DESCRIPTION
A two volume French-English and English-French dictionary compiled by lexicographer Abel Boyer.
Best known for this reference work originally published in 1699, the dictionary has been the basis of many subsequence French-English dictionaries. The fifteenth edition includes accents of both English an French words to facilitate pronunciation, as well as new maritime words, and an alphabetical table of English particles.

The rear hinge is starting, but firm to volume II. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned but generally clean throughout.
