I've used this for years, keeping an old copy of it checked out always from the library. It's Smithand Hall's English-Latin Dictionary from 1871. I just realized it's online. You have to use Internet Explorer, and download a little program, but there is *no* better dictionary I've ever seen to go from English into Latin (usually it's the other way around, but not for something like making EB).

The only thing I don't like is the lack of the proper names at the end. They are there in the hardcopy but not here. Place names and people's names.

And by the way there is a great Greek-English dictionary online too:

It's 19th century too, but the revision by Drisler isn't available online - still the original by Yonge is very good too.
