  A collection of over 500 proverbs, incorporated alphabetically in English, this book is a lively collection of folk wisdom, and wit. A large number of Tamil proverbs and sayings have been included under the corresponding Sinhalese ones, and whenever possible, English and Latin equivalents have been noted. The cross references under each head is intended mainly to help the reader to get what he wants almost at a glance, as it were. Many of these proverbs derive that point, pungency, pithiness, and beauty either, ‘apt alliteration’s artful aid’, or form puns and idiomatic phrases which cannot effectively be reproduced in English dress. The author has done the best he can, but he is still not satisfied with the English rendering in a number of cases. In this compilation the author has, apart from the proverbs, given the adages, aphorisms, bywords, maxims, precepts, dictums, etc too. Along with many of the listed proverbs, the author inserts the connected myths, legends, and folk-tales to make this book is an indispensable one. This book is a reprint of the 1936 edition.
