Linguae latinae liber dictionarius quadripartitus. . A Latine dictionary, in four parts. I. An English-Latine. II. A Latine-Classical. III. A Latine-proper. IV. A Latine-barbarous. Wherein the Latine and English are adjusted, with what care might be, both as to stock of words and proprieties of speech. ... And in all four , many things that were utterly impertinent and cumbersom to school-institution and to the true uses of learning, are laid aside. Of all which several performances, together with considerable additions of new matter by way of appendage to the main work, a fuller account is given in the prefaces.
