The French Academy, after five years' consideration, began their dictionary, 7th Febmary 1639, by examining the letter A, which took them nine months to go through. The word Acadernie VMS for some time omitted by oversight. They decided, 8th March 1633, not to cite authorities, and they have since always claimed. the right of -making their own examples. 011ivier 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 teu hours a day, and the manuscript filled tifteeri chests. He gave words of all kinds, especially technical, names of persons and places, and phrases. As a specimen, he pub-lished his Essai, Paris, 1684, 4to ; Amst. 1685, 12mo. The Aca-demy charged him with using the materials they had prepared for their dictionary, and expelled him, 221 January 1685, for plagiarism. He died 14th Slay 168S, in the midst of the consequent controversy and law suit. IIis 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.
