This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations fromJames Russell Lowell's workAmong My Books (1st edition, 1st series, 1870; and 2nd series, 1876). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at theInternet Archive:

• 1st series (1870;contents).
• 2nd series (1876;contents).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |series= –mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the 2nd series (1876), specify|series=2. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st series (1870).
• |footnote= – if quoting from a footnote, the footnote symbol, like this:|footnote=*.
• |1= or|page=, or|pages= –mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with anen dash, like this:|pages=10–11.
  • You must also use|pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link determine the name of the chapter quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |2=,|text=, or|passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use|brackets=on to surround a quotation withbrackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the wordmanoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need tomanoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
