185 DICTIONARY 185 1613, 4to: Richelct, Geneve, 1680, fol. 2 vols.; ed. Gattel, Paris, 1340, 8vo, 2 vols. The French Academy, after five years consideration, began their dictionary, 7th February 1639, by examining the letter A, which took them nine months to go through. The word Academic was for some time omitted by oversight. They decided, 8th March 1638, not to cite authorities, and they have since always claimed the right of making their own examples. Ollivier justifies them by saying that for eighty years all the best writers belonged to their body, and they could not be expected to cite each other. Their design was to raise the language to its last perfection, and to open a road to reach the highest eloquence. Antoine Furetiere, one of their members, compiled a dictionary which he says cost him forty years labour for ten hours a day, and the manuscript filled fifteen chests. He gave words of all kinds, especially technical, names of persons and places, and phrases. As a specimen, he pub lished his Ussai, Paris, 1684, 4to; Amst. 1685, 12mo. The Aca demy charged him with using the materials they had prepared for their dictionary, and expelled him, 22d January 1685, for plagiarism. He died 14th May 1688, in the midst of the consequent controversy and law suit. His complete work was published, with a preface by Bayle, La Haye and Rotterdam, 1690, fol. 3 vols. ; again edited by Basnage de Beauval, 1701 ; La Haye, 1707, fol. 4 vols. From the edition of 1701 the so-called very popular Dictionnaire de Trevoux, Trevoux, 1704, fol. 2 vols., was made by the Jesuits, who excluded everything that seemed to favour the Calvinism of Basnage. The last of its many editions is Paris, 1771, fol. 8 vols. The Academy s dictionary was first printed Paris, 1694, fol. 2 vols. They began the revision in 1700; second edition 1718, fol. 2 vols.; 3d, 1740, fol. 2 vols. ; 6th, 1835, 2 vols. 4to, reprinted 1855 ; Supplement, by F.
