John Bartlett was the author of “Familiar
Quotations” which is now available
online at www.bartleby.com in one of the earlier
editions. Bartlett died in 1905 and his book has continued to be revised and is still in use. The 16th edition was published in 1992.
Here is a
quote from Bartlett himself; “I have gathered a
posie of other men’s flowers, and nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own”
