Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Index to Familiar Quotations Selected Principally From British Authors: With Parallel Passages From Various Writers Ancient and Modern
The reference to the chapter, act, scene, book, and number of the line of each quotation, was given in Murray's Handbook of Familiar Quotations, and in Whitaker's Book of Familiar Quotations, and in my own, all which were contemporaneously issued in the early part of the year 1854; and to us credit is due for that improvement. The present volume contains upwards of six thousand four hundred quotations and parallel passages.
