A Collection of Familiar Quotations - Softcover

Copiously quoted by nineteenth-century writers and speakers, avidly consulted by students and teachers alike, has soon become a household classic, taking its place beside the family Bible in every cultivated American home.

Since the "Familiar Quotations" has gone through many editions, seen many revisions. Now, for the first time, this printing restores to circulation the original first edition, just as John Bartlett himself arranged it.

With time's added perspective, today's readers will find it an even more enchanting reflection of American culture than did their enthusiastic ancestors.
