Beschreibung:
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. If proverbs are not necessarily short nor sensible they may possess the characteristic quality of saltness, at least in the sense of the Old Arabian saying, A proverb is to speech What salt is to food. Lord Chesterfield, who was fastidious about dress and deportment, declared that a man' of fashion never had recourse to proverbs and vulgar aphorisms; yet many wise and useful people have, like Solomon, pondered and sought out and set in order many of them.
