In den WarenkorbFIRST EDITION. Initial ad. leaf, half title, front., plates, illus., 16pp ads; a little spotted, tissue guard roughly removed. Orig. green cloth by Westley & Co., blocked in gilt; sl. marked, spine a little worn at head. Contemp. gift inscription on half title, bookplate of Joan Feisenberger on leading pastedown. Copac lists cop…ies at BL, Oxford and Cambridge only. A lighthearted attempt to explain some of the English language's weirder proverbs, most more or less still in use today ('He that cuts off his nose spites his own face', 'Rome wasn't built in a day'), while others seem to have vanished ('It is not the cowl that makes the monk'), the frontispiece illustration for 'The cat in gloves catches no mice' is especially bizarre.
