Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett

This is John Bartlett  Familiar Quotations, 5th ed. 1868 (1870) taken from Leoyan.com

The fourth edition of "Familiar Quotations" was published in 1863. The present edition embodies the results of the later researches of its editors, besides the contributions of various friends, and includes many quotations which have long been waiting a favorable verdict on the all-important question of familiarity. A few changes have been made in the arrangement, and the citations from Shakespeare have been adapted to the principal modern editions. The former edition has been freshly com­pared with the originals, and such errors re­moved as the revision has disclosed.
