Hand Book of Illustrated Proverbs

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. The mode of instruction by Proverbs, is of the highest anti quity; sanctioned by the highest possible authority. The most learned among the ancients, studied, and recorded them in lasting monuments of fame, and transmitted them to their successors as the most memorable instructions of human life. Solomon compiled a book on this subject, the design of which is to show, that a proverb is the interpretation of the words of the wise. They are also to be found in almost every part of the sacred writings.
