K.L. H. Criticism of our contemporaries is not criticism, it is conversation Credited to LEMAITBE BY BRANDER MATTHEWS, see New York T^mes, April 2, 1922 The pleasure of public opinion is like the pressure of the atmosphere, you can't see it — but, all the same it is sixteen pounds to the square inch LOWELL — In an interview with JTJI^IAN HAW THORNE, see article by BRANDHB MATTHEWS in New York Times, April 2, 1022 PREFACE To Amalthsea, the nurse of his infancy, Zeus gave a magic horn of plenty, which by his grace 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 plucked from the tree of the knowledge of good and of evil Smce divine discontent is wholesome, we may expect to find some apples of discord as well as of love, the apples of Sodom and of Cam, and a modicum of dead sea fruit 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 this horn of plenty filled for all sorts and conditions of men The effort of the compiler has been to make the collection the most complete that has ever been gathered within the covers of a book There baa been provided "Fruit of all lands, in coat Hough, or smooth rind, or bearded husk, or shell " of which Milton sang in Paradise Lost In seeking enrichment of his own ideas, a speaker or writer IB more concerned with the flavor and odor of the flower or fruit than -with its progenitor, therefore the com piler, in gathering and preserving the "wisdom of the wise and experience of the ages," labels each specimen according to its quality (Topical arrangement) rather than source (Author arrangement) The latter need is amply met by a biographical index wherein authors are paged. Thus like is with like, and an index to topics, with cross references, ImVa up combinations of relating attraction The phrases which are "the parole of literary men the world over," form the basic value of the work The compiler's blue pencil has hesitated over the prolific output of the "moderns, " for public taste is fickle and what is popular to-day is padding to-morrow In these stirring tunes the press has teemed with utterances of prominent people, but records are inaccurate and unreliable, as has been tested through personal letters Locke states* "He that has but ever so little examined the citations of writers cannot doubt how little credit the quotations deserve where the originals are wanting, and conse quently, how much less quotations of quotations can be rebed on " Many omissions may be accounted for ty the fact that men of action often prefer the gold of silence to the speech of silver, but on -the whole, the Biographical Index is a Who's Who of authors of all tunes It has not been easy to follow Dr Routh's advice, "always to verify your references," for editions, texts and authorities differ At times only a hint of an authority has been available, but rather than lose an item of value it has been deemed best to retain a meager suggestion in hope of future discovery It may be claimed for this work, without fear of contradiction, that no other of its land contains so full an array of material under topics; none with such a representation vffl PREFACE of modern writers and 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 should be added this fourth, to find a book without Erratas It seems the hands of Briareus and the eyes of Argus will not prevent them " Whatever degree this work has attained in the achievement of the impossible, it owes to MR 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. KJLTB LOUISE ROBERTS 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 may wish to refresh their memories Therefore, quotations drawn from standard authors and familiar in our 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 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 Enough of the context is given to identify the hues After each excerpt the page and numerical order on the page is 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 people Under each author's full name is given his nationality, dates of birth and death (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 subjects If the 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 authors are wanted, choose from the Biographical Index, according to dates given of birth 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 m italics without the names of the authors 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 TOPICAL WITH CROSS-REFERENCES Abhorrence, 1 Distrust Enemy Hatred Ability, 1 Action Character Genius Power Strength Talents Absence, 2 Banishment Farewell Meeting Memory Parting Acacia, 3 Accident, 3 Adventure Chance Danger Destiny Pate Perils Acting (the Stage), 4 lafe Oratory World Action, 6 Deeds Labor Work Admiration, 9 Applause Fame Praise Vanity Adventure, 9 Accident Audacity Chance Daring Life Opportunity Romance Soldiers War Adversity, 9 Affliction Qnef Misery Misfortune Buffering Trials Trouble Woe Advice, 10 Prudence Teaching Aeronautics, 11 Navigation Affectation, 11 Appearance Foppery Simplicity Vanity Affection, 11 Fnends Friendship Love Sympathy Affliction, 12 Ad~v ersity Gnef Loss Misery Misfortune Sickness Sorrow- Suffering Trials Alton (River), 12 Age, 12 Antiquity Decay Past Time Agriculture, 18 Countries, Country Life Fruits Garden Harvest Nature Airships, see Aeronautics Albatross, 19 Alchemy, 19 Gold Science Almond, 19 Alph (Eaver), 19 Amaranth, 19 Amaryllis, 20 Ambition, 2O Applause Desire Fame Glory Reputation Success America, 21 Democracy Emigration Equality Flag Patriotism Politics Baght, Bights Slavery Statesmanship War World Peace Amusements, 23 Angling Boating Cards Chase The Dancing Festivities Gambling Holidays Sport Ancestry, 23 Age Antiquity Gentlemen Inheritance Posterity Anemone, 26 Angels, 26 Apparitions Heaven Influence Spirit, Spirits Visions Anger, 27 Hatred Passion Revenge Scorn Angling, 28 Fish Sport Animals, 30 Ant, 30 Anticipation, 30 Desire Expectation.
