Notes
|
The one-volume Hachette combines words, names, places and concepts into a
single alphabetical list. Fine illustrations, mostly in color, appear
throughout, although the illustrations do not provide as much lexical
detail as the Larousse. Word definitions come first. They are reasonably
detailed in terms of varieties of usage but not much more detailed than
the Larousse. Beneath the definitions and usages (with a note on the
first recorded appearance of the word) in a box enclosing ENCYCL come the
encyclopedia entries, which are generally short, even in the case of large
concepts. An atlas of better quality than the Larousse appears at the end
of the volume. The miscellany, a section of French verbs, a table of the
elements and items, appears at the beginning of the dictionary.
