Abstract
THIS volume is the first of a series intended to aid engineers and others in reading technical works in any of the principal modern languages. Terms of general importance only are included; they are classified into subjects and many are accompanied by an explanatory sketch. Formulæ and symbols, serving as they do the purpose of an international language, are introduced wherever possible. The translations have been tested in workshops and offices in the various countries represented; so the work ought to prove of service in reading technical literature. The convenient pocket size of the dictionary, the systematic arrangement of its matter, and the full alphabetical index of words in each of the six languages should gain for it a sphere of usefulness among technical students.
