Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, edited by John Bartlett



Project Gutenberg I | Project Gutenberg II

A collection of familiar phrases that have become woven into familiar English usage, traced to their sources in the Bible, Shakespeare, and the works of dozens more poets and writers. There are two different editions of this book available at Project Gutenberg: one that seems to be the original edition, and then the ninth edition, published in 1905. A free version is not currently available at Amazon, though there are several inexpensive ones.
