Page:A classified collection of Tamil proverbs (IA classifiedcollec00jensiala).pdf/8



The edition of proverbs brought out by the Rev. Mr. Jensen is decidedly an improvement upon its predecessors. Its classification under appropriate heads gives it a superior aspect, facilitating one to lay his hand on what he wants which he cannot do in a collection simply alphabetically arranged, the advantage of which is also combined in the edition by the index of the initial words.

Notwithstanding that there are slight errors of grammar and spelling, which a European compiler cannot but fall into, the book, I believe, will be of great use to both the Tamilians and foreigners.
