_For the sake of the many private students who, not having had the benefit of a regular classical education, are pursuing their studies under great disadvantages, a Parsing Index is appended which gives the form of all the words as they occur in the Testament, with a reference to the word from which they are derived._ "Making use of the well-directed labour and well-earned fame of Dr. Robinson's 'Lexicon,' an English editor prepares this condensed work for the use of schools and students. Utility is the main object aimed at, so far as the young scholar is concerned, and therefore those parts of the original work are most fully given which are most essential to those who are only learners. Thus the inflexions of all verbs in any degree irregular appear in their orders, and in an appendix a copious parsing index is given. "Dr. Robinson's Lexicon aimed at being also a concordance, and almost all passages of importance were referred to under each word; here there is only a selection of those references thought either most striking or most varied. In general, the editing of the work manifests judgment, and in some points, special care has been bestowed; as in the Explanations and Illustrations of the use of the Particles--a subject in which English-Greek Lexicons are usually deficient. For those who have only a slight knowledge of the Greek language, no Lexicon will be found more useful than 'Robinson's Lexicon Condensed.'"--_Literary Gazette_, Nov. 22. 1851. "This is a well-executed and useful condensation of the last edition of Dr. Robinson's excellent Lexicon. The abridgment has been mainly effected by the reduction of the number of examples given in the larger work. Dr. Robinson aimed to make his book not merely a Lexicon, but a Concordance; and, therefore prints far more examples (where they exist) than is necessary to elucidate the meaning or construction: _e.g._, if the phrase occurs six or eight times, he cites every passage containing it. Whatever advantage this plan might possess in the original work, it could not be suited to one intended mainly for learners; the present editor has, therefore, found the chief opportunity for the exercise of his judgment in the selection from them of the examples really necessary, apart from the idea of making the work a concordance, and this task seems to have been executed by a skillful hand; and notwithstanding the great reduction of bulk and, consequently, of cost, the work remains quite adequate for the purposes of learners and school purposes, and is, indeed, the best adapted to this use of any that has fallen under our notice. A serviceable Parsing Index is appended, extending to fifty-five pages. This is a feature only to be found in 'Dawson's Lexicon' which is useless as a help to the critical study of the New Testament."--_Kitto's Journal of Sacred Literature._
