THE

ROYAL PHRASEOLOGICAL FRENCH-ENGLISH AND ENGLISH-FRENCH DICTIONARY.

BY J. C. TARVER, LATE FRENCH MASTER, ETON COLLEGE.

Most readily do we acknowledge the flood of light which has been thrown on French phrases by M. Tarver....His work is really a valuable addition to our Dictionary shelf-the most important shelf in every man's library. The nice skill with which he has compared and contrasted the phrases of the two most influential of modern tongues can hardly be over-praised. Such a book might well deserve a distinct notice; but we are happy to take this opportunity, meantime, of saying that one of the volumes has now been in constant use with us for five years, and we should be at a loss to name another recent one of its class which we have found more useful. The idea was happy, and the execution has been most laudably careful. We have been infinitely obliged to it in reading the lighter French literature of this day-so full of vocables fresh from the mint of camp or guinguette, and lively audacious turns wvavτa σvveToLov, undreamt of by "the forty"-which would have puzzled Voltaire as much as Johnson.'-Quarterly Review.

DULAU AND CO., SOHO SQUARE.

'But the book is one which is sure to be a favourite alike with the more careful and the mere cursory reader. There is much in it for both. It is at once amusing, and at the same time full of information and suggestion.'-Literary Churchman, June 3.
