Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Quotations (English) As it would have been impossible to have included in a single volume a complete list of well-known quotations and sayings from the earliest historic times to the present day, this \work has been divided into Parts, the present volume containing quotations from only English and American Authors, translations being carefully excluded; I have, however, made, an exception in the case of the English Bible. The second volume, edited by Mr. T. B. Harbottle, which is now nearly ready for press, will contain quotations from only Greek and Latin writers; and it is hoped, if the success of these two Parts warrants it, to complete the work with a volume dealing with modern Continental writers.
