_French._--The Dictionaries of Fleming and Tibbins, and
Spiers, keep up their character, but for idioms the
International French and English Dictionary of Hamilton and
Legros is the best. For smaller Dictionaries Cassell's is
both cheap and good. Bellows's Pocket Dictionary has
obtained considerable fame, but those who use it need a good
eyesight on account of the smallness of the type. It is,
however, beautifully printed. The Standard French
Dictionaries of that language alone are the noble work of
Littre and the excellent Dictionary of Poitevin (2 vols.
4to.). For early French Godefroy's elaborate work, which is
now in progress, must be consulted.

_German._--Fluegel's German and English Dictionary still
holds its own, but Koehler's Dictionary is also excellent.
Hilpert's and Lucas's Dictionaries, both good ones, are now
out of print. Of Standard German Dictionaries Grimm's great
work is still in progress. Sanders's Dictionary is also of
great value.

_Danish and Norwegian._--The Dictionary by Ferrall, Repp,
Rosing and Larsen is good.

_Dutch._--Calisch (2 vols. 8vo. 1875).

_Hebrew._--Fuerst, Gesenius.

_Icelandic._--Vigfusson.

_Italian._--Baretti's Dictionary still keeps up its
character, but Millhouse's work is also good.

_Portuguese._--Vieyra.

_Russian._--Alexandrow.

_Sanscrit._--Monier Williams. Boehtlingk and Roth.

_Pali._--Childers.

_Spanish._--Neumann and Baretti, and also Velasquez.

_Swedish._--Oman.
