PROVERBS AND PHRASES OF ALL AGES BY ROBERT CHRISTY TWO VOLUMES, LARGE 12MO, HALF LEATHER, $5.00 "If Mr. Christy has not, in his two interesting volumes, exhausted the wisdom of every age and language, he has at least come nearer doing so than any previous gleaner in his special field."-Atlantic Monthly. 66 "They fill two big volumes and are the result of an almost incredible amount of research and learning."-N. Y. World. 'The present collection has many little-known sayings and all the common proverbs, and shows both industry and taste on the part of the compiler."-Christian Union. "Such books as these are of great value for reference, and we know of no compilation of proverbial sayings that is so desirable on all accounts as this one."-Hartford Courant. "It exhibits a very considerable knowledge of proverbial literature, discrimination in the choice of material, and intelligence in the arrangement of it."-N. Y. Sun. 'It is without a doubt the most comprehensive and conveniently arranged compilation on the subject."-New Haven Palladium. "Diligence, long continued, has made a valuable, and, in a certain sense, indispensable, collection: for public libraries cannot afford to neglect to place on their shelves such a helper for readers."-Critic. 66 He has unearthed many literary gems that lay buried in the writings of once famous but now forgotten or neglected authors."-Montreal Witness. 'The volumes are admirable in their arrangement for easy reference. For the reference library their value could hardly be overestimated."-Toledo Blade. "It is certainly the best arrangement that has yet been given to the public, and will undoubtedly be much sought after by literary people."- Washington Post. "This was never better illustrated than in these two volumes, which present the most complete array of choice proverbs, maxims, and phrases that has yet appeared.”—Boston Journal of Education. "The book is a monument of the compiler's industry, and deserves a place in every library, public and private."—Evangelist. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS, PUBLISHERS |
