This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1828 edition. Excerpt: ...History of Charles the Twelfth, on the same plan, with a Preface, explanatory of the object and use of the double translation, and Notes. 2 vols. 8vo. 15s. An Index Verborum to the Medea of Euripides, as edited by Pobson:--intended as an Accompaniment to Edwards's Edition of Person's Medea of Euripides. Is. bds.

When many of the Perfects found in Grammars and Dictionaries are formed solely from Analogy, and have no existence in the Classics, why should not such Perfects be erased, and those only substituted which are found in the writings of the ancients? The Grammatical Institutes of Priscian were the chief groundwork of the early Latin...
