Everyman's Dictionary of Quotations and Proverbs

Hrdcover. Everyman's Dictionary of Quotations and Proverbs. Slight foxing to edge. Slight scratches to cloth. Rolled spine. Blue cloth with gilt lettering. Containing just over 10,000 quotations and proverbs, this dictionary is to all intents and purposes an entirely new compilation. That, of course, is not to deny its debtr to other dictionaries, including its predecessor in Everyman's Library. But fashions change in quotation as in everything else, and by modern standards the dictionaries of a past generation seem ill-proportioned. It has been the editor's aim to readjust the balance by gicing less space to old-fashioned authors and more to those now popular. 766 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.).
