Publisher A dictionary, English-Latin, and Latin-English; containing all things necessary for the translating of either language into the other. To which end many things that were erroneous, are rectified, many superfluities retrenched, and very many defects supplied. And all suited to the meanest capacities, in a plainer method than heretofore; being for ease reduced into an alphabetical order, and explained in the mother tongue. And towards the compleating the English part (which hath been long desired) here are added thousands of words, phrases, proverbs, proper names, and many other useful things mentioned in the preface to the work. The seventeenth edition, with large additions. By Elisha Coles, late of Magdalen-College, Oxon. Coles , Elisha (Author)

To which is prefixed, A Compendious English Grammar, with general Rules for the ready Formation of one Part of Speech from another; by the due Application whereof, such as understand English only, may be able to write as correctly and elegantly as those who have been some Years conversant in the Latin, Greek, and other Languages.

As Also of the most celebrated Emperors, Kings, Queens, Priests, Poets, Philosophers, General, &c. whether Jewish, Pagan, Mohametan, or Christian; but more especially such as are mentioned either in the Old or New Testament. The Whole Alphabetically digested, and accented in the same Manner, and for the same Purpose, as the preceding Part; being collected for the Use of such as have but an imperfect Idea of the English Orthography. Originally begun by the late Reverend Mr. Thomas Dyche, School-Master at Stratford-le-Bow, Author of The Guide to the English Tongue, The Spelling-Dictionary, &c. And finished by the late William Pardon, Gent. The Fourteenth Edition, with the Addition of the several Market Towns in England and Wales, giving a general Description of the Places, their Situations, Market Days, Government, Manufactures, Number of Representatives sent to Parliament, Distance from London, both in computed and measured miles, &c.
