Excerpt from Classical And Foreign Quotations, Law Terms And Maxims, Proverbs, Mottoes, Phrases, And Expressions, in French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Spanish, And Portuguese: In French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Spanish, And Portuguese, With Translation, References, Explanatory Notes, And Indexes The chief difference in this Edition, as compared with its predecessor, is the correction of false quotation, faulty accents, faulty references, and m???stranslations.

Kind, the Indexes have been.entirely rewritten and enlarged, and, as regards the Subject Index, put into more literary shape.
