Synopsis
Excerpt from A Clical Dictionary<br/><br/>The republication of this latter edition In England, and the implied confession, connected with such a step,t that the original work of Lempriere stood in need of improvement, now broke the charm which had fettered the judgments of so many of our own countrymen, and it then began to be conceded on all sides that the Clical Dictionary of Dr Lempriere was by no means entitled to the claim of infallibility; nay, indeed, that it was defective throughout. When the owner of the work, therefore, ped into the hands of the Messrs. Carvill, and a new edition wes again wanted, those intelligent and enterprising publishers gave the editor permission to make whatever alterations and improvements he might see fit; and the Clical Dictionary now appeared In two octavo volumes, enriched with new materials derived from various sources, and presenting a much fairer claim than before to the attention of the student.
