Tom Brown's School Days on Kenilworth: “This is Wayland Smith's cave, a place of classic fame now; but as Sir Walter has touched it, I may as well let it alone, and refer you to "Kenilworth" for the legend.”
Tom Brown's School Days on Yeast: “What village feasts have come to, I fear, in many cases, may be read in the pages of "Yeast" (though I never saw one so bad--thank God!).”
Tom Brown's School Days on Eclogues: “Young gentlemen of all ages from nine to fifteen were to be found there, who expended such part of their energies as was devoted to Latin and Greek upon a book of Livy, the "Bucolics" of Virgil, and the "Hecuba" of Euripides, which were ground out in small daily portions.”
Tom Brown's School Days on Hecuba: “Young gentlemen of all ages from nine to fifteen were to be found there, who expended such part of their energies as was devoted to Latin and Greek upon a book of Livy, the "Bucolics" of Virgil, and the "Hecuba" of Euripides, which were ground out in small daily portions.”
Tom Brown's School Days on The Pickwick Papers: “…h-form boys to fag us as they do?" "No more right than you have to fag them," answered East, without looking up from an early number of "Pickwick," which was just coming out, and which he was luxuriously devouring, stretched on his back on the sofa.”

Tom Brown's School Days on The Birds: “Then there's Pericles's speech coming on in Thucydides, and 'The Birds' to get up for the examination, besides the Tacitus."”
Tom Brown's School Days on Don Quixote: “Why, when he first came I remember he used to read Herodotus for pleasure as I did Don Quixote, and couldn't have made a false concord if he'd tried ever so hard; and then I looked after his cricket."”
