Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Familiar Words: An Index Verborum or Quotation Handbook, With Parallel Passages, or Phrases Which Have Become Embedded in Our English Tongue The third edition of "Familiar Words" has been long demanded, and, owing to the compilers illness, long in preparation. It is trusted that the book has not lost thereby, since day by day some familiar phrase, to be traced only in the course of varied reading, has been found and added to an already extensive collection. Every lover of literature will appreciate the labour of collection, and the delicacy of the task of selecting quotations that are really part of our common tongue, and not mere citations, however beautiful, from poets and prose writers. This has been carefully kept in mind, and parallel passages and originals or echoes of phrases so valuable to students, sought for and appended. The hints of critics have been taken, improvements everywhere adopted, but the original form of alphabetical subject quotation adhered to, as, although troublesome and much more expensive as regards printing, it was thought more suggestive and pleasant to scholars than the mere presentation of a mottled slice of each author. A supplement with some thousand quotations has been added, and these will be found, whether from Poet, Statesman, or Divine, to be "familiar words."
