QR code
"Familiar Quotations" by John Bartlett is a reference work first published in 1855. Born from Bartlett's commonplace book while running a Cambridge bookstore, this collection organizes quotations by author chronologically rather than by subject. Now in its nineteenth edition, it has evolved from 258 pages featuring 169 authors to a comprehensive compilation that sparked debates about balancing literary classics with contemporary culture. The book remains America's longest-lived and most widely distributed quotation
collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
