PREFACE TO NEW EDITION.
THIS
edition of Henderson's Proverbs contains
the whole of Henderson's Collection, without
diminution or addition. The arrangement has been
improved by alphabetising the entries under each
heading, and explanatory notes, many of which are
o
taken from Kelly, are added to such proverbs as seemed
CO
^ to call for them. Prefixed to the original edition was
an Introductory Essay by the poet Motherwell. This,
(fi which the writer himself characterized as prolix, is here
^. presented considerably abridged.
