PKEFACE. r I IHE late Professor Key in the Preface to the first Edition of his Latin -*- Grammar, pubHshed in 1846, announced his intention to prepare forth- with a Latin Dictionary for schools, arranged, like the Grammar, on the Crude-form System, By the time when his ' Short Latin Grammar ' came out in 1852 he had already made considerable progress in the execution of this plan, but he had also found it advisable to add to it the preparation of a Dictionary arranged as usual ; and, the matter growing under his hands, he at last, about 1856, undertook a work which might satisfy the requirements of mature scholars, and discontinued the smaller work. The MS. of this larger dictionary was left unfinished at Professor Key's death in Nov. 1875. When the publication of this larger dictionary was first undertaken by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press, it was intended that it should be completed by another hand. But after a lapse of time, the loss of which is greatly to be regretted, this ultimately proved impracticable and had to be abandoned, and it was decided to print the Author's MS. as nearly as possible as he left it. Happily, incomplete as the work is, its value as a contribution to the study and understanding of the Latin tongue is almost as great as if Professor Key had lived to complete it ; since, from the time b ^'i Preface. when he foresaw the improbability of his doing so, he adopted the plan of applying himself primarily to those words throughout the Alphabet which he considered to reqiiire novel or special treatment, leaving the less important portion to be added afterwards ; and he himself states, in reference to the Dictionary, in the Preface to his book on 'Language,' published in 1874, that he had " included therein nearly all those words in which he thought himself able to make some improvement." Although therefore only part (especially the letter A) has been filled in, and can be regarded as com- plete or approximately so, yet the work may be taken to embody in a very large measure the results of a lifetime mainly devoted to the study of Latin. In the preparation of the MS. for the press it was found that it had not in any part received from the Author the necessary final revision. Only scholars who have been engaged in like labours can appreciate the difficulty of presenting the results with complete accuracy, even when an author has had abundant time to perfect them. Such scholars will not be surprised to learn that a large number of small lacunae and of inaccuracies and inconsistencies in minute matters remained in the MS. Most, perhaps nearly all, of these have been corrected during the passage of the book through the press, save some diversities, chiefly in the mode of reference to the ancient authors, which, being considered to be of minor importance, have been allowed to remain ; but no alteration has been made where it was not practically certain that Professor Key would have made it himself. In a very few instances it has been necessary to make small omissions, where it proved to be impossible to arrive at the Author's meaning, but no additions have been made to his w^ork. Circumstances rendered impossible a complete "verification of all the references from end to end ; yet in a large number of instances (it is hoped indeed in the great majority) where correction of this kind was needed it has been made. The peculiar difficulty of passing such a work through the press must be the exciise for such imperfections as might have been, but have not been, removed. Preface. vii For a fuller exposition of Professor Key's views on Latin Etymology and many matters touched upon in the present work than is possible in a dictionary, reference may be made to the following works of the Author : — A LATIN GRAMMAR, 3rd Edition. 1862. George Bell and Sons, York Street, Covent Garden. PHILOLOGICAL ESSAYS. 1868. George Bell and Sons. LANGUAGE, its origin and development. 1874. George Bell and Sons. In the Preface to each of the two last mentioned works will be found a list of other scattered articles and papers of the Author, chiefly contributed to the Transactions of the Philological Society, but as stated by him in the Preface to his ' Language, ' nearly all the substance of these papers is con- tained either in that book or the 'Essays.' ?>2 LIST OF SOME OF THE ABBKEVIATIONS USED IN THIS WORK.
