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.

This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Quotations From Various Authors in Ancient and Modern Languages: With English Translations Having occasionally employed myself, as a matter of amusement, in making a collection of Quotations from various authors, and in different languages; a collection originally intended by me, as a present to a juvenile relation, who was about to enter into one of the learned professions; and having accidentally, after my own work had approached near to its consummation, met with a Dictionary of Quotations, compiled by D. E. Macdonnell, Esq. of the Inner Temple, a work which exhibits in a very favourable point of view the literary attainments and industrious research of that very learned gentleman; the idea occurred to me (though I had never before thought of offering to public notice the gleanings which I had gathered together) that the value of his Dictionary would be enhanced, and its utility be rendered more extensive, by the incorporation with it of my collection, on the same plan which Mr. Macdonnell had, with so much judgment, adopted; and on consulting a literary friend, in whose opinion I place much confidence, he gave me the encouragement of his most unqualified approbation of my design, and of his decided belief as to the general usefulness of such an augmented compilation. He, however, at the same time suggested the propriety of studiously avoiding the use of the same translations given by Mr. Macdonnell, as my availing myself of the productions of his pen, without acknowledging the fact, might be considered as an act of plagiarism, and an encroachment on his property.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Quotations From the English Poets Waller, Dryden, Addison, Prior, Gay, Pope, Swift, Thomson, and a great many others who flourished within his time; and these were precisely the poets we most cared to cultivate. In later years, but too late for my youthful purposes, Messrs. Whittaker brought out a Dictionary of Quotations from the British Poets, in 3 vols. Post 8vc., one for Shakespeare in 1823, another for Blank Verse in 1824, and the third for Rhyme in 1825, all anonymous, but known to be by Wm. Kingdom. This work, which subsequently became my property, is a very careful and excellent compilation, and has been largely used by subsequent compilers, English and American, especially the latter, without in any instance, as far as I can discover, having been acknowledged or even mentioned by them.

Download or read book A Dictionary of Quotations From English and American Poets written by Anna Lydia Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Quotations From English and American Poets: Based Upon Bohn's Edition; Revised, Corrected, and Enlarged; Twelve Hundred Quotations Added From American Authors I have examined this Dictionary of Poetical Quotations carefully, and, bearing in mind the multitude of diffi culties which the making of it, I can hon estly say that, in m have been triumphed over by the maker. At first sight, it may seem easy to compile such a work. One has but to go through any dictionary of the language, and select as many of the words which are things as are likely to have inspired the poets, and then pro oecd to illustrate these words with extracts from the poets, - the expression, words which are things, covering what is felt as well as what is seen, - whatever comes home to the business and bosoms of men, as well as whatever surrounds them in the material universe. This seems easy, I say, but a little reflection will show that it involves labor: not merely of the hand in transcription of the extracts to be used, but of the mind in determining what extracts should be used; the labor of reading scores of works similar to the one con templated, and of devising improvements for them and the labor of reading hundreds of other works, in order to pro cure the materials for these improvements. In old Burton's time (the thought is his, not mine), men made books as apoth ecaries made their medicines, -by pouring out of one bottle into another; but this is no longer possible, for reading has become so general that plagiarism is readily detected, and criticism so outspoken that would - be plagiarists are afraid. If books have not entirely ceased to be drugs in the market, as publishers sometimes complain, it is not because they are still compounded after the old recipes, for every apothecary -i mean every bookmaker - is supplied With essences and flavors and tinctures of his own.
