PREFACE
To Amalthsea, the nurse of his infancy, Zeus gave a magic horn of plenty, which by was over-brimming no matter what was taken from it This NEW EDITION of a standard work, like the famous cornucopia, contains a freshened and replenished store. In the garnering of this rich harvest of fruits culled from the vast fields of literature, tribute has been taken from every tree in our literary Eden, so that the reader may share in common with his fellow creatures, not only the kindly fruits of the earth, but also the golden apples Smce divine discontent is plucked from the tree of the knowledge of good and of evil wholesome, we may expect to find some apples of discord as well as of love, the apples of and a sea fruit and of modicum of dead Sodom Cam, Something there will be of distasteful growth, but the weed's plain heart holds a secret though 'tis shallow rooted. Many a way side flower in a crannied nook has earned a message to an humble heart, and because its bloom has attracted public attention, it warrants a place among the choicer blossoms in

of modern writers speakers, no other includes such a record of modern war phrases, songs and poems, nowhere else are kindred thoughts and expressions so closely connected

by cross references that they may be compared, and in no other collection of quotations have the nerves and arteries of the contents been laid open so plainly through so compre hensive and complete a concordance Topics have been chosen for their general character, so that similar ideas might not be too widely separated, which is a fault of too detailed subdivision The compiler takes comfort in the words of Cotton Mather "Reader, Carthagena was of the mind that unto those three things which the ancients held to be impossible, there It seems the hands of Briareus should be added this fourth, to find a book without Erratas and the eyes of Argus will not prevent them " Whatever degree this work has attained in the achievement of the impossible, it owes to LEANDER J DEBEKKEH, the Briareus and Argus of the printed page and its literary contents Appreciation and gratitude are but feebly expressed in this tribute to his services Acknowledgment is due to MESSRS HABPER & BBOS for permission to use the lines written by Peter Newell found on pages 280 and 538.

PLAN OF THE BOOK, AND DIRECTIONS FOR USING IT


The reader i& reminded that this wort is a book of literary gems selected with a view to their usefulness in suggesting idea*, for practical application in literary composition and not a mere collection of familiar quotations to serve as a remembrancer to such as
familiar in our

wish to refresh their memories Therefore, quotations drawn from standard authors and mouths as household words, Lave not been included because concordances of the works of these authors already exist Every student of Shakespeare should know of the concordances to Shakespeare, "Wordsworth, and other poets

may

The quotations are arranged under topics according to their general meaning, sense, or idea The topics are in alphabetical order3 as are the authors under the topics An Index to Topics, with cross reference to kindred ones, will be found on page xi
The Concordance at the end of the book is a word-index of zhe text of each quotation Identifying words are generously indexed, so that the lines may be traced through several channels in case the memory fails in exact reading of the context is to
Enough
identify the hues

After each excerpt the page and numerical order on the page

is

given noted

The Biographical Index is a record of men and women of all ages and nationalities whose words, thoughts, and visions have been passed along into the minds and speech of the Under each author's full name is given his nationality, dates of birth and death people (L for living), also a brief character sketch, and the numbers of the pages whereon his lines appear

To find an appropriate quotation for a definite subject, turn to a topic dealing with such an idea, and consult the Topical Index for related headings
For the exact text of a quotation, or its authority, consult the Concordance When exact words are not remembered try synonymous ones, or topics on such If the subjects author alone is remembered, consult the Biographical Index When a topic does not give all that may be sought on a subject, consult the Concordance as quotations may contain^ as a whole, ideas which have placed them elsewhere

When quotations from a special author only are desired, consult the Biographical Index where pages are given on which are found that author's lines When modern
dates given of birth

authors are wanted, choose from the Biographical Index, according to and death

To

find priority of authorship, consult Biographical lades for dates of authors' birth

and death

The plays and poems of Shakespeare and the books of the Bible are given without the names of the authors

italics

Full names of well-known authors are often omitted Popular abbreviations and pen-names are given when established as better known to the public (Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, George Eliot, Artemus Ward ) The Bio graphical Index supplies full names and has ample cross references

heard a Stock-dove sing or say His homely tale, this very day, His voice was buried among trees. Yet to be come at by the breeze He did not cease, but cooed and cooed And somewhat pensively he wooed He sang of love, with quiet blending, Slow to begin, and never ending, Of serious faith, and inward glee, That was the song, the song for me'

Janus was invoked at the commencement of most actions, even in the worship of the other gods the votary began by offering wine and incense to Janus The first month in the year was named from him, and under the title of Matutmus he was icgarded as the opener of the day Hence he had charge of the gates of Heaven, and hence, too, all gates, Januos, were called after him, and supposed to be under his care Hence, perhaps, it was, that he was represented with a staff and key, and that he was named the Opener (Patulaus), and the Shutter (Clusius)

It was the cooling hour, just when the rounded Red sun sinks down behind the azure hill, Which then seems as if the whole earth is bounded, Circling all nature, hush'd, and dim, and still. With the far mountain-crescent half surrounded On one side, and the deep sea calm and chill Upon the other, and the rosy sky With one star sparkling through it like an eye BYRON Don Juan Canto II St 183

I certainly think that the best book in the world would owe the most to a good index, and the worst book, if it had but a single good thought in it, might be kept alive by it HORACE BINNET To S Austin

So essential did I consider an index to be to every book, that I proposed to bring a bill into Parliament to deprive an author who publishes a book without an index of
the privilege of copyright, and, moreover, to subject him for his offense to a pecuniary penalty

NOTE The indexed word is usually found in the phrase, indicated by its initial letter When not found there it is to be understood that the phrase begins with the indexed word
In general old spelling is not followed, but all words will be found under the correct form This is the case with dialect, save when the spelling is so well known that the searcher would otherwise be misled As the space allowed is often not adequate for a full phrase, unimportant words are omitted in order to convey the idea, although no word is changed The small black-faced figures that follow the page numbers indicate the numerical order of the quotation on the page.
