  • The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations.TXT
    The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations PREFACE Preface =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is a completely new dictionary, containing about 5,000 quotations. What is a "quotation"? It is a saying or piece of writing that strikes people as so true or memorable that they quote it (or allude to it) in speech or writing. Often they will quote it directly, introducing it with a phrase like "As ---- says" but equally often they will assume that the reader or listener already knows the quotation, and they will simply allude to it without mentioning its source (as in the headline "A ros‚ is a ros‚ is a ros‚," referring obliquely to a line by Gertrude Stein). This dictionary has been compiled from extensive evidence of the quotations that are actually used in this way. The dictionary includes the commonest quotations which were found in a collection of more than 200,000 citations assembled by combing books, magazines, and newspapers. For example, our collections contained more than thirty examples each for Edward Heath's "unacceptable face of capitalism" and Marshal McLuhan's "The medium is the message," so both these quotations had to be included. As a result, this book is not--like many quotations dictionaries--a subjective anthology of the editor's favourite quotations, but an objective selection of the quotations which are most widely known and used. Popularity and familiarity are the main criteria for inclusion, although no reader is likely to be familiar with all the quotations in this dictionary. The book can be used for reference or for browsing: to trace the source of a particular quotation or to find an appropriate saying for a special need.

TORONTO AN INTRODUCTION TO POETRY BY JAY B. HUBBELL, PH.D. AND JOHN O. BEATY, Pn.D. PROFESSORS OF ENGLISH IN SOUTHERN1 METHODIST UNIVERSITY Sot* THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1924 All rights reserved PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA COPYRIGHT, 1922, BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY. Set up and electrotypcd. Published September, 1922. Reprinted January, July, 1923. PR To W. P. TRENT AND A. H. THORNDIKE PREFACE An Introduction to Poetry is intended for the college freshman or sophomore as well as for the general reader. Its chief aims are two: first, to offer in a natural and interesting manner the technical apparatus, the criticism, and the examples needed for a good elementary knowledge of English poetry; second, to offer a convenient oppor- tunity for a comparison of the new and the older English and American poets. The twelve chapters approach poetry from various angles type, meter, subject, and period. Each chapter includes enough poems to illustrate well the points brought out in the text. The explanations of poetic tech- nique are, we believe, sufficiently full, and are so intro- duced as to be neither difficult nor tedious. General criticism is provided at appropriate places, and many points of possible difficulty or exceptional interest are explained not in foot-notes, but in the text. We have arranged poems in such groups that the reader is able to criticize for himself; and we have, as far as possible, made the transition from poem to poem easy and continuous.

CHICAGO IN SEVEN DAYS by JOHN DRURY AUTHOB OP "ARCLIGHT DUSKS' With Five Sectional Maps NEW YORK ROBERT M. McBRIDE & COMPANY 1928 COPYRIGHT, 1928, BY ROBERT M. McBRIDE & COMPANY Published, May, 1928 CHICAGO IN SEVEN DAYS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO M. B. N. NOTE The reader's attention is called to the fact that the complexion of Chicago's face is constantly chang- ing. The city is growing by leaps and bounds. New buildings and institutions are rising every day out of what were once ancient, and oftentimes his- toric, structures. And so, the author has done his best to capture the Chicago of the present day, indi- cating wherever possible any proposed changes. The author also wishes to thank the editors of the Chicago Daily News for permission to embody in this book the main points of his series of descrip- tive articles, entitled "Byways of the City," which appeared in the Midweek Feature Section of that newspaper. Furthermore, notice is hereby given that the names of shops, restaurants, and other commercial establishments represent the author's personal pref- erence only.
