The wise sayings and proverbs of ancient and modern times, and in
all the languages I know or to which I had access in translations,
have always had a great attraction for me. Drawn from the
experiences and study of human life, they have been reduced by wise
men to short, pithy sentences, generally expressed in some quaint
or striking form, for conveying sound moral truths. They are
intended to be maxims of life, or rules of conduct, chiefly for the
young, but may be read with pleasure and profit by both young and
old. It was with such an object in view that the Editors of the
Wisdom of the East series have lately issued a number of small
books on this subject carefully translated by competent
specialists, and which have been highly appreciated by the English
press and public. Their chief desire, however, appears to be "that
these books shall be the ambassadors."
