"This is substantially an abridgment of my 'Latin Dictionary for Schools' (Clarendon Press, Oxford 1889). The vocabulary has extended to include all words used by Catullus, Tibullus, Propertius, and Tacitus (in his larger works), as well as those used by Terence, Caesar, Sallust, Cicero, Livy, Nepos, Vergil, Horace, Ovid , Juvenal, Phaedrus, and Curtius." --Lewis T. Charlton. A Latin Dictionary compiled in the early 1890s, one of the few available (if flawed) Latin dictionaries available before 1983, when the Oxford Latin dictionary was completed. Contains information about customs, laws, dialects and political structures as well as a glossary of roots, useful for new students in the language, or a seasoned classics buff.
