Famous quotes containing the words collected and/or editions:

    “A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.”
    —Seventeenth-century English proverb, collected in Outlandish Proverbs, George Herbert (1640)

    “The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
