The Handbook of Quotations by Edith B. Ordway, published by George Sully & Company. This 1913 copyright edition serves as a comprehensive collection of gleanings from English and American poetic literature. The volume features over fourteen hundred quotations from renowned authors such as Shakespeare, Milton, Byron, and Emerson, organized under nearly two hundred subject headings. Bound in a brown cloth hardcover with gilded lettering on the front and spine, this antique reference book provides a window into early 20th-century literary curation. Notable wear is present, including some staining to the cover, foxing on the pages, and a previous owner's name inscribed on the inner flyleaf.
