This dictionary was designed for use in schools and in teaching the formal use of both English and Latin for formal composition.[1] The abridgment omits full verb declination instead focusing on a more efficient presentation of the verb form and a description of the pattern it follows.[2] This was done for pedagogical purposes, to attempt to force students to remember the declination and verb forms of the Latin they had to learn.[3]
