ANEW DICTIONARY, ITALIAN and ENGLISH
—ENGLISH and ITALIAN, with the Equivalents in
French.
By STEFANO EGIDIO PETRONJ, Member—of the (had
Italian Academy; and JOHN DAVENPORT.
More than fifty years have now elapsed since the publication of
Baretti's Dictionary, which, although professedly compiled from
that of the Della Crusca, does not contain all the words found even
in that Vocabulary. This imperfection was rendered still more
seriou.;, by the subsequent appearance of the copious Dictionary of
Alberti, which included several thousand words more than any
wars lexicographical work of the Italian language. The meagre-
ness and poverty of Barettibi compilation thus became so apparent,
that no:hing but the want of a superior work of the kind could have
ensured it so large a share of public patronage. In the Dictionary
now publishei by Mr. Petronj, will be found, not only all the
words container: in the Della Cruaca 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 01e most celebrated Italian cities. 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, &c. he. Mr. Davenport has rendered the second volume
particularly useful to Foreigners by marking the accentuation of
every English word, and by the u'ildiu.on of a Synopsis of English
Grammar, founded upon the principles cf the best modern Gram-
MANIA. An impartial public will readily perceive and appreciate
the decided superiority of the present work over its predecessor, and
the great advantages which it affonls w all who are desirous of per-
fecting themselves in the harmonious language of Italy.
