Guide to the Use of This Book.

Those who consult the Cyclopedia of Practical Quotations will do well to notice the fol- lowing explanations :

The Cyclopedia claims to be a novelty in the abundance of its matter and in that it com- bines the features of the arrangement of other books of the kind, namely : The quotations are grouped as accurately as possible under subjects or headings. The authority for each quotation is given as fully and accurately as possible, and there is virtually a grouping ac- cording to authors, since in the Biographies, after each author's name will be found the number of the pages whereon he is quoted.

The object of the book is not to treat exhaustively of any subject, but to glean whatever is useful and well known upon that subject. Not one line has been added merely to expand the book, but in a few instances quotations have been purposely retained under more than one heading where they might be of actual service.

There are some subdivisions of the book, but practically there are but two parts : the English and the Foreign. Among the English quotations will be found a chapter of Proverbs, and at the end of the Foreign department a chapter of mottoes from the Latin and French. Translations of the foreign quotations are put in the English concordance, which, when properly consulted, is a sure guide to every phrase of prominence. The Foreign department is divided into Latin and the modern tongues, and is believed to be unusually rich in the verbal treasures of each language. All the foreign quotations and mottoes are included in a new concordance which is as complete as the best efforts of the compiler could make it.

As many lovers of the several poets have expressed a desire to know on which pages the quotations of their favorite poets can be found, and as in some names, such as Shakespeare, Tennyson, Byron, etc., a mere list of pages would convey no information whatever, the plan has been adopted of marking those who are largely quoted with a special sign in the index, the same as was done with Shakespeare in the first edition whose * marks 2,000 extracts. The sign for each is designated at the foot of each page of the concordance. The pages where may be found the quotations from authors not so designated will be given after the author's name in the biographical list. We feel assured that this feature will be appreciated.

A great improvement in this work over the previous edition is the tracing of every Shake- spearian quotation, and all others in fact, where possible, to its line in the scene or poem from which it is taken. This involved great labor, but as it included also a verification of each quotation and the rectification of many errors, it was labor well spent. It may not, however, occur to every one that in counting the lines no two editions of Shakespeare will exactly agree, especially in plays in which prose is a dominant feature, as there are no two editions in which the length of the lines is the same. The figures given are at least approximately

correct and will prove of great assistance in finding the context. The number of the line applies to the first in each quotation. The Globe Edition has been the general authority for the text. As far as possible each author's peculiarities of spelling or composition have been respected.

All the Latin quotations have been traced to the exact book and place in the author quoted from. Thisdepartment would make a volume of itself equal in size and value to any other of like character, and is believed to include all the noted sayings of the classic writers in that language.

Special attention is called to the quotations under collective headings, a new feature which much simplifies the work of those seeking quotations in those subjects. They are as follows :

Animals. Flowers. Rivers.

Birds. Insects. Seasons.

Cities. Months. Trees.

Countries. Occupations. '

In consulting this volume it is supposed that each reader has one of two objects : either to find a quotation applicable to some topic under consideration, or to find one of which he has not a clear remembrance and of which he desires to know the exact reading. In the first case he will be naturally assisted by the ^division of the book into chapters under topical headings (see the index of the headings with cross references). If he is writing, for instance, about life or death, love or marriage, he will naturally turn to those headings, but if he is looking for a definite quotation which he partly remembers he will turn to the index, and searching for any prominent word he will be sure to find it; or if he cannot remember the read- ing of the line but knows the author, a reference to the biographies and the pages where that author may be found will give him the line. Bear in mind that the italic letter in the index corresponds with the same letter in the page, thus enabling the searcher to put his finger upon it at once.

It is not to be supposed that all the beauties of everj- author are to be found in any book of quotations. All those that make up the current quotations of the day are supposed to be here and such others as, in the judgment of the compiler, are appropriate to the several headings. Shakespeare's name does not appear in the body of the book, the names of the plays being sufficient to indicate the author.

The book is alphabetically arranged throughout. The authors follow each other alpha- betically under each heading and the quotations under each author, save in the proverbs, where the arrangement is according to alphabetical order of lines, and in the modern lan- guages, where the quotations are grouped in the various tongues, the order being French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Everything possible has been done to facilitate search.

There are no quotations from the Bible in this volume, the editor believing that book to be amply provided for by the many works devoted entirely to it.

Some decent regulated pre-eminence, some preference (not exclusive appropriation) given to birth, is neither unnatural, nor unjust, nor impolitic.

The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends the most to the perpetuation of society itself. It makes our weakness sub- servient to our virtue ; it grafts benevolence even upon avarice. The possession of family wealth and of the distinction which attends hereditary possessions (as most concerned in it, ) are the natural securities for this trans- mission.

ANGLING.

A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire, A winder and barrel, will help thy desire In killing a Pike ; but the forked stick. With a slit and a bladder, — and that other

fine trick. Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a

duck, — Will kill two for one, if you have any luck ; The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile. To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile ; When a Pike suns himselfe and a-frogging

doth go, The two-inched hook is better, I know. Than the ord'nary snaring: but still I must

cry. When the Pike is at home, minde the cookery.

e. Barker — The Art of Angling (Reprint

of 1820 of the 1657 edition).

For angling-rod he took a sturdy oak ; For line, a cable that in storm ne'er broke ; His hook was such as heads the end of pole To pluck down house ere fire consumes it

whole ; This hook was bate<l with a dragon's tail. — And then on rock he stood to bob for whale. /. Sib William Davenant — Britannia

In genial spring, beneath the quivering shade. Where cooling vapors breathe along the mead. The patient fisher takes his silent stand.

My people too were scared with eerie sounds, A footstep, a low throbbing in the walls, A noise of falling weights that never fell, Weird whispers, bells that rang without a

ART.

Now nature is not at variance with art, nor art with nature ; they being both the servants of liLs providence. Art is the perfection of nature. Were the world now as it was the sixth day, there were yet a chaos. Nature hath made one world, and art another. In brief, all things are artificial ; for nature is the art of God.

e. Goldsmith-^ Tftc Traveller. L. 137.

The perfection of an art consists in the em- ployment of a comprehensive system of laws, commensurate to every purpose within its scope, but concealed from the eye of the specta- tor ; and in the pro<luction of effects that seem to flow forth spontaneously, as though uncon- trolled by their influence, and which are equally excellent, whetlier r^arded individu- ally, or in reference to the proposed result.
