Synopsis
Excerpt from A Century of Scottish Proverbs and Sayings: In Prose and Rhyme, Current in Fife and Chiefly of Fife Origin
I have for my recreation collected some few of them; therein favouring the old; not omitting any because they are vulgar (for many vulgar ones are excellent good), nor for the meanness of the person, but because they are dull and flat; and added new that otherwise would have died.
