Description
Excerpt from Classical and Foreign Quotations, Vol. 9: A Polyglot Manual of Historical and Literary Sayings, Noted Passages in Poetry and Prose, Phrases, Proverbs, and Bons Mots, Compiled, Edited, and Told, Wit
IN preparing a new Edition of this Dictionary for the Press, the work of revision has been guided by two main objects: the one, the relieving the book of a multitude of super?uous trivialities the other, the addition of references to those entries that were still lacking in that most essential portion of their literary outfit. As both aims tend to raise directly the value of the work as a standard book of reference in such matters, they will, no doubt, be appreciated by all who read or consult the volume.
