About The Book: F. Edward Hulme’s *Proverb Lore* (1902) explores the study and enduring power of proverbs across cultures and ages. He begins by examining the elusive nature of proverbs—their brevity, figurativeness, and rhetorical force—and notes that their value lies in universal truths rather than novelty. Drawing from diverse sources, Hulme illustrates how similar ideas recur worldwide despite linguistic differences, showing that proverbs encapsulate shared human wisdom. He discusses their historical persistence, classificatory challenges, and stylistic traits like rhyme, alliteration, and metaphor. About The Author: Frederick Edward Hulme (1841–1909) was an English teacher, artist, and amateur botanist best known for his richly illustrated botanical works. He served as Professor of Freehand and Geometrical Drawing at King's College London from 1886. His most celebrated publication, *Familiar Wild Flowers* (1878–1905), spanned nine volumes. Hulme authored numerous other works on botany, nature, folklore, heraldry, and cryptography, including *Bards & Blossoms*, *Natural History, Lore and Legend*, and *The History, Principles and Practice of Heraldry*.
