, WITH ADDITIONS.

One volume, 12mo.

This volume comprises a copious collection of legal and other terms which
are in common use, with English translations and historical illustrations;
and we should judge its author had surely been to a great "Feast of
Languages," and stole all the scraps. A work of this character should have
an extensive sale, as it entirely obviates a serious difficulty in which
most readers are involved by the frequent occurrence of Latin, Greek, and
French passages, which we suppose are introduced by authors for a mere show
of learning--a difficulty very perplexing to readers in general. This
"Dictionary of Quotations," concerning which too much cannot be said in its
favour, effectually removes the difficulty, and gives the reader an
advantage over the author; for we believe a majority are themselves
ignorant of the meaning of the terms they employ. Very few truly learned
authors will insult their readers by introducing Latin or French quotations
in their writings, when "plain English" will do as well; but we will not
enlarge on this point.

If the book is useful to those unacquainted with other languages, it is no
less valuable to the classically educated as a book of reference, and
answers all the purposes of a Lexicon--indeed, on many accounts, it is
better. It saves the trouble of tumbling over the larger volumes, to which
every one, and especially those engaged in the legal profession, are very
often subjected. It should have a place in every library in the country.
