12mo, pp. viii, 280. Near-contemporary half calf, spine divided by gilt rules and lettered direct in gilt, other compartments tooled centrally in blind. Somewhat toned and spotted, some scattered foxing and soiling, flyleaves sometime excised. Rather rubbed, some wear to edges.
A scarce Scottish reprint of two eighteenth-century collections of proverbs. Fuller's was first published in 1732 under the title Gnomologia, while the small collection of Ramsay's Scots proverbs is edited from a 1739 collection published by him. Library Hub records just three copies, at St Andrews, NLS, and Manchester Public Libraries.
