High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Ainsworth (September 1660 4 April 1743) was an English Latin lexicographer, and author of the well-known compendious Dictionary of the Latin Tongue. He was born at Eccles, near Salford, Lancashire in September 1660. After he had finished his own education, he commenced as schoolmaster at Bolton; from there he went to London; and at Bethnal Green, Hackney, and other suburban villages, continued to keep a school, until he was fortunate enough to realize a competency, some years before his death. In 1736, after about twenty years' labour, he published his great work, with a dedication to Dr. Mead, and a preface explaining his reasons for undertaking it. Improved editions by Patrick, Ward, Young, and Morell have successively appeared; Ward and Young's (1752) in folio, the others in 4to. Dr. Carey's (1816) is a more recent version, and has been esteemed as one of the best. There are also abridgments by Young and Morell.
