"This little Classical Dictionary is, in the main, a reprint of Dr. Smith's Dictionary published many years ago. But a considerable amount of revisioin has been made; a few of the longer articles appear exactly in the form in which they originally appear; and a great deal of new matter has been iintroduced in order to bring the work up to date, as far as was consistent with the publishers' plan of including in Everyman's Library a short and concise companion to the classics."
