The present edition of this standard Latin

given in the Lexicon of DIR. VIM Freund, of Germany

figure is fully classical and Ccerondn ici the figures
l. 2 and 3, words classical only in the FIRST sec

edition of Leverett and will be found valuable acquisi

knowledge of the Latin language Ii concerned very
far exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund The
extensive of Lcvercts Lexicon in all parts of the
