three large volumes of Allibone's Critical Dictionary, which, according to McConnell, included generous support for Allibone in his labors. The first volume of Lippincott’s edition retained Allibone’s dedication to George William Childs, but substituted “The Original Publisher of this Volume” for “The Publisher of this Work”. Volumes 2 and 3 he dedicated to his “friend Joshua B. Lippincott, whose enterprise enables me to give to the world the completion of this work”. The title page of volume 1 in 1858 had promised 30 thousand articles. This promise expanded to more than 43 thousand in the first and second volumes of the Lippincott edition. The title page of the third volume in 1871 claimed more than 46 thousand articles. Soon after the third volume appeared, a reviewer in the Catholic World accused Allibone, a staunch Episcopalian, of bias against Catholic writers, especially in relation to literature about Mary, Queen of Scots. A two-volume supplement was prepared by John Foster Kirk for J. B. Lippincott. The first volume, A through G, appeared in 1891 and the second, H through Z, in 1892. From 1867 to 1873 and again from 1877 to 1879, Allibone was book editor and corresponding secretary of the American Sunday School Union. From 1879 to 1888 he was librarian of the Lenox Library in New York City; he resigned due to failing health. He died at Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1889. In addition to his Critical Dictionary he published three large anthologies and several religious tracts. He contributed to the North American Review, the Evangelical Review and other periodicals. Allibone also prepared the indexes for Edward Everett's Orations and Speeches (1850–1859), and for Washington Irving's Life and Letters (1861–1864). Samuel Allibone's brother was Thomas Allibone (1809–1876), senior member of the family's shipping concern, Thomas Allibone & Co. Thomas Allibone was president of the large Bank of Pennsylvania at the time of its collapse in September 1857. Works Although widely attributed to Allibone, no trace of this tract is now evident. It was probably published by the American Sunday-School Union. The first part also published separately as: The title page brags: "With copious indexes: authors, 550; subjects, 435; quotations, 13,600." Lippincott also issued Poetical Quotations in a fancy edition with a frontis piece and a different title page, which advertised that the book is "illustrated with twenty steel engravings." The title page brags: "With indexes: authors, 544; subjects, 571; quotations, 8810."
