This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Edward Bulwer-Lytton's work Athens: Its Rise and Fall (1st edition, 1837, 2 volumes). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books:

• Volume I (books I and II; archived at the Internet Archive).
• Volume II (books III–V; archived at the Internet Archive).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |volume= – mandatory: the volume number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, either |volume=I or |volume=II.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from or, if quoting from the main part of the work, the chapter number in uppercase Roman numerals (which starts from I in each book). If quoting from the dedication in volume I, specify |chapter=Dedication.
• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from in Arabic or lowercase Roman numerals, as the case may be. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11 or |pages=v–vi.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

You must specify this information to have the template determine the book (I–V) quoted from, and to link to an online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
