ETC. + + + LONDON: WHITTAKER & CO. + + + + + "The genius, wit, and spirit of a nation are discovered by + their proverbs."--LORD BACON. + + + + +PREFACE. + + +Long before writing and books were in common use, proverbs were the +principal means of imparting instruction. In modern times there is not +so much need to apply these old sayings as a means of educating the +people, but they are still constantly met with in the newspapers and in +general literature, and they are rightly considered as "The texts of +common life." + +The late Earl Russell very aptly described a proverb as "The wisdom of +many and the wit of one." We value proverbs chiefly as moral maxims +teaching some practical lesson set forth in concise, pithy sentences, +which are fixed in the memory without effort, and retained without being +burdensome. They have been found useful for guidance in almost every +condition of life; but, on the other hand, it is quite true that many +dangerous precepts have been propounded in proverbs, and some of the +older ones gave such questionable advice, or were couched in such +objectionable language, that they have been very properly omitted from +every collection intended, as this is, for general use. Other old +proverbs have become obsolete, and as their meaning is now obscure, they +have not been included in the Dictionary. + +This series of "Handy Books" would hardly be complete without a +collection of English Proverbs. Many books on the subject have been +written, but it is hoped that this collection will, in some respects, be +found to be an improvement on all its predecessors. Like _The Dictionary +of Daily Blunders_, this _Dictionary of English Proverbs_ has been +framed so as to enable the reader to find what he wants without +difficulty. The Dictionary itself is arranged according to the principal +words, and there is also a Copious Index of additional principal words. + +Other modern collections profess to give an "Alphabetical Index," but +such an index is of little use when we find that it is framed on the +rule that because a proverb begins with the article _A_, it should +therefore be indexed under that letter. As, "A bald head is soon +shaven." In another similar Index we find the proverb, "'Tis the second +blow makes the fray," inserted under the letter _T_. In one index of +this kind there are no less than twenty-two pages of _A's_ and almost +as many of _The's_. Indeed the whole index is compiled without the +slightest regard to the subject of the proverbs. On this subject +Disraeli, in his essay on the "Philosophy of Proverbs," says "The +arrangement of proverbs has baffled the ingenuity of every one of their +collectors. Ray, after long premeditation, has chosen a system with the +appearance of an alphabetical order, but it turns out that his system is +no system, and his alphabet is no alphabet. After ten years' labour the +good man could only arrange his proverbs by commonplaces." In this +little Dictionary, as we have already stated, the proverbs are arranged +in alphabetical order, according to the leading words, and are +consecutively numbered. But, in order to avoid repetition (as most of +the proverbs contain, at least, two leading words), the _subject words_ +are used for the Dictionary, and the other principal words will be found +in the Index, with a numerical reference to the proverb. The great +advantage of this arrangement is, that if only one important word of a +proverb be remembered, that word can be turned to in the Dictionary, +and, if not found there, will certainly be in the Index. Nearly two +thousand of the leading words are thus indexed--enough to make it almost +impossible to miss finding what is wanted. This plan has also the +effect of bringing together the proverbs on kindred subjects, which is +often a matter of importance to writers, and is, moreover, most amusing +to those who only read the book to while away a leisure hour. Ready +reference is further facilitated in the Index by the addition of +associated words. If one word only had been given, the reader might have +had to refer to eleven proverbs before he found the one he required; as, +for example, in the case of _Dog_. + +It may be convenient to state that the Dictionary has been compiled +principally from Ray's collection, first published in 1670. The +remainder of the proverbs have been collected from ancient and modern +literature; but some few of them will not be found in any other +published collection. + +It only remains to remind the reader that this is a collection of +ENGLISH Proverbs only; and we may appropriately conclude our Preface +with a further extract from Disraeli's essay, wherein he very justly +remarks that "The experience of life will throw a perpetual freshness +over these short and simple texts; every day may furnish a new +commentary; and we may grow old and still find novelty in proverbs by +their perpetual application." + + + + +_A Dictionary of English Proverbs._ + + +A + +1.

+ + AND ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER + + BY THE AUTHOR OF + + 'A HANDY BOOK OF SYNONYMS,' + 'A DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH PROVERBS,' ETC. ETC. + + Price 1s. cloth; 1s. 6d. half-bound in leather, red edges. + + +EXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. + +Useful knowledge. . . . Invaluable alike as desk or pocket companion. +. . . Treats of the multitude of errors daily made in speaking and +writing, and offers corrections collected from the best authorities. Its +dictionary form enables any one in doubt to readily turn to the word +required. . . . Its value and necessity are unquestionable.--_Morning +Post._ + +A dictionary has just been published, enumerating the common blunders of +speech and writing, which are constantly perpetrated. Such a work seems, +at first sight, a very formidable undertaking, and the complete mastery +of its text promises many a wretched quarter of an hour to those on whom +its valuable information is inflicted. . . . There are some mistakes +which appear to be ineradicable, and will not be corrected, even if the +Blunder Dictionary arrives at its thousandth edition. . . . Next to the +slave who attended a Roman Emperor in triumph to remind him that he was +mortal . . . surely the object most to be dreaded is the editor of a +Dictionary of Blunders, arranged on such a complete and systematic +plan, as to form a court of appeal to which every household can be +conveniently referred. . . . The volume is actually published, and +contains 126 closely printed pages, containing examples of errors that +are to be found in the daily speech even of well-educated persons. . . . +The Editor is to be thanked for his useful book.--_Daily Telegraph._ + +Pleasantly written. . . . In its dimensions it is handy, and the utility +of its contents is beyond question. The legion of "self-educated" men +who adorn our age should not be without this useful companion, for, by +its aid, the blunders of speech more particularly common to them would +be advantageously avoided.--_Citizen._ + +So far as we can discover from a brief perusal of the handy little +volume, the author's work has been very well done.--_Athenæum._ + +A well-meant attempt to keep people clear of some common errors. . . . +There is certainly evidence enough, of one kind or another, in the +volume before us, of the existence of blunders which could hardly have +been suspected.--_Saturday Review._ + +Beautifully printed. . . . may be confidently recommended to those for +whose use it is designed.--_Manchester Guardian._ + +. . . Of value, and worth knowing. . . . Amusing, and to an extent, +useful also.--_Dublin Freeman's Journal._ + +Will be found useful and amusing. . . . It is arranged alphabetically, +and contains a considerable vocabulary of words supposed to present a +difficulty either in spelling, meaning, or pronunciation. Some of the +comments on popular mistakes are very well done.--_Record._ + +Those who are not quite sure as to their grammar, their pronunciation, +or their spelling, will doubtless find this pocket volume very +useful.--_Sunday Times._ + +Will be of use to every one who has either to speak or to write. As this +embraces all mankind, the book may be said to be of value to everybody. +Very neatly got up.--_Scotsman._ + +A glance through the pages of this book is very amusing, almost as +entertaining as a selection of wit and humour would be. There is no +doubt as to the general accuracy and usefulness of the corrections. +. . . . We heartily recommend the Dictionary.--_Liverpool Albion._ + +Corrected from the best authorities and arranged in alphabetical +order. . . . The student can turn readily to the remarks made upon any +particular mistake.--_Dublin Evening Mail._ + +A useful aid to correct speech.--_Literary World._ + +The value of a book is not always to be reckoned by its size. This +little dictionary would go into the waistcoat pocket, yet every word in +it has its value, and the common mistakes in speaking and writing which +it undertakes to correct are nearly always put right in the best way. In +a few instances in which we are inclined to criticise, a conflict of +opinion among the authorities would probably be found to +exist.--_Bookseller._ + +A manual such as this will not be out of place at the right hand of all +who desire not to blunder.--_Dundee Advertiser._ + +An excellent little book, which cannot be too well known or too widely +circulated. We know a large number of persons who would preserve +themselves from perpetrating the most unfortunate blunders if they would +carefully consult it.--_Christian World._ + +The compiler of _A Dictionary of Daily Blunders_ at least deserves +credit for an excellent idea. . . . Even the most practised speaker or +writer is liable to momentary uncertainty about simple points of +pronunciation or spelling--not to say construction of sentences. . . . +Contains some good material. . . . A useful feature of the book is the +publication in full of participles, in the spelling of which a writer is +often apt to get confused, and which are rarely included in +dictionaries.--_Nottingham Guardian._ + +Evidently at great pains, the author of this useful handbook has brought +together a large number of blunders which are heard often in speaking +and seen in writing. We have gone rather minutely over the work, and can +say that the corrections are nearly all just. . . . The book will be +useful to many, and the reader will be surprised to find in what a great +number of instances he is wrong in the usage and pronunciation of words. +We recommend this handbook heartily.--_Dundee Courier._ + +We can speak highly of this publication. . . . A credit to the publishers, +and we have little doubt will have a very large circulation.--_Wigan +Observer._ + +The selection has been very judiciously made. One must be a remarkably +faultless speaker and writer who does not get several useful hints from +this booklet.--_Aberdeen Journal._ + +. . . There is in this small volume a good deal of really useful matter, +and many readers (especially among those who are also writers) might +derive more benefit from its study than would by themselves be +imagined.--_Exchange._ + + + + +_Excerpts from the Press Notices of Familiar Latin Quotations and +Proverbs._ + + +A translation of the Latin phrases which are of most common use in the +literature of the day, which is likely to be useful.--_The Echo._ + +In a cheap and handy little volume we have here a large selection of +Latin phrases, proverbs, and quotations. It is ample in all respects, +and is likely to be of great and general utility.--_Sunday Times._ + +To newspaper men, public speakers, and correspondents in every +direction, this little "Vade mecum" will prove most +useful.--_News-Vendor._ + +The English translations are given as literally as possible, and they +frequently embrace all the most generally accepted renderings. So far as +we have been able to detect, the book has been carefully edited by a +competent and capable writer.--_Railway Fly-Sheet._ + +A small work of reference such as has been greatly needed. We recommend +it especially to all readers who want to understand what they read, and +do not know Latin, and to all writers who want to seem more learned than +they are.--_Civil Service Review._ + +A very handy selection of "Familiar Latin Quotations and Proverbs," of +which not only translations but also explanations are given. We +confidently recommend this little book.--_Printers' Register._ + +A very handy little book. It contains, arranged in alphabetical order, +all the most common Latin quotations with their signification, and many +which are not so well known. The author has been careful in doing his +work, and has produced a really good little book of +reference.--_Scotsman._ + +To those whose classical education has been wholly neglected the work +will be found to be a suitable "Vade mecum," and even to those who +learnt a good deal of Latin at school it will be found to be highly +useful.--_North British Advertiser._ + +It is a most admirable compilation. We can heartily recommend it as a +book of reference, and from which most genuine instruction can be +extracted.--_Glasgow Citizen._ + +In this handy little book the compiler has collected the Latin +quotations which occur most frequently in the serial literature of the +day, arranging them alphabetically along with translations. This is +truly a "handy referential volume," and deserving of a large +sale.--_Edinburgh Courant._ + +A very useful little work which will be invaluable to the reader whose +studies have not included the classic languages. In the space of 120 +pages are compressed no fewer than fifteen hundred Latin words, phrases, +and proverbs, frequently met with in newspapers, political or +philosophical works, law books, etc. We have looked over the book +carefully, and tested it by searching for less usual quotations; but in +every case we have found what we sought. Each phrase is rendered as +literally as the construction of the English and Latin languages will +admit; and where necessary a paraphrase or explanation is appended in +addition.--_Irish Times._ + + + + +_FAMILIAR ENGLISH QUOTATIONS._ + + +The object of this little volume is to trace the Familiar Quotations so +constantly in use to their proper authorship, and to correct the errors +so frequently made by public speakers and writers. The origin of such +everyday sayings as + + "He that fights and runs away, + May turn and fight another day," + +(erroneously supposed to be in Butler's "Hudibras,") and a number of +other phrases of a like character, is given, and the _exact place_ of +them in the different authors' works is recorded. + +The errors constantly made in quoting are remarkable. The author of +an interesting volume, comprising many well-known passages, names +"Hudibras" as containing the lines + + "They that in quarrels interpose, + Will often wipe a bloody nose." + +In an essay on "Misquotations," which recently appeared in a very ably +conducted newspaper, the object of the writer being to _correct_ the +blunders constantly made, he falls into the usual mistake of quoting +Nat. Lee as writing + + "When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war," + +and a learned and eminent divine, a certain Dr. B., some years ago, in +the presence of a large party, obstinately insisted that + + "A man convinced against his will" + +was a correct passage from "Hudibras," and was only satisfied as to his +blunder by the production of Butler's immortal work. Even so +accomplished a scholar as Mr. Gladstone--_quandoque bonus dormitat +Homerus_--errs; in a recently published number of the _Nineteenth +Century_, quoting Byron's words, + + "The bubbling cry + Of some strong swimmer in his agony," + +he names them as occurring in "Childe Harold," instead of in "Don Juan." + + + LONDON: WHITTAKER & CO. + + + + +TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES + + +The following corrections have been made to the text: + + Page ii: 2.

Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/39281-h/39281-h.htm b/39281-h/39281-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ee49d39 --- /dev/null +++ b/39281-h/39281-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,13357 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of A dictionary of English proverbs and proverbial phrases, by Thomas Preston. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> + + body { margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + + p { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + + hr { width: 33%; margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; clear: both; } + + table { margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + } + + table.index { margin-left: 15%; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; } + + p.hang {padding-left: 1.5em; text-indent: -1.5em;} /* hanging indent */ + + p.tpauthor {text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 130%;} /* on title page, author is centered, big and bold */ + p.tpother {text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 105%;} /* words on title page centered and bold */ + p.tppublisher {text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 100%;} /* publisher info on title page */ + p.booklisttitle {text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 140%;} /* booklist titles bigger and centered */ + + hr.booklist { width: 25%; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; clear: both; } + hr.newchapter { width: 65%; margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 2em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; clear: both; } + + div.title { margin-top: 4em; margin-bottom: 4em; } /* block around title */ + div.author { margin-top: 4em; } /* creates an author block on the title page */ + div.authorbl { margin-top: 4em; margin-bottom: 2em; } /* top and bottom margin for booklist author block */ + div.publisher { margin-top: 4em; margin-bottom: 4em; } /* block for publisher info on title page */ + div.booklist { margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 15%; } /* booklist has wider margins */ + div.quotation { text-align: center; margin-top: 4em; margin-bottom: 4em;} /* block for quotation from another source */ + + .tdnewletter {text-align:center; font-weight:bold; padding-top: 3em;} /* each letter in index has extra white space above */ + .tdindexentry {text-align:left;} /* index entries left-aligned */ + .tdright {vertical-align: top; text-align:right} + .tdcenter {vertical-align: top; text-align:center;} + .tdpage {text-align:right; vertical-align: bottom;} /* page number in index right-aligned */ + + .pagenum { /* uncomment the next line for invisible page numbers */ + /* visibility: hidden; */ + position: absolute; + right: 3%; + font-size: smaller; + font-weight: normal; + font-variant: normal; + font-style: normal; + text-align: right; + } /* page numbers */ + + .img {text-align: center; padding: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} /* centering images */ + + .figcenter {margin: auto; text-align: center;} + + .blockquot {margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} + .tnblock {margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} /* block for corrections in transcriber note */ + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span.i0 {display: block; margin-left: 0em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i1 {display: block; margin-left: 1em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + + .center {text-align: center;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + .smaller {font-size: 70%;} + .sectctr {margin-top: 2.5em; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;} /* adds extra space at top of section and centers text */ + + .notebox {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; margin-top: 5%; /* makes box around Transcriber's Notes */ + margin-bottom: 5%; padding: 1em; border: solid black 1px;} + + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Dictionary of English Proverbs and +Proverbial Phrases, by Thomas Preston + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

In modern times there is not +so much need to apply these old sayings as a means of educating the +people, but they are still constantly met with in the newspapers and in +general literature, and they are rightly considered as "The texts of +common life."</p> + +<p>The late Earl Russell very aptly described a proverb as "The wisdom of +many and the wit of one." We value proverbs chiefly as moral maxims +teaching some practical lesson set forth in concise, pithy sentences, +which are fixed in the memory without effort, and retained without being +burdensome. They have been found useful for guidance in almost every +condition of life; but, on the other hand, it is quite true that many +dangerous precepts have been propounded in proverbs, and some of the +older ones <!-- Page vi --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vi" id="Page_vi"></a>[<a href="./images/vi.png">vi</a>]</span>gave such questionable advice, or were couched in such +objectionable language, that they have been very properly omitted from +every collection intended, as this is, for general use. Other old +proverbs have become obsolete, and as their meaning is now obscure, they +have not been included in the Dictionary.</p> + +<p>This series of "Handy Books" would hardly be complete without a +collection of English Proverbs. Many books on the subject have been +written, but it is hoped that this collection will, in some respects, be +found to be an improvement on all its predecessors. Like <i>The Dictionary +of Daily Blunders</i>, this <i>Dictionary of English Proverbs</i> has been +framed so as to enable the reader to find what he wants without +difficulty. The Dictionary itself is arranged according to the principal +words, and there is also a Copious Index of additional principal words.</p> + +<p>Other modern collections profess to give an "Alphabetical Index," but +such an index is of little use when we find that it is framed on the +rule that because a proverb begins with the article <i>A</i>, it should +therefore be indexed under that letter. As, "A bald head is soon +shaven." In another similar Index we find the proverb, "'Tis the second +blow makes the fray," inserted under the letter <i>T</i>. In one index of +this kind there are no less than twenty-two pages of <i>A's</i> <!-- Page vii --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vii" id="Page_vii"></a>[<a href="./images/vii.png">vii</a>]</span>and almost +as many of <i>The's</i>. Indeed the whole index is compiled without the +slightest regard to the subject of the proverbs. On this subject +Disraeli, in his essay on the "Philosophy of Proverbs," says "The +arrangement of proverbs has baffled the ingenuity of every one of their +collectors. Ray, after long premeditation, has chosen a system with the +appearance of an alphabetical order, but it turns out that his system is +no system, and his alphabet is no alphabet. After ten years' labour the +good man could only arrange his proverbs by commonplaces." In this +little Dictionary, as we have already stated, the proverbs are arranged +in alphabetical order, according to the leading words, and are +consecutively numbered. But, in order to avoid repetition (as most of +the proverbs contain, at least, two leading words), the <i>subject words</i> +are used for the Dictionary, and the other principal words will be found +in the Index, with a numerical reference to the proverb. The great +advantage of this arrangement is, that if only one important word of a +proverb be remembered, that word can be turned to in the Dictionary, +and, if not found there, will certainly be in the Index. Nearly two +thousand of the leading words are thus indexed—enough to make it almost +impossible to miss finding what is wanted. This plan has also the +effect <!-- Page viii --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii"></a>[<a href="./images/viii.png">viii</a>]</span>of bringing together the proverbs on kindred subjects, which is +often a matter of importance to writers, and is, moreover, most amusing +to those who only read the book to while away a leisure hour. Ready +reference is further facilitated in the Index by the addition of +associated words. If one word only had been given, the reader might have +had to refer to eleven proverbs before he found the one he required; as, +for example, in the case of <i>Dog</i>.</p> + +<p>It may be convenient to state that the Dictionary has been compiled +principally from Ray's collection, first published in 1670. The +remainder of the proverbs have been collected from ancient and modern +literature; but some few of them will not be found in any other +published collection.</p> + +<p>It only remains to remind the reader that this is a collection of +<span class="smcap">English</span> Proverbs only; and we may appropriately conclude our Preface +with a further extract from Disraeli's essay, wherein he very justly +remarks that "The experience of life will throw a perpetual freshness +over these short and simple texts; every day may furnish a new +commentary; and we may grow old and still find novelty in proverbs by +their perpetual application."</p> + + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<p><!-- Page 1 --><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_1" id="Page_1"></a>[<a href="./images/1.png">1</a>]</span></p>

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/39281-h/images/1.png b/39281-h/images/1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index

ETC. + + + LONDON: WHITTAKER & CO. + + + + + "The genius, wit, and spirit of a nation are discovered by + their proverbs."--LORD BACON. + + + + +PREFACE. + + +Long before writing and books were in common use, proverbs were the +principal means of imparting instruction. In modern times there is not +so much need to apply these old sayings as a means of educating the +people, but they are still constantly met with in the newspapers and in +general literature, and they are rightly considered as "The texts of +common life." + +The late Earl Russell very aptly described a proverb as "The wisdom of +many and the wit of one." We value proverbs chiefly as moral maxims +teaching some practical lesson set forth in concise, pithy sentences, +which are fixed in the memory without effort, and retained without being +burdensome. They have been found useful for guidance in almost every +condition of life; but, on the other hand, it is quite true that many +dangerous precepts have been propounded in proverbs, and some of the +older ones gave such questionable advice, or were couched in such +objectionable language, that they have been very properly omitted from +every collection intended, as this is, for general use. Other old +proverbs have become obsolete, and as their meaning is now obscure, they +have not been included in the Dictionary. + +This series of "Handy Books" would hardly be complete without a +collection of English Proverbs. Many books on the subject have been +written, but it is hoped that this collection will, in some respects, be +found to be an improvement on all its predecessors. Like _The Dictionary +of Daily Blunders_, this _Dictionary of English Proverbs_ has been +framed so as to enable the reader to find what he wants without +difficulty. The Dictionary itself is arranged according to the principal +words, and there is also a Copious Index of additional principal words. + +Other modern collections profess to give an "Alphabetical Index," but +such an index is of little use when we find that it is framed on the +rule that because a proverb begins with the article _A_, it should +therefore be indexed under that letter. As, "A bald head is soon +shaven." In another similar Index we find the proverb, "'Tis the second +blow makes the fray," inserted under the letter _T_. In one index of +this kind there are no less than twenty-two pages of _A's_ and almost +as many of _The's_. Indeed the whole index is compiled without the +slightest regard to the subject of the proverbs. On this subject +Disraeli, in his essay on the "Philosophy of Proverbs," says "The +arrangement of proverbs has baffled the ingenuity of every one of their +collectors. Ray, after long premeditation, has chosen a system with the +appearance of an alphabetical order, but it turns out that his system is +no system, and his alphabet is no alphabet. After ten years' labour the +good man could only arrange his proverbs by commonplaces." In this +little Dictionary, as we have already stated, the proverbs are arranged +in alphabetical order, according to the leading words, and are +consecutively numbered. But, in order to avoid repetition (as most of +the proverbs contain, at least, two leading words), the _subject words_ +are used for the Dictionary, and the other principal words will be found +in the Index, with a numerical reference to the proverb. The great +advantage of this arrangement is, that if only one important word of a +proverb be remembered, that word can be turned to in the Dictionary, +and, if not found there, will certainly be in the Index. Nearly two +thousand of the leading words are thus indexed--enough to make it almost +impossible to miss finding what is wanted. This plan has also the +effect of bringing together the proverbs on kindred subjects, which is +often a matter of importance to writers, and is, moreover, most amusing +to those who only read the book to while away a leisure hour. Ready +reference is further facilitated in the Index by the addition of +associated words. If one word only had been given, the reader might have +had to refer to eleven proverbs before he found the one he required; as, +for example, in the case of _Dog_. + +It may be convenient to state that the Dictionary has been compiled +principally from Ray's collection, first published in 1670. The +remainder of the proverbs have been collected from ancient and modern +literature; but some few of them will not be found in any other +published collection. + +It only remains to remind the reader that this is a collection of +ENGLISH Proverbs only; and we may appropriately conclude our Preface +with a further extract from Disraeli's essay, wherein he very justly +remarks that "The experience of life will throw a perpetual freshness +over these short and simple texts; every day may furnish a new +commentary; and we may grow old and still find novelty in proverbs by +their perpetual application." + + + + +_A Dictionary of English Proverbs._ + + +A + +1.

+ + AND ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER + + BY THE AUTHOR OF + + 'A HANDY BOOK OF SYNONYMS,' + 'A DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH PROVERBS,' ETC. ETC. + + Price 1s. cloth; 1s. 6d. half-bound in leather, red edges. + + +EXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. + +Useful knowledge. . . . Invaluable alike as desk or pocket companion. +. . . Treats of the multitude of errors daily made in speaking and +writing, and offers corrections collected from the best authorities. Its +dictionary form enables any one in doubt to readily turn to the word +required. . . . Its value and necessity are unquestionable.--_Morning +Post._ + +A dictionary has just been published, enumerating the common blunders of +speech and writing, which are constantly perpetrated. Such a work seems, +at first sight, a very formidable undertaking, and the complete mastery +of its text promises many a wretched quarter of an hour to those on whom +its valuable information is inflicted. . . . There are some mistakes +which appear to be ineradicable, and will not be corrected, even if the +Blunder Dictionary arrives at its thousandth edition. . . . Next to the +slave who attended a Roman Emperor in triumph to remind him that he was +mortal . . . surely the object most to be dreaded is the editor of a +Dictionary of Blunders, arranged on such a complete and systematic +plan, as to form a court of appeal to which every household can be +conveniently referred. . . . The volume is actually published, and +contains 126 closely printed pages, containing examples of errors that +are to be found in the daily speech even of well-educated persons. . . . +The Editor is to be thanked for his useful book.--_Daily Telegraph._ + +Pleasantly written. . . . In its dimensions it is handy, and the utility +of its contents is beyond question. The legion of "self-educated" men +who adorn our age should not be without this useful companion, for, by +its aid, the blunders of speech more particularly common to them would +be advantageously avoided.--_Citizen._ + +So far as we can discover from a brief perusal of the handy little +volume, the author's work has been very well done.--_Athenæum._ + +A well-meant attempt to keep people clear of some common errors. . . . +There is certainly evidence enough, of one kind or another, in the +volume before us, of the existence of blunders which could hardly have +been suspected.--_Saturday Review._ + +Beautifully printed. . . . may be confidently recommended to those for +whose use it is designed.--_Manchester Guardian._ + +. . . Of value, and worth knowing. . . . Amusing, and to an extent, +useful also.--_Dublin Freeman's Journal._ + +Will be found useful and amusing. . . . It is arranged alphabetically, +and contains a considerable vocabulary of words supposed to present a +difficulty either in spelling, meaning, or pronunciation. Some of the +comments on popular mistakes are very well done.--_Record._ + +Those who are not quite sure as to their grammar, their pronunciation, +or their spelling, will doubtless find this pocket volume very +useful.--_Sunday Times._ + +Will be of use to every one who has either to speak or to write. As this +embraces all mankind, the book may be said to be of value to everybody. +Very neatly got up.--_Scotsman._ + +A glance through the pages of this book is very amusing, almost as +entertaining as a selection of wit and humour would be. There is no +doubt as to the general accuracy and usefulness of the corrections. +. . . . We heartily recommend the Dictionary.--_Liverpool Albion._ + +Corrected from the best authorities and arranged in alphabetical +order. . . . The student can turn readily to the remarks made upon any +particular mistake.--_Dublin Evening Mail._ + +A useful aid to correct speech.--_Literary World._ + +The value of a book is not always to be reckoned by its size. This +little dictionary would go into the waistcoat pocket, yet every word in +it has its value, and the common mistakes in speaking and writing which +it undertakes to correct are nearly always put right in the best way. In +a few instances in which we are inclined to criticise, a conflict of +opinion among the authorities would probably be found to +exist.--_Bookseller._ + +A manual such as this will not be out of place at the right hand of all +who desire not to blunder.--_Dundee Advertiser._ + +An excellent little book, which cannot be too well known or too widely +circulated. We know a large number of persons who would preserve +themselves from perpetrating the most unfortunate blunders if they would +carefully consult it.--_Christian World._ + +The compiler of _A Dictionary of Daily Blunders_ at least deserves +credit for an excellent idea. . . . Even the most practised speaker or +writer is liable to momentary uncertainty about simple points of +pronunciation or spelling--not to say construction of sentences. . . . +Contains some good material. . . . A useful feature of the book is the +publication in full of participles, in the spelling of which a writer is +often apt to get confused, and which are rarely included in +dictionaries.--_Nottingham Guardian._ + +Evidently at great pains, the author of this useful handbook has brought +together a large number of blunders which are heard often in speaking +and seen in writing. We have gone rather minutely over the work, and can +say that the corrections are nearly all just. . . . The book will be +useful to many, and the reader will be surprised to find in what a great +number of instances he is wrong in the usage and pronunciation of words. +We recommend this handbook heartily.--_Dundee Courier._ + +We can speak highly of this publication. . . . A credit to the publishers, +and we have little doubt will have a very large circulation.--_Wigan +Observer._ + +The selection has been very judiciously made. One must be a remarkably +faultless speaker and writer who does not get several useful hints from +this booklet.--_Aberdeen Journal._ + +. . . There is in this small volume a good deal of really useful matter, +and many readers (especially among those who are also writers) might +derive more benefit from its study than would by themselves be +imagined.--_Exchange._ + + + + +_Excerpts from the Press Notices of Familiar Latin Quotations and +Proverbs._ + + +A translation of the Latin phrases which are of most common use in the +literature of the day, which is likely to be useful.--_The Echo._ + +In a cheap and handy little volume we have here a large selection of +Latin phrases, proverbs, and quotations. It is ample in all respects, +and is likely to be of great and general utility.--_Sunday Times._ + +To newspaper men, public speakers, and correspondents in every +direction, this little "Vade mecum" will prove most +useful.--_News-Vendor._ + +The English translations are given as literally as possible, and they +frequently embrace all the most generally accepted renderings. So far as +we have been able to detect, the book has been carefully edited by a +competent and capable writer.--_Railway Fly-Sheet._ + +A small work of reference such as has been greatly needed. We recommend +it especially to all readers who want to understand what they read, and +do not know Latin, and to all writers who want to seem more learned than +they are.--_Civil Service Review._ + +A very handy selection of "Familiar Latin Quotations and Proverbs," of +which not only translations but also explanations are given. We +confidently recommend this little book.--_Printers' Register._ + +A very handy little book. It contains, arranged in alphabetical order, +all the most common Latin quotations with their signification, and many +which are not so well known. The author has been careful in doing his +work, and has produced a really good little book of +reference.--_Scotsman._ + +To those whose classical education has been wholly neglected the work +will be found to be a suitable "Vade mecum," and even to those who +learnt a good deal of Latin at school it will be found to be highly +useful.--_North British Advertiser._ + +It is a most admirable compilation. We can heartily recommend it as a +book of reference, and from which most genuine instruction can be +extracted.--_Glasgow Citizen._ + +In this handy little book the compiler has collected the Latin +quotations which occur most frequently in the serial literature of the +day, arranging them alphabetically along with translations. This is +truly a "handy referential volume," and deserving of a large +sale.--_Edinburgh Courant._ + +A very useful little work which will be invaluable to the reader whose +studies have not included the classic languages. In the space of 120 +pages are compressed no fewer than fifteen hundred Latin words, phrases, +and proverbs, frequently met with in newspapers, political or +philosophical works, law books, etc. We have looked over the book +carefully, and tested it by searching for less usual quotations; but in +every case we have found what we sought. Each phrase is rendered as +literally as the construction of the English and Latin languages will +admit; and where necessary a paraphrase or explanation is appended in +addition.--_Irish Times._ + + + + +_FAMILIAR ENGLISH QUOTATIONS._ + + +The object of this little volume is to trace the Familiar Quotations so +constantly in use to their proper authorship, and to correct the errors +so frequently made by public speakers and writers. The origin of such +everyday sayings as + + "He that fights and runs away, + May turn and fight another day," + +(erroneously supposed to be in Butler's "Hudibras,") and a number of +other phrases of a like character, is given, and the _exact place_ of +them in the different authors' works is recorded. + +The errors constantly made in quoting are remarkable. The author of +an interesting volume, comprising many well-known passages, names +"Hudibras" as containing the lines + + "They that in quarrels interpose, + Will often wipe a bloody nose." + +In an essay on "Misquotations," which recently appeared in a very ably +conducted newspaper, the object of the writer being to _correct_ the +blunders constantly made, he falls into the usual mistake of quoting +Nat. Lee as writing + + "When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war," + +and a learned and eminent divine, a certain Dr. B., some years ago, in +the presence of a large party, obstinately insisted that + + "A man convinced against his will" + +was a correct passage from "Hudibras," and was only satisfied as to his +blunder by the production of Butler's immortal work. Even so +accomplished a scholar as Mr. Gladstone--_quandoque bonus dormitat +Homerus_--errs; in a recently published number of the _Nineteenth +Century_, quoting Byron's words, + + "The bubbling cry + Of some strong swimmer in his agony," + +he names them as occurring in "Childe Harold," instead of in "Don Juan." + + + LONDON: WHITTAKER & CO. + + + + +TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES + + +The following corrections have been made to the text: + + Page ii: 2.

ETC. + + + LONDON: WHITTAKER & CO. + + + + + "The genius, wit, and spirit of a nation are discovered by + their proverbs."--LORD BACON. + + + + +PREFACE. + + +Long before writing and books were in common use, proverbs were the +principal means of imparting instruction. In modern times there is not +so much need to apply these old sayings as a means of educating the +people, but they are still constantly met with in the newspapers and in +general literature, and they are rightly considered as "The texts of +common life." + +The late Earl Russell very aptly described a proverb as "The wisdom of +many and the wit of one." We value proverbs chiefly as moral maxims +teaching some practical lesson set forth in concise, pithy sentences, +which are fixed in the memory without effort, and retained without being +burdensome. They have been found useful for guidance in almost every +condition of life; but, on the other hand, it is quite true that many +dangerous precepts have been propounded in proverbs, and some of the +older ones gave such questionable advice, or were couched in such +objectionable language, that they have been very properly omitted from +every collection intended, as this is, for general use. Other old +proverbs have become obsolete, and as their meaning is now obscure, they +have not been included in the Dictionary. + +This series of "Handy Books" would hardly be complete without a +collection of English Proverbs. Many books on the subject have been +written, but it is hoped that this collection will, in some respects, be +found to be an improvement on all its predecessors. Like _The Dictionary +of Daily Blunders_, this _Dictionary of English Proverbs_ has been +framed so as to enable the reader to find what he wants without +difficulty. The Dictionary itself is arranged according to the principal +words, and there is also a Copious Index of additional principal words. + +Other modern collections profess to give an "Alphabetical Index," but +such an index is of little use when we find that it is framed on the +rule that because a proverb begins with the article _A_, it should +therefore be indexed under that letter. As, "A bald head is soon +shaven." In another similar Index we find the proverb, "'Tis the second +blow makes the fray," inserted under the letter _T_. In one index of +this kind there are no less than twenty-two pages of _A's_ and almost +as many of _The's_. Indeed the whole index is compiled without the +slightest regard to the subject of the proverbs. On this subject +Disraeli, in his essay on the "Philosophy of Proverbs," says "The +arrangement of proverbs has baffled the ingenuity of every one of their +collectors. Ray, after long premeditation, has chosen a system with the +appearance of an alphabetical order, but it turns out that his system is +no system, and his alphabet is no alphabet. After ten years' labour the +good man could only arrange his proverbs by commonplaces." In this +little Dictionary, as we have already stated, the proverbs are arranged +in alphabetical order, according to the leading words, and are +consecutively numbered. But, in order to avoid repetition (as most of +the proverbs contain, at least, two leading words), the _subject words_ +are used for the Dictionary, and the other principal words will be found +in the Index, with a numerical reference to the proverb. The great +advantage of this arrangement is, that if only one important word of a +proverb be remembered, that word can be turned to in the Dictionary, +and, if not found there, will certainly be in the Index. Nearly two +thousand of the leading words are thus indexed--enough to make it almost +impossible to miss finding what is wanted. This plan has also the +effect of bringing together the proverbs on kindred subjects, which is +often a matter of importance to writers, and is, moreover, most amusing +to those who only read the book to while away a leisure hour. Ready +reference is further facilitated in the Index by the addition of +associated words. If one word only had been given, the reader might have +had to refer to eleven proverbs before he found the one he required; as, +for example, in the case of _Dog_. + +It may be convenient to state that the Dictionary has been compiled +principally from Ray's collection, first published in 1670. The +remainder of the proverbs have been collected from ancient and modern +literature; but some few of them will not be found in any other +published collection. + +It only remains to remind the reader that this is a collection of +ENGLISH Proverbs only; and we may appropriately conclude our Preface +with a further extract from Disraeli's essay, wherein he very justly +remarks that "The experience of life will throw a perpetual freshness +over these short and simple texts; every day may furnish a new +commentary; and we may grow old and still find novelty in proverbs by +their perpetual application." + + + + +_A Dictionary of English Proverbs._ + + +A + +1.

+ + AND ARRANGED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER + + BY THE AUTHOR OF + + 'A HANDY BOOK OF SYNONYMS,' + 'A DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH PROVERBS,' ETC. ETC. + + Price 1s. cloth; 1s. 6d. half-bound in leather, red edges. + + +EXTRACTS FROM OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. + +Useful knowledge. . . . Invaluable alike as desk or pocket companion. +. . . Treats of the multitude of errors daily made in speaking and +writing, and offers corrections collected from the best authorities. Its +dictionary form enables any one in doubt to readily turn to the word +required. . . . Its value and necessity are unquestionable.--_Morning +Post._ + +A dictionary has just been published, enumerating the common blunders of +speech and writing, which are constantly perpetrated. Such a work seems, +at first sight, a very formidable undertaking, and the complete mastery +of its text promises many a wretched quarter of an hour to those on whom +its valuable information is inflicted. . . . There are some mistakes +which appear to be ineradicable, and will not be corrected, even if the +Blunder Dictionary arrives at its thousandth edition. . . . Next to the +slave who attended a Roman Emperor in triumph to remind him that he was +mortal . . . surely the object most to be dreaded is the editor of a +Dictionary of Blunders, arranged on such a complete and systematic +plan, as to form a court of appeal to which every household can be +conveniently referred. . . . The volume is actually published, and +contains 126 closely printed pages, containing examples of errors that +are to be found in the daily speech even of well-educated persons. . . . +The Editor is to be thanked for his useful book.--_Daily Telegraph._ + +Pleasantly written. . . . In its dimensions it is handy, and the utility +of its contents is beyond question. The legion of "self-educated" men +who adorn our age should not be without this useful companion, for, by +its aid, the blunders of speech more particularly common to them would +be advantageously avoided.--_Citizen._ + +So far as we can discover from a brief perusal of the handy little +volume, the author's work has been very well done.--_AthenA|um._ + +A well-meant attempt to keep people clear of some common errors. . . . +There is certainly evidence enough, of one kind or another, in the +volume before us, of the existence of blunders which could hardly have +been suspected.--_Saturday Review._ + +Beautifully printed. . . . may be confidently recommended to those for +whose use it is designed.--_Manchester Guardian._ + +. . . Of value, and worth knowing. . . . Amusing, and to an extent, +useful also.--_Dublin Freeman's Journal._ + +Will be found useful and amusing. . . . It is arranged alphabetically, +and contains a considerable vocabulary of words supposed to present a +difficulty either in spelling, meaning, or pronunciation. Some of the +comments on popular mistakes are very well done.--_Record._ + +Those who are not quite sure as to their grammar, their pronunciation, +or their spelling, will doubtless find this pocket volume very +useful.--_Sunday Times._ + +Will be of use to every one who has either to speak or to write. As this +embraces all mankind, the book may be said to be of value to everybody. +Very neatly got up.--_Scotsman._ + +A glance through the pages of this book is very amusing, almost as +entertaining as a selection of wit and humour would be. There is no +doubt as to the general accuracy and usefulness of the corrections. +. . . . We heartily recommend the Dictionary.--_Liverpool Albion._ + +Corrected from the best authorities and arranged in alphabetical +order. . . . The student can turn readily to the remarks made upon any +particular mistake.--_Dublin Evening Mail._ + +A useful aid to correct speech.--_Literary World._ + +The value of a book is not always to be reckoned by its size. This +little dictionary would go into the waistcoat pocket, yet every word in +it has its value, and the common mistakes in speaking and writing which +it undertakes to correct are nearly always put right in the best way. In +a few instances in which we are inclined to criticise, a conflict of +opinion among the authorities would probably be found to +exist.--_Bookseller._ + +A manual such as this will not be out of place at the right hand of all +who desire not to blunder.--_Dundee Advertiser._ + +An excellent little book, which cannot be too well known or too widely +circulated. We know a large number of persons who would preserve +themselves from perpetrating the most unfortunate blunders if they would +carefully consult it.--_Christian World._ + +The compiler of _A Dictionary of Daily Blunders_ at least deserves +credit for an excellent idea. . . . Even the most practised speaker or +writer is liable to momentary uncertainty about simple points of +pronunciation or spelling--not to say construction of sentences. . . . +Contains some good material. . . . A useful feature of the book is the +publication in full of participles, in the spelling of which a writer is +often apt to get confused, and which are rarely included in +dictionaries.--_Nottingham Guardian._ + +Evidently at great pains, the author of this useful handbook has brought +together a large number of blunders which are heard often in speaking +and seen in writing. We have gone rather minutely over the work, and can +say that the corrections are nearly all just. . . . The book will be +useful to many, and the reader will be surprised to find in what a great +number of instances he is wrong in the usage and pronunciation of words. +We recommend this handbook heartily.--_Dundee Courier._ + +We can speak highly of this publication. . . . A credit to the publishers, +and we have little doubt will have a very large circulation.--_Wigan +Observer._ + +The selection has been very judiciously made. One must be a remarkably +faultless speaker and writer who does not get several useful hints from +this booklet.--_Aberdeen Journal._ + +. . . There is in this small volume a good deal of really useful matter, +and many readers (especially among those who are also writers) might +derive more benefit from its study than would by themselves be +imagined.--_Exchange._ + + + + +_Excerpts from the Press Notices of Familiar Latin Quotations and +Proverbs._ + + +A translation of the Latin phrases which are of most common use in the +literature of the day, which is likely to be useful.--_The Echo._ + +In a cheap and handy little volume we have here a large selection of +Latin phrases, proverbs, and quotations. It is ample in all respects, +and is likely to be of great and general utility.--_Sunday Times._ + +To newspaper men, public speakers, and correspondents in every +direction, this little "Vade mecum" will prove most +useful.--_News-Vendor._ + +The English translations are given as literally as possible, and they +frequently embrace all the most generally accepted renderings. So far as +we have been able to detect, the book has been carefully edited by a +competent and capable writer.--_Railway Fly-Sheet._ + +A small work of reference such as has been greatly needed. We recommend +it especially to all readers who want to understand what they read, and +do not know Latin, and to all writers who want to seem more learned than +they are.--_Civil Service Review._ + +A very handy selection of "Familiar Latin Quotations and Proverbs," of +which not only translations but also explanations are given. We +confidently recommend this little book.--_Printers' Register._ + +A very handy little book. It contains, arranged in alphabetical order, +all the most common Latin quotations with their signification, and many +which are not so well known. The author has been careful in doing his +work, and has produced a really good little book of +reference.--_Scotsman._ + +To those whose classical education has been wholly neglected the work +will be found to be a suitable "Vade mecum," and even to those who +learnt a good deal of Latin at school it will be found to be highly +useful.--_North British Advertiser._ + +It is a most admirable compilation. We can heartily recommend it as a +book of reference, and from which most genuine instruction can be +extracted.--_Glasgow Citizen._ + +In this handy little book the compiler has collected the Latin +quotations which occur most frequently in the serial literature of the +day, arranging them alphabetically along with translations. This is +truly a "handy referential volume," and deserving of a large +sale.--_Edinburgh Courant._ + +A very useful little work which will be invaluable to the reader whose +studies have not included the classic languages. In the space of 120 +pages are compressed no fewer than fifteen hundred Latin words, phrases, +and proverbs, frequently met with in newspapers, political or +philosophical works, law books, etc. We have looked over the book +carefully, and tested it by searching for less usual quotations; but in +every case we have found what we sought. Each phrase is rendered as +literally as the construction of the English and Latin languages will +admit; and where necessary a paraphrase or explanation is appended in +addition.--_Irish Times._ + + + + +_FAMILIAR ENGLISH QUOTATIONS._ + + +The object of this little volume is to trace the Familiar Quotations so +constantly in use to their proper authorship, and to correct the errors +so frequently made by public speakers and writers. The origin of such +everyday sayings as + + "He that fights and runs away, + May turn and fight another day," + +(erroneously supposed to be in Butler's "Hudibras,") and a number of +other phrases of a like character, is given, and the _exact place_ of +them in the different authors' works is recorded. + +The errors constantly made in quoting are remarkable. The author of +an interesting volume, comprising many well-known passages, names +"Hudibras" as containing the lines + + "They that in quarrels interpose, + Will often wipe a bloody nose." + +In an essay on "Misquotations," which recently appeared in a very ably +conducted newspaper, the object of the writer being to _correct_ the +blunders constantly made, he falls into the usual mistake of quoting +Nat. Lee as writing + + "When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war," + +and a learned and eminent divine, a certain Dr. B., some years ago, in +the presence of a large party, obstinately insisted that + + "A man convinced against his will" + +was a correct passage from "Hudibras," and was only satisfied as to his +blunder by the production of Butler's immortal work. Even so +accomplished a scholar as Mr. Gladstone--_quandoque bonus dormitat +Homerus_--errs; in a recently published number of the _Nineteenth +Century_, quoting Byron's words, + + "The bubbling cry + Of some strong swimmer in his agony," + +he names them as occurring in "Childe Harold," instead of in "Don Juan." + + + LONDON: WHITTAKER & CO. + + + + +TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES + + +The following corrections have been made to the text: + + Page ii: 2.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/39281.zip b/old/39281.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0e6668e --- /dev/null +++ b/old/39281.zip |
