Excerpt from Vocabulaire Symbolique Anglo-Français
The principal characteristic of The Symbolic anglo-french Vocabulary is then the representation by its illustrations of various series of familiar objects, arranged according to their nature, and their relationship to each other; thus allowing the understanding to compare them, and to perceive at a glance the differences which distinguish them, as well as to remember them. As regards the text, we have thought it not out of place to give a short outline, at the commencement of each chapter or division, of the subject about to be treated of, in order to render it more instructive, and at the same time to counteract the aridity of a mere classification. In some instances, we have followed this out so as to increase the interest, while showing the precise meaning of the words by assembling them in sentences, carefully avoiding, however, those lists of words which are nearly the same in form and meaning in both languages, and would only needlessly increase the extent of the book  such, for instance, as the geographical divisions, the names of countries and nations, and, in short, all those series purely scientific. We may perhaps incur the blame of not having made the work strictly an elementary one, but we think we have a sufficient excuse in the fact that the book, without being too much lengthened, is thereby rendered more generally useful. We repeat, in Contrary to the method usually followed, this work will offer the advantage of teaching all engaged in the elementary part of the language numerous series of useful words of constant occurrence. The child's portion will naturally be the illustrations, while the older scholar will devote his attention more particularly to the text. In fact, the student of every grade will find easy and useful references in the book, and by its aid all kinds of works, travels, romances, &c., the introductory pages of which are generally so difficult and repulsive, even to an advanced scholar, will be rendered intelligible and amus'ng. With these explanations we leave The Symbolic anglo-fret» h Vocabulary to the judgment of the public.
