Cassell's Standard French Dictionary, Thumb-indexed
"One handles this dictionary with the same pleasure that a craftsman feels when he finds that a tool, dulled and blunted by long use and passage of time, has come back sharpened and polished, refurbished and fit once more for long years of useful service. Everyone has his testing-points for a dictionary and the present reviewer, after submitting this one to the ordeal, awarded it a tentative full marks. Its minor defects pale into insignificance before the scholarly achievement of a work for which the publishers can rightly claim that it is 'the most authoritative, up-to-date and, within the limits of size, the most comprehensive French dictionary available.'" &mdash;The Times Educational Supplement--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
