TAILIEUCHUNG - A Smaller Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography

The present work is designed to supply a want which still exists in our School Classical Literature. It has been represented to the editor, from several quarters, that his Larger Classical Dictionary, though well adapted for the use of the higher forms in the public schools, is excluded, both by its size and price, from a great number of schools, which are therefore obliged to put up with the abridgments of Lempriere's obsolete work. In consequence of these representations, the editor has been induced to draw up this Smaller Dictionary | The StữLENT S. Classical Dictionary. A SMALLER CLASSICAL DICTIONARY OF BIOGRAPHY MYTHOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY. ABRIDGED FROM THE LARGER DICTIONARY. By william smith . . WITH ILLUSTRATIONS. NEW YORK CINCINNATI CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY PREFACE. Tẹe present work is designed to supply a want which still exists in our School Classical Literature. It has been represented to the editor from several quarters that his Larger Classical Dictionary though well adapted for the use of the higher forms in the public schools is excluded both by its size and price from a great number of schools which are therefore obliged to put up with the abridgments of Lempriồre s obsolete work. In consequence of these representations the editor has been induced to draw up this Smaller Dictionary. All names have been inserted which a young person would be likely to meet with at the commencement of his classical studies and only those have been omitted which occur in later writers or in works not usually read in schools. The quantities have been carefully marked and the genitive cases inserted. The mythological articles have been illustrated by drawings from ancient works of art for which the editor is indebted to the skillful pencil of his friend Mr. George Scharf. In this as in the Smaller Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities care has been taken not to presume too much on the knowledge of the reader. It is therefore hoped that these two works may be used conjointly with advantage even in schools where Latin and Greek are not taught. WILLIAM SMITH B Pkiam before Achilles.
