Excerpt from A Collection of Supplements to All Editions of Lempriere's Classical Dictionary: More Especially to the Enlarged One
Such a Work, executed in so admirable a manner, can scarcely fail to meet with proper encouragement, not only from royal academicians, practising professors of engraving, painting, and sculpture, the lovers of the fine arts, and the youthful and aspiring pupils, but also from classical scholars, who will find in this Dictionary the solution of many difficulties, which surround their favorite authors in Cimmerian darkness, and arrest the reader in his career of poetic enthusiasm, or of philosophical contemplation, or of historical research, - disenchanting his imaginative musings, and disharmonising his ratiocinative processes.
