Tne translation of Dr. Freund’s great Latin-German Lexicon, edited by the late
E. A. Andrews, LLD., and published in 1850, has been from that time in extensive
use throughout England and America, It has had for competitors, indeed, in the
schools and colloges of both countries, only works which are substantially reprints or
abridgments of itself. As it has thus been the standard book of reference of its kind
for a generation of scholars, its merits need no description here.
Meanwhile, great advances have been made in the sciences on which lexicography
depends. Minute research in manuscript authorities has lurgely restored the texts of
the classical writers, and even their orthography. Philology has traced the growth
and history of thousands of words, and revealed meanings and shades of meaning
which were long unknown. Syntax has been subjected to a profounder analysis.
The history of ancient nations, the private life of their citizens, the thoughts and be-
liefs of their writers, have been closely scrutinized in the light of accumulating infor-
mation. Thns the student of to-day may justly demand of his lexicon far more than
the scholarship of thirty years ago could furnish, The present work is the result of a
series of earnest efforts by the Publishers to meet this demand.
It was seen fifteen years ago that at least u very thorough revision of the Lexicon
was needed Tt was thorefare snhmitted to the anthar of the origi
Wratam Freunn, who carefully revised it, rewrote a few of the less satisfactory arti-
cles, corrected errors, and supplied about two thousand additions, mainly in the early
pages. The sheets were then placed in the hands of Professor Henry Drustrr, LL.D.,
to be edited; but that eminent scholar soon advised us that a reconstruction of the
work was desirable, such as he could not command leisure to make. They were after-
wards delivered to the present editors to be used freely, and in combination with all
other appropriate sonrees, in compiling a Latin Lexicon which should meet the ad-
vanced requirements of the times. ‘The results of heir unremitting labors for several
years are now given to the publi
The first 216 pages (words beginning with A) are the work of Professor Curis
Snorr, LL.D., of Columbia College. The remainder of the book, from page 217 to
page 2019 inclusive, is the work of Mr. Cuartton T. Lew1s. While each editor is
alone and wholly responsible for the pages which he has prepared, Mr. Lewrs requests
us to acknowledge the indebtedness of the book to contributions from other scholars,
incorporated by him with his own collections. It is proper to refer, in particular, to
the valuable services of Gustavus Fiscner, LL.D., of New Brunswick, whose Jearning
d thovoughness hardly attempied
before in a Latin Lexicon (see, for example, the words contra, 2. eum, sic, sista, salno,
snus, tum, tune, volo, and others); and of Professor Gxoror M. Lane, Ph.D., of Har-iv PUBLISHERS’ ADVERTISEMENT.
vard College, who has kindly examined a large part of the book in proof, and has
freely communicated, in his suggestions and corrections, the ripe fruits of his scholar-
ship. Every effort has been made to avoid exvors of the press; and, through the pa-
tient skill of the proof-reader, Mr. Gzoxcr W. Coutoep, exceptional accuracy in this
respect has, we believe, been attained.
