Loading... Familiar Quotations (1855)by John Bartlett
None. I have used this book, over the years, countless times. I pick it up for some certain thing and the next thing I know, it's two in the morning and I haven't even noticed! I only wish it had more, more, more! ( )Excellent resource for quotations Enjoyed browsing, useful tool for writers and preparing school presentations, papers. Great musing and journaling stimulus. The index is great for finding quotations by the word you remember (assuming the word is actually in the quote) However, one of my favorite things to do is to peruse the main body of the work which is in chronological order by author. It gives you a flavor of individual authors as well as the style and concerns of different periods of English literature. My best, my oldest friend. Helped me through college and graduate school. Still a faithful and amusing companion -- even when I am not. I love my copy of Bartlett's and wouldn't trade it, even for a newer edition. There's too many notes in the margins. I could never part with it. no reviews | add a review
