Synopsis of the Horatian Metres and a Metrical Key to the Odes of Horace

Printed by G. Woodfall: London 1823

"This substantial early nineteenth-century scholarly volume centres on the Thesauri Linguae Latinae Compendiarii - Pars Altera, a comprehensive Latin lexicon presenting vocabulary, meanings, and classical usages in a dense, multi-column format. Designed as a working reference for students and scholars of classical literature, the text draws extensively on authoritative Latin sources, offering definitions alongside contextual examples from established writers. Although lacking its original title page, or may not have been published with one as no evidence of loss, the internal typography and structure clearly identify it as part of a larger Latin dictionary tradition widely used in academic settings across Europe.

Bound together within the same volume is an additional English-language classical study text, including a Synopsis of the Horatian Metres and a Metrical Key to the Odes of Horace, dated July 10, 1823 and printed in London by G. Woodfall. This supplementary material reflects the educational use of the book, providing guidance on Latin poetic metre and structure, and indicating that the volume likely served as a practical tool for advanced study in Latin language and literature. The combination of lexicon and metrical guide exemplifies the working libraries of students and scholars in the period.

The volume is presented in a full leather binding, now heavily worn with detached covers, surface loss, cracking, and signs of age and use, yet still structurally intact and complete as a working text. Such composite bindings were commonly assembled for personal or institutional use, adding to the historical character of the piece. This volume will appeal to collectors of early classical education texts, Latin language scholars, and those interested in the history of academic study and bookbinding practices."
