Abstract
AI at the beginning. The title probably describes the book's method better than I can. The Words of the AUTHOR are placed according to their Grammatical Construction beneath every Fable: the Rhetorical Figures also as they occur: And to make the Pronunciation easy, all Words of above two Syllables are marked with proper Accents. A Collection also of Idioms and Phrases in PHAEDRUS, and all the Proverbial Mottos to the Fables, with the English Phrases and Proverbs answerable, are set over against them. And lastly, an Alphabetical Vocabulary of all the Words in the Author, shewing their Parts of Speech and Signification; to which are added, the Themes of the Verbs, with their Government. Whew! That is what the book does. And it is helpful. The figures of speech are footnoted. The Collection of Proverbial Mottos in the first appendix should be helpful: a bilingual list of appropriate morals for each of the fables. Then comes a list, poem by poem, of Latin colloquial phrases with an appropriate translation. The vocabulary seems comprehensive, and the layout of principal parts of the verbs exhaustive. A very nice find occasioned by my purchasing something else from Shelley.
