Usage
editThis template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Richard Lichfield's work The Trimming of Thomas Nashe Gentleman (1st edition, 1597); it was formerly attributed to Gabriel Harvey. As this edition is not currently available online, the template can be used to create a link to an online version of an 1870 edition of the work at Google Books ([ttps://archive.org/details/trimmingthomasn00campgoog archived] at the Internet Archive).
