Excerpt from An Italian Dictionary I. The design of this book is to meet the requirements of an English student of Italian rather than those of an Italian student of English. The english-italian vocabulary is merely for the practical convenience of English-speaking people who may have occasion to speak or write in Italian. Obsolete words have therefore been excluded from this part-of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
