By Sophia Tandy

Aunt Margery's Maxims: Work, Watch, Wait is a book written by Sophia Tandy and originally published in 1885. The book is a collection of moral and practical advice given by the fictional character Aunt Margery to her young niece and nephew. The advice is presented in the form of maxims, short sayings that are meant to be easily remembered and applied to daily life. The three main themes of the maxims are work, watchfulness, and patience. Aunt Margery emphasizes the importance of hard work, both in terms of personal growth and contributing to society. She also stresses the need to be alert and attentive to one's surroundings, in order to avoid danger and make the most of opportunities. Finally, she encourages her readers to be patient and persevere through difficult times, trusting in God's plan for their lives. The book is written in a simple, straightforward style and is intended for a general audience, particularly young people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
