| Notas: | "The translation of Dr. Freund's great Latin-German Dictionary, edited by the late E. A. Andrews, LL.D, and published in 1850, has been from that time in extensive use throughout England and America. ... It was seen fifteen years ago that at least a very thorough revision of the Dictionary was needed. It was therefore submitted to the author of the original work, Dr. William Freund, who carefully revised it, rewrote a few of the less satisfactory articles, corrected errors, and supplied about two thousand additions, mainly in the early pages. The sheets were then placed in the hands of Professor Henry Drisler, LL.D. to be edited; but that eminent scholar soon advised us that a reconstruction of the work was desirable, such as he could not command leisure to make. They were afterwards delivered to the present editors to be used freely, and in combination with all other appropriate sources, in compiling a Latin Dictionary which should meet the advanced requirements of the times. The results of their unremitting labours for severals years are now given to the public. The first 216 pages ... are the work of Professor Charles Short, LL.D., of Columbia College. The remainder of the book ... is the work of Mr. Charlton T. Lewis. ... March 1, 1879" -- P. [III]-IV |
