JUST PUBLISHED
A New Edition, corrected and improved, in One Volume, royal 8vo. (pp. 1690), price 21s. cloth,
A COPIOUS AND CRITICAL
LATIN-ENGLISH LEXICON,
FOUNDED ON THE
LARGER GERMAN-LATIN LEXICON
OF
DR. WILLIAM FREUND:
WITH ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS
FROM THE
LEXICONS OF GESNER, FACCIOLATI, SCHELLER, GEORGES, &c.
BY
E. A. ANDREWS, LL.D., &c.
In reviewing this Lexicon, the Athenæum says—
"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 earlier 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."
The Literary Gazette says—
"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."
The Spectator says—
"An elaborate fulness and completeness, while everything is quite clear, are the characteristics of this work,—rendering it the best Latin Dictionary for the scholar or advanced student."
The Examiner says—
"Dr. Andrews has a claim to our gratitude for his translation, not simply on the ground of his faithful retention of the excellencies of Dr. Freund, but also for much correction and some additions. In the 1663 large 8vo. pages which form the volume before us, all the most valuable arrangements of detail have been compressed. It remains for us only to add that we never saw such a book published at such a price."
*** "In consequence of a strict adherence to this rule, the present work is distinguished from every manual Latin-English Lexicon heretofore published, not only by the number of authorities cited, but by its full reference in every case, both to the name of the classical author, and to the particular treatise, book, section, or line of his writings, in which the passage referred to is to be found."
