First compiled by John Bartlett, a bookseller in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as a commonplace book of only 258 pages, the original 1855 edition mainly featured selections from the Bible, Shakespeare, and the great English poets. Today, Bartlettās includes more than 20,000 quotes from roughly 4,000 conĀtributors. Spanning centuries of thought and culture, it remains the finest and most popular compendium of quotations ever assembled.
