Book Description
This is a collection of the proverbs of Scotland, with explanatory and illustrative notes and a glossary. Throughout the volume, a considerable number of notes are introduced. The compiler states that many of these notes are mere literal explanations or illustrations, conveying generally a poor idea of the deeper meaning which the proverbs themselves are capable of yielding. The reader will find a very wide array of proverbs used even today.

Book Description
Excerpt from Explanatory and Illustrative Notes and a Glossary The gathering Proverbs of Scotland has occupied the attention of several collectors. The earliest work on the subject which has been traced is that of Beaton, Archbishop of Glasgow, who, about the time of the Reformation, made a small collection. The definite information which we have of this work is so very slight, however, that it has been of little or no value to subsequent collectors and writers on the subject. The first collection of importance is the well-known one made by the Rev. David Fergusson, minister of Dunfermline, who was a contemporary of Archbishop Beaton. Fergusson's collection, which numbered 940 proverbs, was, all circumstances considered, a very commendable one; and it has served as a foundation to the labours of subsequent workers in the same field. The next is that of James Kelly, published in London in 1721. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
