Description

Leather Binding, Original Binding, Scarce

This is the scarce, revised, 1741 second edition of this work, with additions and improvements from schoolmaster and scholar Samuel Patrick, for some years the second master at Charterhouse School.

This was a well known work in its day, authored by Robert Ainsworth, a Latin lexicographer who explains in his preface that the motivation for these volumes was to do 'a service to learning'. This educational work, subtitled a 'Compendious Dictionary of the Latin Tongue: Designed for the Use of the British Nations', also includes the Roman calendar, units of measurements and a chronology of Roman kings and consuls.
