Book Description
Excerpt from A Glossary of French Slang The following glossary will be found to contain the great bulk of words - or word-uses - belonging to that ill-defined region of the French language commonly referred to as 'popular' or slang, including the majority of the so-called War terms. A number of words and phrases now probably obsolete or obsolescent have been included for the reason that the authors in whose pages they are to be found continue to be read and enjoyed. Much that is low and vulgar has of necessity been granted right of place; words merely obscene, however, have been denied an entry. I have tried, by cross-references and comparisons with English and sometimes with German, and by supplying English equivalents whenever I was able, to make this book something more than a mere glossary. While it is intended in the first place as an aid to the reader of modern French literature, I am not without hope that it may prove of use also to the philologist, and now and again throw an interesting light on the psychology of the French and of the English-speaking races. I wish to point out, however, that this book has not been compiled to enable the reader to indulge in a wealth of 'idiomatic' French.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Dictionary of Idioms, French and English For a nation so highly cultivated as the French, and possessed of knowledge so extensive, as well as diversi fied, the language is far from being copious. Hence many a single word is used under various acceptations, and several terms are very ofm.' employed to express a single idea. Every meaning of a single word, ithat is peculiar to any tongue, may be called an idiomatic usage, but a combination of terms, constantly conveying the same import, constitutes what is commonly meant by idiom. Those combinations, however, which writers, make use of to give agreeable turns to phrases, are not idioms.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Idioms With Their French Translation As this volume has been prepared especially with the view of enabling the American to translate his own language into grammatical, idiomatical, written and colloquial French, and of rendering it equally useful for the library, the parlor, and the counting-house, as well as the school-room, such phrases have been selected in preference as relate to literature, the fine arts, and commerce, besides conversational expressions, and terms of etiquette in established use. These have been carefully classified and translated into French, according to the rules of Grammar and the usage of polite society; in such cases, when the sense is liable to be affected by the context or circumstances, the translation is made in as many forms or synonymous expressions as are necessary to illustrate the various shades of meaning in which the term may occur.
