Excerpt from A Dictionary of the English and Italian Languages, Vol. 2: To Which Is Prefixed an Italian and English Grammar
The Editors of the second and third Editions take credit for having made many additions, and corrected various omissions, as also for having thrown out a variety of indelicate, obsolete, and provincial terms, of no use in themselves, and tending only to increase, unnecessarily, the bulk of the Volumes.
It would appear, therefore, at first sight, (with such guides,) that nothing more would be necessary, in giving a new edition, than to follow the path they had previously trodden. The numerous and well-grounded complaints, however, which resounded from all quarters, too plainly proved, that similar attention had not been paid to the subsequent editions, from the multitude of glaring defects, which had crept in, the quantity of typographical errors, and particularly the unaccountable, and almost total omission of the distinction of the parts of speech, and the nature of the verbs, so essentially necessary in all languages.
