Colleagues may be interested to know that the Mikhelson volume has (fairly)
recently been republished in a reprint edition.  Full details are:

M.I. Mikhelson,  Khodjachie i metkie slova: Sbornik russkikh i inostrannykh
tsitat, poslovits, pogovorok, poslovichnykh vyrazhenij i otdel'nykh slov
(inoskazanij).

Moscow, TERRA, 1994 (the original edition seems to have come out in 1890).

It is a very useful source for 18th and 19th century quotations etc.
