"A peculiar anthologic maze, an amusing literary chaos, a farrago of quotations, a mere olla podrida of quaintness, a pot pourri of pleasant delites, a florilegium of elegant extracts, a tangled fardel of old-world flowers of thought, a faggot of odd fancies, quips, facetiae, loosely tied" (Holbrook Jackson, Anatomy of Bibliomania) by a "laudator temporis acti," a "praiser of time past" (Horace, Ars Poetica 173).

And the Lord said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
Id. 31.13:
Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
