of his father Francis Holyoake, first printed in 1617, and several times reprinted. Thomas died before the publication of
his
Dictionary, which was published by his son Charles (Carolus de Sacra Quercu) and so dedicated by him to Fulke, Lord Brooke, Baron of
Beauchamp, X. Kal. Aug.

Linguæ
Latinae Liber Dictionaribus Quadripartitus. A
Latine Dictionary, in Four Parts. I. An
English-
Latine. II. A
Latine-Classical. III. A
Latine-Proper. IV. A
Latine-Barbarous. Wherein The
Latine and
English are adjusted, with what care might be, both as to Stock of Words and Proprieties of Speech. Particularly, 1. In the
English-
latine, more Words and Proprieties of our Language, as now spoken, are set down, by several Thousands, than in any other Dictionary
yet extant. 2. In the
Latine-classik, the Etymologies, Significances, and Phrases are fully and plainly, yet briefly discoursed; together with the several
Kinds and Constructions of the Verbs; a thing hitherto not much regarded. 3. In the
Latine-proper, the expressions of Story, which were taken mostly out of Cooper, are much amended; and many useful things are now
added, which were frequently omitted; with two Mapps, one of Italy, another of old Rome. 4. In the
Latine-barbarous, those words which through Mistake of writing have been corrupted from the
Latine, or by Ignorance or Boldness of later Authors have crept into the
Latine, are exposed and expounded. And, in all Four Parts, many things that were utterly impertinent and cumbersom to School-Institution
and to the true uses of Learning, are laid aside. Of all which several performances, together with considerable Additions
of new matter by way of Appendage to the main Work, a fuller Account is given in the Prefaces. Operâ & Studio Adami Littleton, S. T. D. Capellani Palatini . . .
