STAY CLAM AND SAVE THE BOOKS
The Dictionnaire de la langue française by Émile Littré, commonly called simply the "Littré", is a four-volume dictionary of the French language published in Paris by Hachette. The dictionaries originally issued in 30 parts, 1863–72; a second edition is dated 1872–77.
Originally published: 1863
These are the original editions sent to me from the publishing company. Hachette in Paris, France. Émile Littré spent thirty years of his life compiling his dictionary. Each word has a history. For me to read it, I have to use a translating website. But my main objective was to save this treasure of literature.
Littré started work on his great Dictionnaire de la langue française in about 1844, which was not to be completed until thirty years later.
