Description

Most Comprehensive Origins of Clichés, Proverbs and Figurative Expressions Index for All Volumes was specifically compiled to tie together all three volumes of this unique work, making it an easily referenced work with over 4,100 entries which may be used by any person desiring to discover the most accurate information available on the meanings and origins of idiomatic English, not only in America, but in all countries in which English is the primary language. Not only does this study embrace figurative speech, but contains many foreign phrases which have been integrated into our everyday conversation and reading. It also has proverbs and sayings which predate English, originally being in Hebrew, Latin, and other tongues, some of which have existed for thousands of years. Many expressions have been incorrectly attributed by other sources. While no work is perfect, these books have been meticulously researched, and some updated as new information became available. The Original Volume has found its way into public, school and university libraries, and has received much praise from professors, authors, clergymen and newspaper journalists.
