PREFACE
MODERN study of living languages does not yield in thor-
oughness to that of the classical. Yet, while the more scholarly
Latin and Greek dictionaries used in America are quickened with
the results of recent philological research, no dictionary of a mod-
ern language (saving, conditionally, Whitney's German) is calcu-
lated to satisfy the philological student in the college, much
less in the graduate school. That there is need of a more scho-
lastic work in this line may therefore be asserted without any
implied disparagement whatever of various practical dictionaries,
excellent within their own sphere. This need is especially pro-
nounced for a language which, like the French, can be traced, in the
main, to its source by every student of Latin, and the historical study
of which may thus be to him both a valuable discipline and a
practical aid.
It is in this belief that we have endeavored to prepare a
work embodying:
I. A scholarly and yet thoroughly practical French- English
dictionary, founded upon the highest modern authorities, and
embodying a measurably complete list of modern and obsolescent
French words with their pronunciation, derivation, and earliest
occurrence in the language, as well as their meanings and less
obvious uses; and
II. An English-French dictionary serving the purposes of
French composition and speaking, and containing a sufficient
amount of modern and archaic words with their pronunciation,
and etymologically arranged, to serve the French student of
English.
These general features of the present wbrk are more fully
explained below.
I. THE FRENCH-ENGLISH PART
1* 'Authorities. The main authorities relied upon have been
HatzfeId<Darmesteter-Thomas' "Dictionnaire gnral de la langue
" (to; fascicule 28), and Littr<'s "Piotiortmaire <le la laague
Vi PBBFACB
franQaise." But various other lexical works, such as Scheler's,
Spiers', Thibaut's, Sachs', Roubaud's (Heath's), Webster's and
the Standard dictionaries have been used, and "Romania" and
"Zeitschrift der romanischen Philologie" consulted for the most
recent philological suggestions.
2. Vocabulary. Without any claim to completeness, unattain-
able by even far bulkier works, this dictionary nevertheless
contains a much greater number of French words than ordinary
school dictionaries of its size; and many of these words, recently
become current, are wanting in most large lexical works. The
words have not been compiled promiscuously, but selected on the
joint authority of Hatzfeld-Darmesteter-Thomas (which bids fair
to be the standard dictionary of France) and Littre". Very few
words contained in the former work have been omitted, but
several not found there are included. Numerous proper nouns of
somewhat unfamiliar form, but of ordinary occurrence, have also
been given in the general alphabetical list. The important dis-
tinction between living and obsolete words has been indicated
throughout by the use of a dagger (t) before the obsolete.
3. Irregular forms of inflection have been noted, and where
it seemed advisable (as for the principal parts of the simple irregular
verbs) in alphabetical order. The full conjugation of each irregular
verb is given either directly where the verb occurs, ot by reference.
4. Of French idioms, all that are self -explaining have, as a
rule, been omitted as mere chaff, hiding the grains that are sought
It is different in the French-English part, where any idiomatic
turn of an ordinary expression deserves notice.
5. Pronunciation. Regarding pronunciation, this work,
though using a wholly independent system of presenting it, has
otherwise followed, in the main, that of Hatzfeld-Darmesteter-
Thomas. Only an exceptional use has been made of Michaelis-
Passy's pronouncing vocabulary, which was not published before
our wort was nearing its completion. Fortunately the discrepancies
between the two great authorities are not serious, and the advantage
of following in the main one of them will be readily recognized.
The pronunciation of each word is denoted directly, without
special transliteration, by the aid of subscript diacritical marks
for the less common sounds. The student knowing that all signs
above a letter (and the cedilla) are French, and all others
conventional, will feel at home at once. A glance at tie
PREFACE Vll
French words will show that they are not marred in clearness
by this unobtrusive marking, while their pronunciation stands out
from the more or less unphonetical spelling, forcing itself upon
the attention of the student, who is apt to neglect phonetic respell-
ings. To avoid such complexity and minuteness of marking as
would necessarily defeat its own purpose, some few finer shades
of utterance, as especially the distinction between long and semi-long
quantity, more or less uncertain and wavering (somewhat differ-
ently treated by the two works referred to above, and left
undistinguished in Victor's "Fonetik"), have been omitted. The
Key to our plan of marking the pronunciation is found at the
end of the preface (p, xi).
6. Derivation. The immediate .etymological derivation of
every French word is given, as far as known, within brackets (or,
in case of direct French derivation, indicated, where alphabeti-
cally feasible, by their place under the source-word). When
the derivation is unknown or questionable, this is denoted by
an interrogation-mark, alone or before a suggested etymology.
Hypothetical etymologies are only sparingly resorted to, because
in a work of this kind cautious reserve is preferable to guessing.
Besides the immediate source of the French word, a yet re-
moter source is also denoted in parenthesis whenever this
seems advisable in order to explain the present meaning of
the French word, or to point out a Latin word apt to be more
familiar to the student than the immediate source-word. This
second word is chosen without reference to its immediate or more
remote antecedency to the first. The meaning of the Latin word,
whenever deviating from the French, is given. It is an ana-
chronism to suppose every student to know Latin, and the
etymologies are calculated for all students. For a like reason
Greek words are transliterated. Popular Latin source-words
postulated by philologists are, as usual in such cases, preceded
by an asterisk. Instead of the accusative, from which the French
nouns, etc., are ordinarily derived, the Latin nominative is given.
This will not trouble the Latin student, while it will serve otter
students who may wish to know, in its ordinary form, the Latin
word from which the French is derived. Latin prototypes oi
primitive French words (words marked ) have their long vowel
quantities marked: the popular Latin formay again for practical
ends, without consideration of their gradual siirrc^do^ of * long
PKEFACEJ
quantities, and exchange of quantitative for qualitative differences
(A conversion easily made by the student of French phonetics).
7. Principles of arrangement. The dictionary is entirely
alphabetical. Kindred words following each other are grouped
together. This for three reasons: first, as a means to furnish a
valuable aid of association in acquiring the language, and foster
the etymological sense; second, to avoid needless repetition of
etymologies; third, to save space. This grouping will in nowise
impede the ready use of the dictionary, since the words of each
group stand out boldly, and there is a time-saving element in the
very grouping, which provides for a rapid passing from one set of
forms to another.
The first word of each group is given in full; the following
words are abbreviated as far back as practicable. The division
is marked by a rolled hyphen (~) for the head-word of the
group, and by an ordinary hyphen (-) for the other words.
Besides, to aid the eye in finding the head-word within the group
for it is not necessarily the first word, but the word under
which the etymology is especially treated it is preceded by
double bars (. II ) .
In the division of words, the principles of spelling, pronun-
ciation and space-saving have been reconciled as far as practicable,
to the exclusion of a more etymological division, which is in-
compatible with them, and superfluous in view of the special
statement of etymologies everywhere.
The words are not grouped with reference to immediate deriva-
tion from one another, which would have necessitated very nu-
merous groups, but simply, and as far as it has seemed advisable,
with reference to near relationship of some kind. Hence the
head-word of the group, though often the actual source-word
from which the others are derived, may be simply the word
lying, on the whole, farthest back of them all, or best suited
for explaining the etymology of the group. Yet every word not
directly derived from that head-word, has its immediate etymo-
logical source indicated. The student will thus find not merely
helpful etymological suggestions, but an historically exact etymology
as far as known, for every French word, enabling him to use the
dictionary for scientific purposes, if desirable.
8. Date of occurrence. In addition to the etymology of the
French words, their earliest occurrence in the language is also
PBEFACE AX
indicated. Words of popular Latin origin, brought into Gaul
directly by the Romans (often identical with their classical
types), are followed by a small circle; those introduced later, from
whatever source, by an exponent number denoting the century
of their earliest authenticated appearance in the language (e. g.
abime = ' abime, of direct popular Latin origin'; a"bat 16 'abat,
first known appearance in 1500-1599')* The philological value of
this information needs no demonstration.
9. Definitions. The definitions of the French words, though
not exhaustive, cover all the ordinary meanings, and to a consider-
able extent also such as are more exceptional or technical. The
aim has been, especially for other than source-words, to give
distinct varieties of meaning rather than mere synonyms, which
the student may readily make out for himself. The definitions
are arranged, as far as it has seemed practical, in the sequence of
their historical development, and always so as to show their inter-
relation. Such definitions as for instance Ure^ "be, belong, have,'*
etc. found in much used school- dictionaries are bewildering
and uninstructive to the student, especially where his grammar
furnishes no key to them, which it does in the instance quoted.
An attempt has frequently been made though, as not ar-
ranged for from the beginning, with some discordance for different
letters to indicate the true relation between French and English
cognates or equivalents overlapping each other in meaning, by
parenthesising after the English the meanings covered also by
the French, thus aiding the student not only in selecting the
appropriate rendering, but also in appreciating an interesting
correlation (cf. abandon^ fourche, goutte^ gousset, oeil^ etc.).
English cognates, from whatever source, when not evident at
first sight, are in small capitals, but only once and under the
French source-word, provided an English cognate occurs there,
and in a form sufficiently suggestive also for derivative words,
To denote perfect identity of form, English cognates written
like the French are denoted simply by the sign = .
IL THE ENGLISH-FRENCH PART
This part of the dictionary, though more immediately based
on previous works of a similar scope and purpose than the first,
is arranged, however, like it, to show the etymological kigu^p of
X PEEFACE
the words, as well as their pronunciation. The requirements of
pronunciation and accentual variation have at times necessitated
a less rigorous and complete grouping of related words than in
the first part. Except as suggested by the etymological grouping,
and by French cognates (found for more than half of the English
words), no etymologies have been given, as it would generally
lead to sources unknown by the ordinary student of this part
of the work.
As regards pronunciation, the principle of subscript signs
for sounds deviating from the ordinary has been followed also
here, except for the tone-vowel, which always has a sign over
it, this being the easiest way of denoting the shifting English
accent. To avoid a confusing multitude of signs, the many varying
shades of toneless vowels are marked only when distinctly deviating
from the ordinary or neutral sound (of. further the table below),
and the palatal n only when the following g is silent. Though
the marking might have been more detailed here, the greater
gain has seemed to be attained on the whole by greater simplicity;
and it is believed that any one familiar with the rudiments of
English pronunciation will be amply helped by the system here
adopted.
The work on this dictionary has been divided between its
authors in such a way that Mr. Edgren, besides its general plan-
ning, has prepared the letters A, D, E (part of this letter with
the assistance of Dr. M. Osterholm), G, H> I, J, K, 0, Q, R, T,
U, V of the French-English Part, and all of the English-French
Part; and Mr. Burnet the letters B, C, F, L, M, N, P, S, W, X,
Y, Z of the French-English Part.
If, in spite of frequent conferences on all points of detail,
some discrepancies are found in the execution, it is believed that
they are all of minor consequence. And the authors now submit
their work to the public in the hope that, though it have not
attained a result adequate to their aim, nor their liberal outlay
of time and labor, it may, however, contribute its share to both
a practical and scholastic study of a language of the greatest
cultural and philological interest.

B.
PRONUNCIATION
I. FRENCH
As no description of linguistic sounds, however detailed, can satisfactorily
teach to the student untrained in phonetics their reproduction, the subjoined list gives
but the briefest hints of the approximate English equivalents of the French sounds.
The best way of acquiring their exact utterance is to learn from a competent person
the pronunciation of the French key-words in the list.
1. All signs above a letter, and the cedilla ( A ), are genuine French signs, and not
to be considered in the pronunciation, except for e, which is constantly = e, and 5,
always = *.
2. Other signs are conventional, to denote pronunciation.
3. Short quantity is unmarked. Long is marked by the usual long quantity mark
placed below its vowel (s), and above any other subscript sign (cf. 8 below). Medial
quantity is unmarked (cf . Preface, p. vii) ; but the student may remember that a long
thematic accent-vowel is ordinarily semi-long in a protonic syllable (rose, rose).
4. Silent letters are in heavy italics (e.g. le$ = le, dette = dett, $rt = %,
fllle = f |1, Slev^r = elve).
5. French always accents the last or only fully pronounced vowel of the word
(donnoV, &'m.e).
6. The pronunciation of the repeated part of the first word of a group applies to
all the words of the group, observing that long quantity belongs only to accent syl-
lables (cf. 3).
Observing these principles, our system of marking the French pronunciation is as
follows :
7. SIMPLE VOWELS (cf. 1, 3, above)
a = open a of Eng. calf (Webster) : la, a ( 1)
a = close a (nearly as in Eng./ar) ; . bas (4), &me (1, 4)
a nasal a (a. with nasal resonance) : *m, danse (3)
e = open e in Eng. met: matte, meme (1, 3)
e or 6 = close e (approaching e in they; e of Germ.
*ehr t but short) ; donner (4, 5), t
(*e mute') = e in Eng. proclitic tht : IB, msner (4, 5)
$ =3 nasal open e (e with nasal reson ince) :..... feign

y = Fr. i (cf. above) : . . . ' ........ y, analyse (3)
y = nasal i (cf . above) : , , , , ....... syntaxe, njmphe (3)
8. VOWEL- COMPOUNDS (cf. 1, 3, above)

au = close Fr. o (cf . above) : .......... au, aune (3)
ay = Fr. e-y: ............... payer (p$-y$)
ei = open Fr. e (cf . above) : .......... peine, reitre (3)
eu = open Fr. e with rounded lips (Germ, open o; near u
in Eng. /w): ............ seul, jeune (1, 3)
en == Fr. eu, close (Germ, close o): ....... feu, heureusc (3)
oi (not ol ) = Eng. wa- in wag (Fr. ou&) : ..... moi, bolre (3)
qi = Eng. wa- in wattle (Fr. o^a) : ........ bqis, orqitre (1, 3)
oi = Fr. oi (w|., Eng. w} : ..... ..... moiis, mo|ndre (3)

= Eng. w, before vowel : .......... out
9y = Eng. w&y- (Fr. oi'y) : ..........
ny = Fr. ui'y- : ..............
In other vowel-compounds, unless differently marked, each, or the extra, vowel has
its own sound (slightly dimmed as initial): noel, 7ta-ir, a-ere ; -eM-ourme, lu-eur,
lou-er ; ou-i.
9. LONG VOWELS OK DIGRAPHS
These, as already indicated ( 3, and in the examples above), are denoted by the
sign _ placed below the vowel(s), but above the subscript sign: a, a ($), ^ j (,),
9, 5, etc. ; ai ; eu, u, etc.
10. CONSONANTS
Those not given below are pronounced as in English, observing that mutes before
a vowel are less forcible, but before another consonant more distinct than in English j
and that d t t are more dental.

PBONUNCIATIOBT Xlll
II. ANGLAIS
B3F* Attendu qu'aucune description de sons linguistiques, quelque de'taille'e qu'elle
soit, ne pourrait les enseigner entierement a l'<5tudiant sans connaissances phone'tiques,
la liste ci-desscms ne donne que quelques indications approximatives de la nature des
sons anglais. Pour les connaitre parfaitement il faudra bien apprendre les exemples
anglais de la liste.
1. Le son de la voyelle tonique (accentuee) est marque" au-dessus d'elle. Les
autres signes de prononciation sont en regie places au-dessous de leur lettre (excepte"
pour <e, th, voy. plus bas) : accumulate.
2. Les lettres muettes sont imprimees en italiques grasses: able, fatten,
th.6u<77t, c/tronique,
3. Les voyelles atones non marquees se prononcent comme celles de signe court
(a, e, etc.), quoique moins distinctement, s'approchant souvent de Ye muet en frangais
(ainsi dans les desinences -er, -or, -ar, -on, -or ou -our). Celles qui ont un signe se
prononcent comme les voyelles toniques du meme signe, mais moins distinctement, et en
ge'ne'ral sans Vappendice glissant ("glide") de celles-ci.
4. L'accent anglais, ordinairement descendant, est variable, et ne porfce que rare-
ment sur la derniere syllabe. II est plus 6nergique que P accent frangais, obscurcissant
ainsi plus ou moins l'e"nonciation nette des syllabes atones.
5. La prononciation des mots repet6s n'est pas marquee, excepte pour des raisons
specielles.
Observant ces principes, voici notre syste"me de designer la prononciation anglaise :
6. VOYELLES
a (aton. a) = a de la (frangais), tirant sur e: . . . at; attain ( 1)
a (a) = e 1 (6 glissant en i, 3) : ale, fain ; emulate (1, 2)
a =r de la: ask, dan-ee
4 = de bas, plus guttural : art, father ; arca'de
a (a) = 5 angl,, tirant sur au ouvert : all; althxm07t
a =6 anglais : iwas, quality
a = ai de/aire; care, fair
e (e) = e de mette (e + r = e muet) : .... met, letter
e (e) = i d'iZe: , . . . . me, seen; c6norete
e = a anglais : prei/, v^in
e = a anglais : ........... there, heir
6 () = eu de leur: Srr, earn; fertility
ew = you: few
i (i) s= i d'iJ, tirant sur e: it, bitter; cabin
i (|) = &y anglais :...**...*.. mine, aisle ; idea
i = i d'iZe; pique, mien
J (4) = e () anglais : fir, bird ; tapir
5 (o) =o de/o^e, tirant sur a angl.: <idd, fftlly ; oppress
6 (o) =o de rose, glissant en ou, 3) : . . , . rose, roo-m ; poetic (3)
6 = a angl. (ou tirant sur 6 angl.) : , , , , drb ; morta'lity
6 = o en donne (Paris) = u angl' ; , . . . d6ne, 16ve
<fr (o) rs ou long de blouse : . , , > . . . . m6ve, f6ol ;
6 as ou bref de/ou^e , f . , , , . . . w61f, f 6ot

PRONUNCIATION
oi = a'y anglais : oil
ou, ow = au anglais : foul, owl
u (u) =o de donne (Paris : o bref tirant sur eu) : . up, but ; submit
qu = ku (kw) anglais: quarrel, conquest
u. (u) = you (aprSs d, , 5, Z, presque = ou) ; . . use, pure t duke ; unite
u =6 anglais : . rule v ruin
u (u) = ou bref de/o^Ze: full, hateful
u (u) =6 anglais : urn, overturn
y (y) =r i (i) anglais : , . . mystic, pity
y(y) = i(i) anglais: * . . . style; mysti%
6. CONSONNES
Les consonnes omises de la liste se prononcent en pratique comme en frangais.
Observez pourtant que les plosives (k, t, p ; g, d, b) sont enonce"es avec plus d'emphase
(d' aspiration) devant une voyelle, mais moins distinctement devant une autre consonne ;
que les sonnantes (g, d, 6, v t z) finales sont moins sonnantes qu'en anglais ; et que d, t
sont formes centre le palais ante"rieur.
c = k: cart
e = s de son: -cell
o = ch en cher: ferocious
oh = tch (le tout plus pa-
latal): . chap, chest, church
eh = sh anglais : -eharade
g = g de garde: game
^j = j anglais: gem, gist
n = h, distinctem. aspir : have
j = dj- ftadjoint (mais j
plus uni, et plus pa-
latal) : joke
n = n form^ contre le pa-
lais posterieur : . . song, 16ving
