About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Cassell's Latin Dictionary Since its first appearance in 1854 and through many revisions this dictionary has remained constant in its appeal to scholars. As Head of the Classical Department at Eton College, D. P. Simpson was uniquely qualified to revise the work in the light of modern knowledge and he has introduced fresh material from a number of sources. In English idiom and Latin spelling he has followed present-day usages. "This new and revised Latin Dictionary is among the best of its kind, being reliable, compact and adequate for the needs of all save the specialist. He has produced what is in effect a new book, typographically easy to consult and combining elegance with utility"— The Times Literary Supplement Famous Cassell's Dictionaries French-English, English-French Standard, Thumb-indexed and Concise Editions German-English, English-German Standard, Thumb-indexed and Concise Editions Spanish-English, English-Spanish Standard, Thumb-indexed and Concise Editions Italian-English, English-Italian Standard and Thumb-indexed Editions English-Dutch, Dutch-English Standard Edition Latin-English, English-Latin Standard, Thumb-indexed and Concise Editions A series of companion volumes showing the peculiarities of meaning and usage in colloquial speech, the intricacies of which cannot be adequately explained in a standard dictionary.
