英语词汇bartlett-s的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Bartlett’s. For many years John Bartlett owned the University Book Store in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Harvard teachers and students came for assistance in tracking down the source of a quotation. Bartlett’s erudition soon made the saying “Ask John Bartlett” a customary one when anyone sought the origins of a phrase, a faith that was justified when Bartlett’s Fa- miliar Quotations, or Bartlett’s, appeared in 1855. John Bartlett died in 1905 at age 85, and his book remains a standard refer- ence work today, unequaled by any similar English work except The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. The Bartlett pear doesn’t bear the scholar’s name.
