It is an indispensible reference work for students, writers, public speakers and legal professionals, or anyone interested in the apropos and pithy quote. Appendices include: a list of the major Latin writers and their works, one hundred fifty most common Latin phrases, and one hundred fifty most popular Latin quotations.
