I have recovered the References section, which was removed earlier in 2009 and then covered up as vandalism by an Addbot edit. This is EB 1911 text and needs a lot of work. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:53, 4 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm lost.

Thomas Fuller's comment, "He that bringeth a present findeth the door open," was Slashdotted, and I wanted to find out more about him.

I expect to find out, at the beginning of the entry, why Fuller is important. Is one of his works particularly noteworty? Is he frequently cited by subsequent authors? Was his political activity significant?

This would be a much better entry if somebody could add a short paragraph like that to the top.

(It would be much better if somebody broke it up into smaller paragraphs, too.) Nbauman 17:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Gnomologia edit

This 1732 book, a collection of popular sayings, is not the work of this Thomas Fuller. It's the work of Thomas Fuller MD the physician, 1654-1734.
