A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My small and very imperfect collection of Analogous Prooerbs in four languages (issued in 1882) in which I sought to bring together, under one heading, the same expression of thought in different countries the veritable Folk-L ore of the Peoples met with so cordial a welcome that I have ventured to extend and further develop my original work. In no instance have I given a mere translation. On the other hand, in some few instances a proverb will be met with bearing a directly contrary sense to that expressed in English. Roumania is particularly rich in folk-lore, and I owe my hearty thanks to those members of the Academy of Bucharest who have so kindly helped me in my task ;more especially are my acknowledgments due to a well-known Philologist and Lexicographer for his valuable assistance. I have thought it desirable to issue some interleaved copies of this book, for the benefit of students and folk-lore collectors. In terminating this, my labour of love, I venture to say, in the words of our great poet Chaucer :G o, little book, God send thee good passage, And specially let this be thy prayere, Unto them all that thee will read or hear, Where thou art wrong, after theiihelp to call. Thee to correct in any part or all. E. B. Mawk. BUCHAUKST, 1885.
