Description:Excerpt from A Poet's Being Passages, Mainly Poetical, From the Works of George Lansing RaymondCyclopedias of quotations are many and various, and yet each may have a particular value that fully justifies its existence. The editor may have collected standard quota tions, in which case his compilation possesses mainly the character of a reference work, giving the golden thoughts of the race in that mintage of artistic expression which has been stamped with approval by the masters of literature and accepted as sterling currency by the people. Such a work requires wide and accurate knowledge 1n its editor, but this alone; indeed the less literary discrimination he has the better it may be for a book recording confessedly the judgments of the men of the past whose endorsement of particular forms of expression has caused their incorporation into literature. The standards for constructing a work of this sort are identical with those of dictionary-making.Again, there is an order of cyclopedias of quotations in which the editor assumes the function of a connoisseur. He selects from accepted passages those whose form and substance meet With his special approval, and he adds other passages less known which in his opinion seem worthy of a similar incorporation into literature. If his taste and ability are such as to justify his purpose, the Work has itself some thing of the character of the literature with which it deals.
