A NEW DICTIONARY, ITALIAN AND ENGLISH—
ENGLISH AND ITALIAN, with the Equivalents in French,
by Stefano Egidio Petronj, Member of the Grand Italian Academy,
and John Davenport.
More than fifty years have now elapsed since the publication of
Raretti'a Dictionary, which, although professedly compiled from
that of the Della Cruses, does not contain all the words found even
in that Vocabulary. This imperfection was rendered still more
serious by the subsequent appearance of the copious Dictionary of
Alberti, which included several thousand words more than any
other lexicographical work of the Italian language. The meagre-
ness and poverty of Baretti's compilation thus became so apparent,
that nothing but the want of a superior work of the kind could have
insured it so large a share of public patronage. In the Dictionary
now published by Mr. Petronj, will be found, not only all the
words contained in the Della Crusca, and Alberti, with their equi-
valents in French and English, but also many new ones of recent
introduction into the language, together with the philological re-
marks of Monti, one of the moat celebrated Italian critics. Mr. P.
also! for the first time, has marked the exact pronunciation of every
Italian word, the irregularities of verbs, the doubtful plurals of
nouns, &e. &c. Mr. Davenport has rendered the second volume
particularly useful to foreigners, by marking the accentuation of
every English word, and by the addition of a Synopsis of English
Grammar, founded upon the principles of the best modern Gram-
marians. An impartial public will readily perceive and appreciate
the decided superiority of the present work over its predecessor, and
the great advantages which it affords to all who are desirous of per-
fectingthemselves in the harmonious language of Italy.
A third part is now in the press, containing the French, Italian,
and English.
