THE READER'S HANDBOOK 



OF ALLUSIONS, REFERENCES, PLOTS, AND STORIES. 

 By the Rev. Dr. BREWER. 



" Dr. Brewer has produced a wonderfully comprehensive dictionary of references 

 to matters which are always cropping up in conversation and in everyday life, and 

 writers generally will have reason to feel grateful to the author for a most handy 

 volume, supplementing in a hundred ways their tnvn knowledge or ignorance, as 

 the case may be. . , . It is something more than a mere dictionary of quota* 

 tions, though a most useful companion to any work of that kind, beingadictionarv 

 of most of the allusions, references, plots, stories, and characters which occur in 

 t/ie classical poems, plays, novels, romances, &*c., not only of our own country, but 

 of most nations, ancient and modern" TIMES. 



" A welcome addition to the list of what may be termed the really handy refer- 

 ence-books, combining as it does a dictionary of literature with a condensed encj- 

 clopcfdia, interspersed with items one usually looks for in commonplace books. The 

 appendices contain the dates of celebrated aiid will-known dramas, operas, poems, 

 and novels, with the names of their authors." SPKCTATOR. 



"There seems to be scarcely anything concerning -which one may not ' overhaul' 

 Dr. Brewer's book with profit. It is a most laborious and patient compilation, 

 and, considering the magnitude of the work, successfully performed. . . Many 

 queries which appear in our pages could be satisfactorily answered by a reference 

 ta ' The Reader s Handbook : ' no mean testimony to the value of Dr. Brewer' t 

 book." NOTES AND QUBRIES.
