Publisher Linguae latinae liber dictionarius quadripartitus. Dr. Adam Littleton's Latin dictionary, in four parts: I. An English-Latin. II. A Latin-classical. III. A Latin-proper. IV. A Latin-barbarous. Representing I. The English words and phrases before the Latin; among which latter, no word or expression is admitted, but what is classic, and of an approved authority. II. The Latin-classic before the English; wherein care is taken, that the proper and original signification of each word is first set down, which is followed by those that are derivative, metaphorical or remote. III. The Latin-proper names of those persons, people or countries that frequently occur, or are any way remarkable in classic authors, with explications from their several languages, and a short account of them historical and geographical. IV. 1. The Latin-barbarous, explaining as well such technical words or terms of art, as are made necessary to us by the many inventions and discoveries not known to the ancients, as those which crept into the Latin tongue during the ignorance and darkness of the Middle Ages. 2. The law-Latin, comprehending those words, which are made use of by the common lawyers in their particular profession; very necessary for the understanding of charters, &c. The fourth edition. Improved from the several works of Stephens, Cooper, Holyoke, and a large MS. in three volumes, of Mr. John Milton, &c. in the use of all which, for greater exactness, recourse has always been had to the authors themselves. With two maps; one of Italy, another of old Rome. Littleton , Adam (Author)
