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.
