1st edition published 1911, 2nd 1948

The first edition of this Dictionary, which was also the first of its kind, has been out of print for very many years. This present edition, however, is in effect a completely new work as, although it incorporates all the words and phrases which appeared in its predecessor, the considerabIy increased number of words and phrases now included has enlarged it to approximately three times its original content.

Further, not only have many of the previous definitions been recast, expanded, and, where necessary, simplified, but numerous additions have been made to the equivalents in Scots Law terminology.

It is hoped that the work as it now stands will be of greater value not only to the student and reader of the French Codes and French legal textbooks, but also to those who may have occasion deal with the intricacies of French law in general for professional and educational purposes.
