Title: Dictionary of Proverbs
City: London
Date: 1917
Total items: 48
Page images and pictures from Nathan Bailey’s 1721 Dictionary of Proverbs.
This is the Table of contents; there is also a transcription with the definitions and explanations. I used a 1917 edition from Yale University and the Oxford University Press, which is now out of copyright.
I also have Nathan Bailey’s Canting Dictionary online.
