"Published October 1937."

"This preface was written for the forthcoming eleventh edition of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. (to be ready October 1937, revised and enlarged by Christopher Morley and Louella D. Everett). It seemed to the publishers desirable to issue it independently, not only as a foretaste of the long-anticipated new Barlett, but as a moving essay on 'the qualities of permanence' in writing."--Publisher's Note.

Red cloth spine with tan boards decorated with parallel red and black geometrical designs. Cream panel on front cover printed and lettered in brown.
