DICTIONNAIRE NATIONAL;
Or, GRAND CRITICAL DICTIONARY of the
FRENCH LANGUAGE.
By BESCHERELLE, Aine, of the Library of the Louvre,
Author of the " Grammaire Nationale," and Member of several

Learned Societies.
This new and most valuable work, which when completed, will
form two splendid large quarto volumes, of four columns, containing
more matter than four volumes of " Le Dictionnaire Landais," is now
issuing from the press in half-sheet numbers, three numbers being
published weekly.
Founded on the authority of the most celebrated anthors, and corn
prising for the first time not only all the words lately introduced into
circulation by the Press, but also Geography, llistory, Biography,
&c., &c., together with the Critical and Analytical Notes of the most
esteemed Dictionaries (such as those of the Academy, of Laveaux, of
Boisto, and of Napoleon Landais).
Le Dictionnaire National is designed to be a work eminently clas-
sical, and more correct, ample, and complete, than any other Dic-
tionary that exists.
It is computed that the whole work will be completed in fifteen
months, and in four hundred numbers ; but should any numbers issue
exceeding the four hundred, they will be delivered gratis. Ills
Majesty the King of the French has honoured the "Dictionnaire
National " by becoming a subscriber to it.
N.B. A re-impression is ready of the thirty-eight first numbers,
printed in four columns instead of two, and in a new and beautiful
type, containing 150,000 letters to the sheet.
