THIRD TRIP OF THE UNABRIDGED 15. — Roughing It, Mark Twain
Every time we avalanched from one end of the stage to the other, the Unabridged Dictionary would come too; and every time it came it damaged somebody. — Story Hour Readings: Seventh Year, E. C. (Ernest Clark) Hartwell
Two or three purchasers put up frame houses at the Landing and moved in, and of course a far-sighted but easy-going journeyman printer wandered along and started the “Napoleon Weekly Telegraph and Literary Repository”--a paper with a Latin motto from the Unabridged dictionary, and plenty of “fat” conversational tales and double-leaded poetry--all for two dollars a year, strictly in advance. — The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, Mark Twain
