Book title

Linguæ Latinæ Liber Dictionarius Quadripartitus. A Latine Dictionary, In Four Parts. I. An English-Latine. II. A Latine-Classical. III. A Latine-Proper. IV. A Latine-Barbarous. Wherein The Latine and English are adjusted, with what care might be, both as to Stock of Words and Proprieties of Speech. Particularly, 1. In the English-latine, more Words and Proprieties of our Language, as now spoken, are set down, by several Thousands, than in any other Dictionary yet extant. 2. In the Latine-classick, the Etymologies, Significations, and Phrases are fully and plainly, yet briefly, discoursed; together with the several Kinds and Constructions of the Verbs; a thing hitherto not much regarded. 3. In the Latine-proper, the Expressions of Story, which were taken mostly out of Cooper, are much amended, and many useful things are now added, which were formerly omitted; with two Mapps, one of Italy, another of old Rome. 4. In the Latine-barbarous, those words which through Mistake of writing have been corrupted from the Latine, or by Ignorance or Boldness of later Authors have crept into the Latine, are exposed and expounded. And in all Four Parts, many things that were utterly impertinent and cumbersom to School-Institution and to the true uses of Learning, are laid aside
