The Book of Familiar Quotations: being a collection of popular extracts and aphorisms, selected from the works of the best authors. [By L. C. Gent
A compilation of popular quotations and aphorisms drawn from standard authors, credited to L. C. Gent and issued in London in 1880 for general household reading. The ornaments are small wood-engraved vignettes in which animals — squirrels, apes, a fox with acorns — curl inside interlocking roundels of stippled ground, trailing leaves and tendrils, usable as tailpieces, spot marks, or roundel frames.
