Sewed / Card covers. Condition: Fine condition. Reprint of the 1948 edition. With introduction, comments and a glossary. Illustrated by John Mackay. As Forbes Macgregor wrote in his introduction, 'There is no surer guide to the general character of a race than a study of its proverbs.' Some Scots proverbs are so very ancient that they refer to a manner of life which has totally disappeared. Both the vocabulary and the background have to be explained. Others refer to historical events and incidents which are fairly well known. Some are purely local sayings which, however, still hold human interest. Many proverbs are so self-explanatory as to be called truisms. But they also have their value in a Scottish collection. 48 pag. Size: 18cmx12cm. Seller Inventory # 027774
