dictionaries, but cheaper and at the same time more practical ones than
any that have yet been published. These are intended primarily for the
use of travelers and of those who require a foreign dictionary that is
reliable, up-to-date, handy in form, cheap and in which any sought for
word can be found quickly and easily.
The books are printed on good paper and the type is large enough not to
try the eyesight and the information that is wanted is not hidden away
amongst thousands of more or less useless words.

Transcriber's Notes:
Italic text is denoted by _underscores_.
Every effort has been made to replicate this text as faithfully as
possible, including obsolete and variant spellings.
Obvious misspellings, minor punctuation and printer errors and
inconsistencies repaired.
Some fractions were formatted in the original text with hyphens (for
example, 9-16 for 9/16). These are left as printed, with hyphen instead
of slash.
Entries in index that were not in alphabetical order in the original
were reordered alphabetically.
On page 118: The text appears to be using “knots” to mean “nautical
miles”. Left as printed.
