cloth. 6 x 9 inches. cloth. 256 pages. First edition. John Russell Bartlett, a major American bibliographer and artist of the Southwest, had a remarkably multi-faceted career.

Bartletts Dictionary of Americanisms saw three editions in the nineteenth century, and was again reprinted in 2000. His Personal Narrative about his years on the Boundary commission is a classic document of Western Americana. Jerry Mueller has annotated and amplified Bartletts original memoir, adding 30 illustrations.

We use quotations as passwords & secret handshakes, socially strategic signals that say, 'I understand you. We speak the same language.'"-From the Preface by Justin Kaplan. First published in 1855 as a small booklet containing a mere 258 pp of quotes by 169 authors, "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" is here completely revised & updated for the 16th Ed. by noted Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Justin Kaplan, giving the reader a vast panorama of the world from the ancient Egyptians to the latest in cinema, from the inspirational to the hilarious. In addition to John Bartlett's original criterion that quotations be "household words", Mr. Kaplan has chosen quotes for their "literary power, intellectual & historical significance, originality, & timeliness". Unrivaled as the classic indispensable reference, Bartlett's" reflects contemporary culture, containing many non-traditional sources for quotations w/ new additions representing television, movies, politics, pop & rock music, advertising slogans, & even street slang. The 16th Ed. contains over 20,000 quotations, representing 2,550 authors, 340 of whom are new to Bartlett''s. Although Shakespeare & the Bible are still the most heavily quoted sources, this edition casts a wider net than its predecessors, broadening Bartlett's cultural base w/ newcomers including Russell Baker, Leonard Bernstein, Mel Brooks, Noam Chomsky, Annie Dillard, Elvis, M.F.K. Fisher, Stephen Hawking, Milan Kundera, John Lennon, Norman Mailer, Nelson Mandela, Salman Rushdie, Dr. Seuss, Sun-Tsu, the Talmud, Alice Walker, & Elie Wiesel, & a host of others. W/ the assistance of scholars & the Little, Brown editorial staff, Mr. Kaplan closely examined Bartlett's, considerably revising the general text & thoroughly editing the footnotes. In the celebrated Bartlett's tradition, authors are arranged chronologically, thus illuminating the influences & ideas surrounding any given quotation. The general index of more than 600 pages is an invaluable resource for locating quotations by keywords & has been painstakingly edited for accuracy & completeness. Whether for sheer pleasure or literary pursuit, for inspiration or research, this edition of Bartlett's provides a superb map through our culture & history. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine one-volume complete Shakespeare for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee.
