Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Book of Familiar Quotations: Being a Collection of Popular Extracts and Aphorisms From the Works of the Best Authors
In preparing this volume for the press, a great deal of research has of necessity been incurred, and for the facilities afforded him for reference by several gentle men to whom he has applied, the Compiler desires to tender his sincere acknowledgments. He especially desires to record the attention he has received from Mr. Smiles, the obliging librarian of the Manchester Free Library, and from Mr. Perris of the Lyceum Library, Liverpool. He also has to recognize the courtesy of Mr. Murray in placing some Copyright portions of Lord Byron's works at his disposal. Mr. Grocott, of Liverpool, too, himself the author of a useful volume of Quotations, is thanked for some information which he.

Excerpt from The Book of Familiar Quotations: Being a Collection of Popular Extracts and Aphorisms From the Works of the Best Authors
The First Edition of the "Book of Familiar Quotations" was published in 1852, and was out of print in the space of a few months. The second edition was also rapidly exhausted. It is now reprinted in a more extended form, and it is hoped that its utility is increased in proportion to its enlargement. A comprehensive Index is appended, so that full facility for reference is afforded. The exact place in each author from whose works the extracts are made, is indicated (except where the work itself is so brief as to render this needless), so that the reader will be able, without loss of time, to make reference to the context, and thus the faithfulness of the Compiler can be easily tested. That a book of this sort was needed, is evinced by the numerous errors in quoting constantly made by orators on the platform and in the pulpit, as well as by persons in ordinary conversation, and by the press writers of the day.
