The Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary, and Greek Lexicon: Forming a Glossary of All the Words Representing Visible Objects Connected with the Arts, Manufactures, and Every-Day Life of the Greeks and Romans; With Representations of Nearly Two T by Anthony Rich (Paperback / softback, 2017)
Excerpt from The Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary, and Greek Lexicon: Forming a Glossary of All the Words Representing Visible Objects Connected With the Arts, Manufactures, and Every-Day Life of the Greeks and Romans; With Representations of Nearly Two Thousand Objects From the Antique The Greek synyms and the Index to them have received some considerable additions. It was t at first intended to insert any Greek terms at all but the advisability, if t the necessity, of doing 50, became apparent as the work progressed, and they were introduced amongst the articles as memory served, mostly while the pages were going through the press. Some few additional illustrations have been introduced from ori ginals discovered in excavations made since the previous publication, or which were at that time unkwn to me, or had escaped my memory. Some few articles have likewise been added; and others have had more matter introduced into them, if interesting in itself; but always with extreme sobriety, so as t to destroy the original design, which was to produce a large book in a small compass, entitled to take its rank as an authority amongst scholars, and be a safe guide to the student, whilst it would serve less as a manual of ready reference for artists, archaeologists, and all who interest them selves about the history and manners of bygone ages and especially of those two great and gifted families of the human race to whom our modern civilization is so largely indebted. How far that object has been accomplished is t for me to decide. But as the volume has been translated into the three principal lan guages of Europe, - French, Italian, and German, - without any con cert with myself, and therefore presumably because it supplied a want previously experienced, it may be permitted me to indulge a belief that the time and trouble expended upon it has t been altogether bestowed in vain.
