Smaller Classical Dictionary. Revised from Sir William Smith. The indispensable, encyclopedic guide to the ancient world,

This is truly a single source encyclopedic guide to all facts about the ancient world. It is a ready reference to myths and legends, gods and goddesses, leaders and battles, places and dates as well as identifying top mid-20th century scholars and reflecting then known archaeological findings. xxi + 319pp. Sir William Smith (1813–1893) was an English lexicographer. Smith published the first of several school dictionaries in 1850, and in 1853 began the Principia series, which marked an advance in the teaching of Greek and Latin. Then came the Student's Manuals of History and Literature, of which the English literature volume went into 13 editions. Edward Henry Blakeney (1869–1955) was an English educator, classical scholar and poet. As well as several volumes of poetry, he published editions and translations of classical Latin and Greek texts. John Warrington has little or no biographic information available. It appears he provided many translations for the Every Man's Classics Paperback series. Since both Smith and Blakeney were dead long before this book was published in 1958, Warrington and E. P. Dutton editors were responsible to bring this book to completion. Paperback book is remarkably well preserved and has been carefully stored and used. No defined reading creases, interior is tight, clean and unmarked. Copyright 1958. Printed in U.S.A.
