Synopsis
Excerpt from A New and Copious Lexicon of the Latin Language<br/><br/>As to the significations of words, it is hoped that, both on the score of exactness and copious ness, the present work will not prove unworthy of regard. The various meanings of the words are generally illustrated by a number of examples, which, in their turn, are also fi'equently trans lated. Though here some diversity will be observed in different parts of the work, yet it is believed that, even in those parts least fully illustrated by examples, nothing important has~been omitted. The intention has been, in all cases, to give every meaning which a word could be thund to bear, and to distinguish, as carefully as might be, its various shades and modifications. Here, too, it wiu be seen that the particles have not been neglected, which, though not usually esteemed of so great moment, are certainly worthy of care and study, as being, ifnot the bone and sinew, certainly the joints of language. It is hoped, too, that the strong temptation which isofi'ered to formnew English words tiller the Latin, has not often been yielded to, but rather that a large store of good English words and idioms will not be found wanting. Much care has been devoted to the correct interpre tatiua of the names of animalsand vegetables; in which point, the dictionary of Liinemann'has been of great use.
