Description
Excerpt from A Latin Dictionary For Schools<br/><br/>I: 1879 the publishers of Harpers' Latin Dictionary requested me to construct from it a ler work, better adapted to the use of schools. In the conviction that a mere would not supply the wants of pupils, I resolved to compile an independent Dictionary, which should include all that a student needs, after acquiring the elements of Grammar, for the intero protation of the Latin authors commonly read in schools, and for correct expression in Latin, to the extent of the vocabulary of these authors. In forming the detailed plan for this purpose, it seemed desirable in many respects to deviate from the traditional practice in such works; but. Unwilling to take such an important step on an individual opinion, I determined to submit the whole subject to the judgment of several eminent scholars and successful teachers, whose advice would be a safe guide. Accordingly, in April, 1881, the plan of the Dictionary, as then enter tained, was printed in a private circular, with a number of proof-pages to illustrate it, and was laid before thirty of the gentlemen supposed to be most competent to improve it.
