The present edition of this standard and favorte Latin
Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to its
columns of the classical distinctions of Latin words, as
given in the Lexicon of Dr. Vim. Freund of Germany,
and translated by Riddle. The classical degree OF each
word is indicated by figure; for example, word tclo
figure is fully classical and Cicer0ndn CtH the figures
/, 2, and 3, words classical only in the first, sec
ond &c. degrees; and this distinction the student per-
ceives at glance The Psychological Index also from

edition Leverctt and will be found valuable acquis-
ton While transferring these notes and marks, caa-
logues carefully kept of the words found in each
Lexicon which not found in the other On compar-
ing these catalogues it found that the value and i'm
portance the additional words found in Leyere 30 far
as knowledge of the Latin language concerned very
far exceeds that those found in Riddles Freund The
extensive use Of Leverets Lexicon in all parts Of the
country and the preference which has been universally
given to all similar works. render its recommended
ton superfuous but attention 10 this new edition Is
respectfully invited, being still worthy than it's
predecessors of the distinguished favor which the work
