The present edition of this standard and favore 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 cithoa

edition of Laverett and will be found valuable acquisi-
ton. While transferring these and marks, cata-
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
porance of the additional words found in Leveret far
knowledge of the Latin language IL concerned, very
far exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund The
