Scope and Contents

Bifolium, 4to; prospectus for "an application to the Latin Language of the principle which guided Hoogeveen in the construction of his Dictionarium Analogicum Linguae Graecae". Includes facsimile of a holograph list of subscribers. ALS from the author loosely inserted: "Sir, In presenting to you the accompanying copies of my Prospectus of a new Latin Lexicon, I am especially authorized to mention the name of the Reverend W. Blakesley Fellow of Trinity College Cambridge, who has taken much interest in my endeavors to procure a sufficient number of subscribers to secure me from loss in printing the work; which in [illegible] by that gentleman, and many other very distinguished scholars and accomplished judges of such subjects, as most valuable in all philosophical investigations of the Latin Language, and the languages derived therefrom. I need hardly add that, there is nothing of mercenary speculation in the undertaking, but that it is purely scholastic--in fact the offspring of philological studies carried on during many years in Germany, in the University of Virginia, and the Trinity College Dublin; and I should, of course, be greatly obliged to you for any services you can render as to procurring as subscribers the eminent gentlemen connected with your venerable College; for which I entertain a preculiar regret, as being myself one of the "Founder's Kin": Hoping for the honor and advantage of your important patronage, I have the honor to be, sir, your faithfully humble servent...P.S. I shall be happy to furnish more copies of the Prospectus if required." Not in OCLC.
