The great French dictionary. . In two parts. The first, French and English; the second, English and French; according to the ancient and modern orthography. Wherein each language is set forth in its greatest latitude: the various senses of words, both proper and figurative, are orderly digested; and illustrated with apposite phrases, and proverbs: the hard words explained; and the proprieties adjusted. To which are prefixed the grounds of both languages, in two grammatical discourses; the one English, and the other French.
