" This work must hâve been one of very great labour, as it is évident! y of deep research. We hâve given it a careful examination, and are periectly sale in saying, we hâve never before seen any thing of the kind at ail to compare with it. Our spaee will n t permit us to give more tban this gênerai testimony to it» value. Long a» the title is, and much as it promises, <ur examination of the work proves that ail the promises are fulfilied, and we think that do student ,î the French language should, for a moment, hesitate to possesa himself of it. Nor, indeed, will it be found less useful to the accomplished French scholar, who will find in it a fond of information which can n -where be met with in any one book. Such a work has fora long time been greatly needed, and Mr. Surenne has supphed the deficiency in a masterly style. We reneat, theref re, our well digested opinion, that no une in seaich of a knowledge of the niceties of the French language, shouJd be without it."

" Every student of the French language, and every peraon of taste who is fond of reading French, and wishes to become proncient in that tongue, should possess this compreiiensive but complète dictionary. It embraces ail the words in corn mon use, and those in science and the fine arts, historical and geographical naine*, etc.. with the pronunciation of every Word according to the French Academy. togetner with such critical remarks as will be useful to every learner. It is pnblished in a fonn of extrême condensation, and yet containssa fuil a compilation of words, définitions, etc., as scarcely to leave any tbing to be desired."
