 guide for the arrangement of the words. 



The sources used by the authors of the ten works which I consider 

 absolutely necessary for the compilation of a reliable dictionary of the

 no longer exist ; others are only to be found in the libraries of Europe. 

 The abbreviations in the following alphabetical list of the sources of 

 the ten shew by whom they were used.
