Description: Here is the book's enormous subtitle: Including the Following Languages: English, Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, Persian, Italian, German, Chinese, Hebrew, and Others, Under One Alphabetical Arrangement; with a Complete Concordance to the Quotations, Indexes of the Authors Quoted and Topical Indexes to Subjects, with Cross References. As the subtitle explains, quotations are included from many languages: English, Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, Persian, Italian, German, Chinese, Hebrew and others. At over a thousand pages long, there are indeed quite a few quotations in here. The quotations are organized alphabetically by topics with all the languages mixed together, along with various indexes, including author indexes and subject indexes. It's a fun book to browse through.
