Livre Edition originale
Cloth, 8vo, 27 cm, unpaginated, approximately 72 pp. 698 entries. From the introduction: "Contrary to common practice, this dictionary contains as few words as possible. I have limited the terms, to those used by antiquarian booksellers, which are not to be found in the usual bilingual, trilingual, or multilingual dictionaries. I have made an exception for those words which are found in some dictionaries and for which an equivalent single term, or the idea, does not exist in the other languages. I have given a definition, or an equivalent, and in some cases had to invent one, which I hope might be adopted by the international booktrade. For the selection I have used the catalogues of fellow antiquarian booksellers, existing dictionaries, personal knowledge, and anything I picked up at random. My aim has been to make a dictionary without complications, easy to use, making quick checks possible. The choice of four languages was a matter of expediency. I hope that other languages will follow (in supplements or separate parts). The ground has been laid." Very Good.
