A Cornish Dictionary,

A Cornish dictionary in the hand of Edward Lhuyd containing Cornish-English vocabulary and phrases, with some translations into Latin.
This is evidently the work referred to by Edward Lhuyd on p. 253 of the Archæologica Britannica: 'Looking over these Sheets of the Cornish Grammar; I find 1st. that I must recal the promise made of a Cornish-English Vocabulary. I have one by me, written about six years since, and have lately improv'd it with what Additions I could; But there being no room for it in this Volume ... it must be deferred to the next.'

Edward Lhuyd.
