Wikiquote:Bartlett's 1919 Index
The following is a list of 658 persons (and books) with entries in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919), a work in the public domain. All of the quotes from this compilation have now been incorporated into the Wikiquote pages for their authors.
Although citation to Bartlett's is sufficient to include these quotes on the pages of the authors, it would be preferable for the quotes to be fully cited to the original work, leaving no need to cite Bartlett's at all. Note that the 1919 Bartlett's information is not independently fully sourced, as the quotes tends to lack page numbers and dates. Furthermore, some quotes have been found to be misattributed or contain errors, so they should be taken with at least a grain of salt.
Please note that the fact that a name is listed here does not mean that the entry on that person is complete by Wikiquote standards; it only means that whatever quotes the 1919 Bartlett's contained from that person are now contained in Wikiquote.
