Dr. Louis Klopsch (1852-1910) was an enterprising immigrant journalist. He was born in Germany and then settled down with his family in New York at age two. At the age of twenty he edited a merchants’ trade newspaper. He also pioneered American overseas charities in a massive fashion, raising more than three million dollars through his newspaper. He aided famine victims in many places such as Sweden and Japan. By 1890 he was American editor of the British weekly, The Christian Herald. He later bought it out. He edited Many Thoughts of Many Minds: A Treasury of Quotations From the Literature of Every Land and Every Age in 1896.
There is nothing like the last edition of Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations. The edition before the current one. This one tried but could have been more.
What a treasure house of quotable thoughts! This book is a treasure trove of quotations from many sources from around the world and through time. Gives a wonderful insight into not only the persons quoted but also us and the time in which we live. Once you start leafing through you can’t put it down.
