_Definition of a Proverb_ (Vol. viii., p. 243.)--C. M. INGLEBY inquires the
source of the following definition of proverb, viz. "The wisdom of many,
and the wit of one."
"To Lord John Russell are we indebted for that admirable definition of
a proverb: 'The wisdom,' &c."--See Notes to Rogers's _Italy_, 1848.
The date is added since, in an edition of 1842; this remark makes no part
of the note on the line, "If but a sinew vibrate," &c.
