Notes:

"First Edition, January 1890 ... Fourth Edition, February, 1895."--T.p. verso.

"For convenience of publication, I have divided this translation of Schopenhauer's 'Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit into two parts; and for the sake of appearances, a new series of chapters has been begun in the present volume. But it should be understood that there is no such division in the original, and that 'The Wisdom of Life' and 'Counsels and Maxims' form a single treatise, devoted to a popular exposition of the author's vies on matters of practice."--Note.
