LEvERETTs LATIN LEXICON,

INNLARGED AND IMPROVED, compiled chiefly from
IL the Magnum Tous Latinitatis Lexicon at Faccioati
and Forcen and the German works of scheler Lue
nemann, embracing, also, the classical distinctions of
words, and the Psychological Index from Freunds Lexi-
con. - attt- tl.r
The present edition of this standard and fayote Latin
Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to its
columns of the classical distinctions of Latin words,
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 ohot
figure is fully classical and Cceoiian; ci the figures
J. 3 and B. words classical only in the first
ond, &c. degrees and this distinction the student per-
ceives at glance. The Psychological Index, also from
Freunds Lexicon has been incorporated into the present
edition of Leverett and will be found valuable acquis
ton. While transferring these notes and marks,
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
porance of the additional words found in Leyerett far
knowledge of the Latin language is concerned very
far exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund The
extensive of Leveretts Lexicon in all parts of the
country and the preference which has been universally
given it all similar works. render its recommends
ton superfuous but attention to this edition is
respectfully invited, being still worthy than its
predecessors of the distinguished favor which the work
has hitherto received.
