A Copious and Critical English-Latin 



Dictionary. 



COMPILED FROM ORIGINAL SOURCES 



By WM. smith, LL.D., and THEOPHILUS D. HALL, M.A. 



Medium 8vo, 21s., and square 12mo. 7s. Qd. (970 pp.) {In February.) 



It has been the object of the Authors of this work to produce a more complete and 

 more perfect Enqlisii-Latix Dictionary than yet exists ; and the long delay in its 

 publication has been owing to the time and labour necessary to execute this intention. 

 It has been composed from beginning to end preci.sely as if there had been no work of the 

 kind in our language. Every article has been the result of original and independent 

 research ; the Authors have had the assistance of several scholars in the preparation of 

 various j)arts of the work ; and it is no exaggeration to say that it represents the unre- 

 mitted and conscientious labour of nearly twelve years. 



In the preparation of the work the Authors have had a constant eye to its practical 

 use. Great attention has been paid to the arrangement of the different meanings of a 

 word, and to giving the conesponding Latin equivalent to every separate meaning. Each 

 meaning is illustrated bj' phrases from the classical writers, and these phrases are trans- 

 lated into English, in order to put their appositeness to a decisive test. Moreover, 

 the exact references are given to the classical writers from whom these citations are 

 taken, and the most scrupulous care has been bestowed upon the veritication of the 

 references. In the case of words for which there neither is nor can be any classical 

 equivalent, recourse has been freely had to more modera sources. But while special 

 terms have been taken from writers of various ages, in all that relates to the complexion 

 of sentences which involve a question of taste or style, the aim of the Authors has been 

 to follow in the steps marked out by Cicero and his contemporaries, or the writers of 

 what is called the Augustan age. 



By the order and an-angement of the different meanings under every word the teacher 

 will perceive that his pupil can use it without fear of being bewildered by its fulness, and 

 with the certainty of finding the Avord he wants.
