A Smaller English-Latin Dictionary, Abridged from the Larger Dictionary of Dr Wm [William] Smith and Professor T D Hall

722pp. In strong boards covered with pebbled cloth, blind rule decorations, with leather title label on spine. Boards worn and rubbed at edges, two short unusual cuts on upper edge, some marks especially on lighter spine cloth, spine label a little chipped at edges. Internally a hint of toning, gutters strained at front at back but still firmly bound. Previous owner’s name on front free endpaper. This evocative dictionary may be entitled ‘small’ – and indeed it is small the voluminous on which it is based – but it is not a small volume. As an English to Latin dictionary, great pains were taken by the compilers to capture the different senses of English words and provide a Latin translation. Thick 8vo.
