“It is as provokingly short as it is exquisitely beautiful.”—Boston Recorder.
“What a blessed thing is a sunny spirit, ever cheerful and happy, and ever diffusing joy over all around it. Such a spirit is the Author of “Sunny Side.” She comes to us again as a living angel—in good omen over the right shoulder. We commend it to all mothers, and especially to all Mrs. Jellabys.”—Independent.

A Collection of the Proverbs of all Nations. Compared, Explained, and Illustrated. By Walter B. Kelly. 12mo. $1.25
“This is one of those books, like Roget’s Thesaurus, Haydn’s Dictionary of Dates, and Lippincott’s Pronouncing Gazetteer, which contains a vast amount of information in a very small space—books that a writer cannot afford to be without, for they contain information that by days of research in libraries one would hardly be able to obtain. This collection contains all the proverbs which are familiar in all nations. They are classified under various heads, such as Women, Love, Marriage, Home, Self-conceit, Ingratitude, and so on. There is also a full index, which enables one at once to find any particular proverb. Another excellent feature is, that when a proverb is taken from another language, not only the English, but the original is given. The book is replete with good things. It supplies a want that many a one has felt—a want that no dictionary, gazetteer, or book of quotations now supplies.”—College Courant.
“It is not possible, perhaps, to collect the proverbial wisdom of the world in any more attractive form than this of Mr. Kelly’s. . . . . . As a book for the library, an armory where a writer or a speaker may be armed and equipped in a single line; as a book for the centre-table, something that you can read a page or twenty pages of, have your reading cut short anywhere, and still be complete and intensely interesting besides,—as a book for either of these purposes, the “Proverbs of all Nations” will be found very acceptable. Certain it is, at least, that “you may go farther and fare worse.””—Christian Freeman.
