Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Abridgement of Ainsworth's Dictionary, English and Latin, for the Use of Grammar Schools: Into This Edition Are Introduced Several Alterations and Improvements for the Special Purpose of Facilitating the Labour and Increasing the Knowledge of the Young Scholar In the English and Latin part, the Editor was to retain the best Latin words and expressions; but to exclude all which he mightjudge superfluous or inappropriate At first sight, the last appeared was found often difficult. It frequently re q'uired much consideration before a choice could be made of the words to be retain ed, and those that would fall to be blotted out. In several instances, many suitable words or expressions were added, for which the Editor is, of course, responsible Abridgment formed an essential part of the plan, yet it was not intended to suppress anything which, to the young scholar, was of importance. Studying particularly the interest of the latter, and trusting to the liberality of the Proprietor, the Editor has allowed this part ofthe Work to remain considerably more extended than was either wished or anticipated.
