A COPIOUS AND CRITICAL

By E. A. ANDREWS, LL.D., &c.

In One Vol. royal 8vo. (pp. 1663), price 21s.

"In conclusion, we are glad to have an opportunity of introducing so excellent a work to the notice of our classical and philological readers. It has all that true German Gründlichkeit about it which is so highly appreciated by English scholars. Rarely, if ever, has so vast an amount of philological information been comprised in a single volume of this size. The knowledge which it conveys of the early and later Latin is not to be gathered from ordinary Latin Dictionaries.

With regard to the manner in which it is got up, we can speak most favourably. Every page bears the impress of industry and care. The type is clear, neat, and judiciously varied.”—ATHENÆUM.

"We have examined this book with considerable attention, and have no hesitation in saying it is the best dictionary of the Latin language that has appeared."-LITERARY GAZETTE.

EXTRACT FROM THE EDITOR'S PREFACE.

The basis of the new Latin Lexicon here offered to the public consists of a translation of the Wörterbuch der Lateinischen Sprache of Dr. Wilhelm Freund, which was published at Leipsic in four volumes, containing in all about 4500 pages in the following order: vol. i. (A-C) appeared in 1834; vol. iv. (R-Z) in 1840; vol. ii. (D—K) in 1844; and vol. iii. (L-Q) in 1845. In the latter year the Author published, also, a smaller school lexicon in two volumes, comprising about 1800 pages, from which some corrections have been adopted in preparing the present work. From this has also been taken Appendix B, containing lists of words from the Italian and French languages derived from the Latin, whose origin is more or less obscured by the euphonic changes they have undergone. An examination of the lists will show the student the nature of the changes suffered by Latin words passing into either of those languages, and will enable him to refer without difficulty almost any Latin word found in them to its original. The Lexicons of Gesner, Facciolati, Scheller, and Georges, have likewise been made use of for the purpose of supplying occasional deficiencies in those of Dr. Freund.

The object which the Editor has proposed to himself and his associates in the preparation of the work has been to condense these materials within the convenient limits of a single volume, and yet to preserve everything of real importance for general use in the larger lexicon of Dr. Freund.
