Vol. 1. containing 480 pages, closely printed in double columns, £1. 1s

“ This promises to be a most useful work. Mr. Halliwell is, we must acknowledge, as well qualified, by industry, ability, and previous study, to be the editor, as any man living. We could indeed easily name a dozen persons, each of whoin would be better qualified for particular departments, but not one who, including the whole range embraced by the title, would have the ability and energy to go through all the drudging duties of the office more satisfactorily. It is a work,however, that, in the first instance, must be imperfect. We hold, therefore, that every English scholar should have an interleaved copy, that he may contribute a something towards improving a second edition, The first number appears to have been carefully compiled; but we are not inclined to seek very curiously for faults in a work of such obvious difficulty, when, even if it be imperfect, it cannot fail to be useful."
