Excerpt from Latin Synonyms: With Their Different Significations, and Examples Taken From the Best Latin Authors Although the author of this work appears to have thought it unnecessary to prefix any thing to its various editions, but his Dedication to the University of Paris, and the Decree of that learned body, which recommended it to all who were desirous of attaining an eminent degree of knowledge in the Latin language, enjoining its use to those under its own jurisdiction; yet circumstances have occurred, which oblige the translator to beg leave to make a few observations. Being engaged in the instruction of youth in the Latin language, he had frequent occasion to observe the want of some work of this nature, to facilitate the progress of his pupils; and was much surprised that neither had any been attempted by English writers, nor had this work of Mr. Gardin Dumesnil, though so universally adopted on the Continent, been translated into the English language. He accordingly undertook the present volume, with a strong impression that its utility would ensure its success. He had proceeded some length, when, upon observing an advertisement of Doctor Hill's Latin Synonymous Words, he thought he had no longer need to persevere.
