An Elementary Latin Dictionary

An Elementary Latin Dictionary by Charlton T. Lewis, published in 1890, is a simplified, student-oriented version of the larger Latin Dictionary co-authored with Charles Short. Designed for beginners and intermediate learners, it provides clear, concise definitions of Latin words along with essential grammatical information such as parts of speech, principal parts of verbs, and typical usage. The dictionary focuses on vocabulary commonly found in classical texts, particularly those used in schools. Compact yet comprehensive, it serves as an accessible reference tool that supports reading, translation, and vocabulary building, making Latin more approachable for students in academic or self-study settings.
