| 520 | _a"The Wise and Ingenious Companion, French and English" by Abel Boyer is a collection of witty sayings, anecdotes, and repartees written in the early 18th century. The work aims to captivate and educate readers by compiling clever thoughts from various illustrious figures throughout history, both ancient and modern. It serves as a delightful exploration of wit, language, and culture, particularly catering to English speakers and foreigners seeking to improve their knowledge of both the English and French languages. At the start of the collection, Boyer provides a detailed introduction that discusses the value of wise sayings and witty repartees in culture and conversation. He reflects on how ancient Greeks and Romans appreciated and recorded these clever remarks, emphasizing their educational and entertaining qualities. The introduction also sets the stage for the subsequent collection, highlighting how the work aims to differentiate genuine wit from trivial puns or vulgar jokes, thereby ensuring that readers not only enjoy the anecdotes but also find value in their moral and cultural significance.
