Homonyma Lingua. Latina , is a collection of about fifteen hun-
dred words in the Latin language, which bear a resemblance more or less close to each other in sound, though they differ in sense. The compiler, Mr. CARR, the author of the Manu,:l of Roman Antiquities, has followed an alphabetical arrangement; by which means, a doubtful word can always be found without trouble, whenever the pupil is puzzled in the course of his reading. He has also added the derivation, the English meaning, and when any such exists, the points of diareLce, whether in quantity or what not, between the apparent synony ins. As a book for refe- rence or inspection, it is highly useful to 'all Latinists; but by quoting sentences forming an intelligible i whole for examples, IVIr. CARR has compiled a series of short construing lessons, which, whosoever goes through, will not only have acquired a good knowledge of Latin synonyms, but have made sonic progress in a general acquaintance with the language.
