I am not sure how to classify this book. A friend gave it to me and it is a lovely edition, red leather cover with gold embossing. The pages are thick paper with letter press print. The book is brief, composed of several sections of proverbs, two parables, and several dreams. It ends with a list of the names of subscribers to this book. It seems antiquated, and I think it would even if I had read it in a modern edition.

"We frequently find men while attempting to ridicule others exhibiting their own ignorance."

"Would women be as silent in most things as they are in telling their ages, men would be far easier, and courts of justice less troubled."
