Sixteenth edition of Greenwood's earliest published work, an English-Latin vocabulary possibly first printed in 1711.

All early editions are scarce; the earliest recorded is the third edition of 1713.

I have therefore, in the present Vocabulary, avoided every Thing that is not of immediate Use, as Foreign to the Design; and industriously omitted that vast heap of Words with which our common Word Books do so frequently swell" (preface).
