Sonnenschein’s Standard Books of Reference

ENGLISH QUOTATIONS

BY

COLONEL PHILIP HUGH DALBIAC

=Third Edition. Small Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d.=

“The most extensive Dictionary of Quotations yet supplied, and, thanks to its arrangement and its Indexes to Authors and Words, it simplifies greatly the task of reference.”—_Notes and Queries._

“No book of English Quotations can be at all compared to the present, either in fulness or in accuracy.... If the succeeding volumes in any degree reach the high level of excellence and of accuracy to be found in the present work, Colonel Dalbiac and his fellow-writer will have accomplished an invaluable work.”—_Morning Post._

“A mine of curious inquiry.... A very industrious and entertaining companion.”—_Spectator._

“Up to date and admirably explicit in the matter of references.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

“The quotations have been selected with excellent judgment, and they are given with remarkable accuracy; indeed, in all respects the book is the best of the kind that I have seen.”—_Truth._

“Decidedly a work to possess.”—_Publishers’ Circular._

“As near an approach to the ideal work as one might wish for.”—_Nottingham Express._

“Remarkably comprehensive.”—_Daily Telegraph._

“An improvement upon Bartlett’s and other well-known works.”—_Times._

“A very useful book, which will furnish valuable services to every teacher and friend of English.”—_Anglia_ (_translated_).

“The fulness and accuracy of its references make it worthy of a place in every library where scholarship is valued.”—_Scotsman._

“A work which must have entailed a vast amount of patient and intelligent labour, and which, in addition to the intrinsic interest which it possesses, cannot fail to be of service to a very wide section of the cultured public.”—_Glasgow Herald._

“This Dictionary of Quotations is a distinct advance on all its predecessors in that it gives the fullest possible reference to chapter and verse for each quotation.”—_Journal of Education._

“An excellent collection in prose and verse. There is nothing superfluous in the quotations; there are few quotations unworthy of their place, and really obvious omissions are few in number.”—_Yorkshire Post._

“The result is a handsome volume of 528 pages, which will probably displace many other and older compilations.”—_Educational Review._

CLASSICAL QUOTATIONS

BY

T. B. HARBOTTLE

=Second Edition. Small Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d.=

“In point of execution and general get-up the volume leaves little to be desired.”—_Bristol Times._

“The work is far and away the very best of its kind for two reasons. It is the most comprehensive and the most accurate of all such works, and, what is more, it often brings the reader back from a stereotyped, erroneous form of the quotation to its correct and original form.”—_Morning Post._

“The work appears to us altogether admirable in method and execution.”—_University Correspondent._

“A perusal of Mr Harbottle’s book has afforded us unwonted pleasure, and we shall give it a place at our elbow for future use.”—_Literary World._

“Invaluable to authors and readers.”—_Educational Review._

“A more comprehensive collection than any we have seen.”—_Athenæum._

“The book is well done.”—_Times._

“Is marked by praiseworthy fulness of material and neatness of arrangement.”—_World._

“The scholar is to be congratulated upon the appearance of this second volume. It will greatly facilitate the task of research, and forms an indispensable portion of the student’s library. He that hath but few books is bound to have this.”—_Notes and Queries._

“The most complete, the most handy, and the most correctly-printed book of its kind.”—_Glasgow Herald._

“Remarkably complete, accuracy has been well studied.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._

“The most complete book of its kind yet published.”—_Alma Mater._

FRENCH AND ITALIAN QUOTATIONS

BY

COLONEL PHILIP HUGH DALBIAC AND T. B. HARBOTTLE

=Small Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d.=

“A very interesting and valuable book. The best informed of us may learn something, probably a good deal, from it.”—_Spectator._

“It provides for a ‘felt want.’”—_Literature._

“The compilation has been made with every care, and the volume could not but enrich any reference library.”—_Scotsman._

“The range is wide and the translations are wide, and in some cases even scholarly.”—_Saturday Review._

“Admirably rich in both Italian and French Quotations.”—_Notes and Queries._

“The accuracy distinguishing previous numbers of this series is also noticeable here.”—_Bookseller._

“The collection is extensive, and the book will certainly be found very useful.”—_Liverpool Post._

Transcriber’s Note

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page, and line in the original. The following issues should be noted, along with the resolutions.

The phrase ‘line-of-battle ships’ is sometimes printed without hyphenation, and occasionally as ‘line-of-battleships’. Where ‘line-of’ is not employed, the word is always ‘battleships’. To assist searches, the hyphenated version ‘line-of-battle ships’ is applied here.

End-of-line hyphens are sometimes missing. It is presumed they have not survived in the text, and were handled as though present.

Proper place names are sometimes consistently misspelled and were left as printed: ‘Guil[d]ford Court House’, ‘Spot[t]sylvania’.

The entry for the 1039 battle of Zendecan contains references to ‘Moghrul Beg’ of the Seljuks, and ‘Masrud’, sultan of Ghuzni. The index refers to the former as ‘Mogrul Bey’, ‘Bey’ being a variant of ‘Beg’. However, separate historical texts consistently have the Seljuk ruler as ‘Toghrul’. The text has been retained, but the issue noted.

On p. 143, the title of the article for ‘Lunceña’ is an obvious error for ‘Lucena’, which is supported by other sources and also falls correctly in the alphabetic order of the Dictionary.
