I've found the Webster's Dictionary of Quotations (Ward, Lock & Co / nd - prob 1910?) in the Lisbon Book Fair for 5€ a while ago.
That was a fair deal.
To be honest, I've learned more from that five-coin book than a twenty-five thousand urukai boring degree.
Truth: it's mostly driven for the British. Inasmuch it pretends to be a worldly reference dictionary, it lacks solid quotes from american, german, french, spanish and portuguese literature, which probably should have been comprised in the time gap of that investigation.
here's a gem:
"Of all the plagues, the greatest is untold / the book-learned wife in Greek and Latin bold."
- Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, II-1.
LOL. j/k.
