PREFACE.


In the preface to the Dictionary of Classical Quotations it was stated that a volume of quotations from European sources was in progress, and would shortly be published. As the work progressed, however, the mass of material was found to be too great to include in one volume; it was therefore decided to issue first the present volume, containing quotations from French and Italian sources only, to be followed in due course by a further volume from German, Spanish and other sources.
