Clavis Virgiliana or, a vocabulary of all the words in Virgil's Bucolics, Georgics, and Æneid: In Which I. Each Word is marked with an Accent, to direct the Pronunciation; and its Part of Speech, Declension, Conjugation, &c. are distinguish'd according to Grammar. II. The several Significations of each Word are ascertain'd, as near as the Nature of the English Language will admit. III. These various Significations are reduced into proper Classes; in a different and better Manner than in any Dictionary extant. In the first Class, the original or primary Meaning (if it be so used by this Author) is set down. In the following, the secondary, more distant and figurative Senses are ranged according to their different Removes from the Original. And under each Class, every Passage, where the Word bears the same Sense, is exactly referred to. Compiled out of the best authors on Virgil, by several hands: In a Method entirely New. For the use of schools, And the Improvement of those who have made but a small Progress in the Knowledge of the Latin Tongue
