Synopsis

Excerpt from The Salt-Cellars: Being a Collection of Proverbs, Together With Homely Notes

OR many years I have published a Sheet Almanack, intended to be hung up in workshops and kitchens. This has been known as John Ploughman''s Almanack, and has had a large sale. It has promoted temperance, thrift, kindness to animals, and a regard for religion, among working people. The placing of a proverb for every day for twenty years has cost me great labour, and I feel that I cannot afford to lose the large collection of sentences which I have thus brought together: yet lost they would be, if left to die with the ephemeral sheet. Hence these two volumes. They do not profess to be a complete collection of proverbs, but only a few out of many thousands.
