The Editor has contrived, aithout at all destroying the unity of
the narrative, or mutilating the work, to condense the Orlando
into forty..four eantOs. His object has been, to present that cele-

dered it wholly unfit to he put into tbp hands of the youth of either

A NEV 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.
Muse than fifty years have now elapsed since the publication of
Ilaretti's Dictionary, which, although professedly compiled from
that of the Della Crusea, 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 Barettrs compilation thus became an 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 psblished by Mr. Petronj, will be found, not only all the
words contained in the Della Crusca, and Alberti, with their equi.
relents 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 most celebrated Italian entice. 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, Ice. &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 beat modern Gram.
marians. An impartial public will readily perceive and appreciate
the decided superiority of the present work over hs predecessor, and
the great advantages which it aftbrds to all who are desirous of per-
fecting themselves in the harmonious language of Italy.
A third pan is now in the press, containing the French, Italian,
and English.
