Description

Excerpt from A Copious and Critical Latin-English Lexicon, Founded on the Larger Latin-German Lexicon of Dr. W. Freund<br/><br/>But, whatever may be thought of the correctness. Of the methodfadopted by. Us in this re spect, it is hoped that no onewill regard what has been said as designed to cast censure upon_ the Author, or to magnify the importance of our very humble toils at his expense. Few will appreciate, as profoundly as we do, the learning, industry, and judgment which he has here exhibited, and for-which he has our warmest admiration; and few will be disposed to regard more leniently'the occasional lapses produced by the weariness that will at times seize upon -t_he most zealous and energetic in the course of a labor-se complicated and monotonous, and extending over such a length of time. On _our part, while we do not shrink from fair and even searching criticism, neither do we brave it on the supposition that we are inaccessible to blame; It is for the interests of learning that whatever faults we have committed should be to light, in order to their future rectification; and if in any instance we. Have made that wrong which before was right, we hold ourselves amenable to just aninmdversion. All we ask or wish for is, that our labors may be fairly considered, and' judged accordingly. In concluding these remarks, the Editor would avail hirhself of the opportunity to acknowl edge his deep obligations to the learned friends and associates whose assistance he has enjoyed during the progress of the work. 'a very large share _of all that may be judged meritorious in the preparation of the. Present volume is justly to be ascribed to the care and accurate dis crimination of the distinguished gentlemen by whom the translation of the original work has been made: The articles comprised in the first three letters of the vocabulary, or from A to C inclusive, were translated by the Rev. R. D. C.
