Description:
Paris, France: Paul Ollendorff, 1896. FIRST EDITION. Leather_bound. Very Good Minus. Essentially, a Slang-French/French-Slang Dictionary. Preface by Jean Rechepin. Half-bound calf over lovely marbled boards, with non-pareil-style marbling to endpapers. Book measures approximately 9" x 5.75". Rubbing and crazing to leather, particularly to joings and spine with a .25" tear at top of spine, which has five raised bands, and gilt lettering of author, title, and (at bottom), date. Corners rubbed through to board, age tanning to pages, and fore-edge and tail untrimmed. Very solidly bound. Braunholtz's Books of Reference for Students and Teachers of French: A Critical Survey (p. 58, MacMillan & Bowes, 1901)) called Delesalle's slang dictionary the best of those available, but even then, not satisfactory.

Description:
Petaluma, California: Nilgiri Press, 1970. FIRST EDITION (NAP). Hardcover. Very Good Plus. 8vo. Blue-grey boards with like lettering upon a gold background, against a field of Sanskrit lines. Very light rubbing to extremities and a few light smudges to exterior. "...The word SANSKRIT literally means 'perfected,' 'polished,' and it is a sophisticated language, based upon a complex system of roots and derivations. The entire Sanskrit language, including root lists and derivations, we described in amazing detail...by the Indian grammatical genius Panini, who demonstrated that the majority of Sanskrit words can be derived from a fixed number of roots...But though Sanskrit is a refined and literary language, it is also capable of communicating in a direct practical manner the important facts of the spiritual life. Not only poets but the most practical saints have been devoted to Sanskrit..."
