IV. 1. The Latin barbarous, explaining as well such technical words or terms of art, as are made necessary to us by the many inventions and discoveries not known to the ancients, as those which crept into the Latin tongue during the ignorance and darkness of the Middle Ages. 2. The law-Latin, comprehending those words, which are made use of by the common lawyers in their particular profession; very necessary for the understanding of charters, &c. The fifth edition. Improved from the several works of Stephens, Cooper, Holyoke, and a large ms. in three volumes of John Milton, &c. In the use of all which, for greater exactness, recourse has always been had to the authors themselves. With two maps; one of Italy, another of old Rome.
