Summary "Dictionary of Quotations from Ancient and Modern, English and Foreign Sources" by the Rev. James Wood is a collection of notable quotations compiled in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work includes phrases, maxims, proverbs, definitions, and aphorisms that pertain to various subjects, such as life, literature, science, and morality. The collection aims to provide readers with insight and wisdom gathered from a wide range of ancient and modern thought. At the start of the text, the editor shares his purpose for creating this work, emphasizing the need for a more extensive compilation of quotations that addresses contemporary interests. He explains that while there are many excellent collections available, this one seeks to encompass a broader array of wisdom, especially from modern writings that reflect current societal concerns. The preface also outlines the book's organization, which is alphabetical rather than topical, and establishes the Editor's intention to present meaningful insights that are thought-provoking and relevant to the reader's life.
