Answer:

PREFACE

FROM THE PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION OF “MARK TWAIN’S SKETCHES”

If I were to sell the reader a barrel of molasses, and he, instead of sweetening his substantial dinner with the same at judicious intervals, should eat the entire barrel at one sitting, and then abuse me for making him sick, I would say that he deserved to be made sick for not knowing any better how to utilize the blessings this world affords. And if I sell to the reader this volume of nonsense, and he, instead of seasoning his graver reading with a chapter of it now and then, when his mind demands such relaxation, unwisely overdoses himself with several chapters of it at a single sitting, he will deserve to be nauseated, and he will have nobody to blame but himself if he is. There is no more sin in publishing an entire volume of nonsense than there is in keeping a candy-store with no hardware in it. It lies wholly with the customer whether he will injure himself by means of either, or will derive from them the benefits which they will afford him if he uses their possibilities judiciously.

Respectfully submitted,

THE AUTHOR.

3.What was Jefferson’s opinion about changing long-established governments?
elixir [45]

<u>Answer</u>:

Jefferson harshly criticized the actions of the king of England in the declaration of independence. The declaration's list of complaints stated that the king has declined the laws that are for the welfare of the people. According to Jefferson, the king has been rather dispensing further harm to the colonists as a response to their petitions than to actually pay attention to them. Jefferson's faith in the protection of eternal deity indicates a belief that their course of action is morally accurate.
