Who were they? If their names sounded English, were they English or American? If their names sounded Spanish, were they Spanish or South American?

John Gay wrote the Beggar's Opera. His words are recorded in Westminster Abbey, Poets' Corner.
I started researching the authors of quotations, had to use card index cards to keep track, and ended up with a second book, Who Said What When.
