A DICTIONARY of IDIOMS, French and English.

rules can possibly lit or bind, this work will be found not only
useful as a Dictionary of Reference, but highly important to all
persons who study to speak the language correctly, and to make
themselves acquainted with its critical distinctions. It will be
found particularly useful to young students, by whom portions of
it may be learnt by way of task, and thus the idiom be easily
and progressively acquired.
