Excerpt from Some Assamese Proverbs: Second Edition, Compiled and Annotated

In conclusion, it is to be hoped that the present attempt to render into English some of the sayings of the people of the Brahmaputra Valley may help to save the former from oblivion, and the agricultural sayings, which it is believedare published now for the first time in English, may be of some practical value to agriculturalists. It is intended, hereafter, with the approval of the Bou'ble the Chief Commissioner, and if time and Opportunity permit, to pub lish some of the proverbs of the Surma Valley.
