PREFACE
The present work is the response to a demand (not at all anticipated) for a French companion to the author's '' German-English Dictionary for Chemists/' It follows the plan of the earlier book, which seems to have met with general favor.
Prof. F. W. Tanner of the University of Illinois has read the galley proof and added a number of biological terms^ and Prof. Frank Vogel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has read the page proofs and the manuscript of the Intro- duction and has also contributed the general statement prefacing the " Conju- gation of French Verbs.'' The author is likewise under obligation to Prof. C, W. Foulk, Mr. E. J. Crane and Dr. Maurice L. Dolt, and to numerous other friends who have given opinions or answered queries.
Reference works chiefly consulted: General j Clifton-Grimaux-McLaughlin, French-English Dictionary; the Larousse dictionaries, especially the latest, " Larousse pour tous." Technical^ Répertoire technologique des noms d'indus- tries et de professions (by French Government officials); Willcox, French-English Military Technical Dictionary; De Méric, Dictionnaire des termes de médecine. The material has been rather scattered, consequently a large proportion has been obtained by the reading of books, catalogs and journals.
A really good dictionary is a growth. No one can realisse as well as the author how incomplete the vocabulary of this one still is. The very helpful corre- spondence regarding errors and omissions in the German-Enghsh dictionary leads to the hope that readers will go to the same trouble in this case.

INTRODUCTION
Thanks to the many words which French and English have in common and to the wonderful clarity of French expression, the beginner usually finds it easier to learn to read French than Grerman, especially if he has studied Latin to some account. Separable prefixes, involved sentence order and a certain well known " longwordformingtendency " are not there to trouble him. Chemi- cal names do not present great difficulty. Nevertheless there are pitfalls, such as the numerous idiomatic phrases, the irregular verb forms and the words which, tho posing as old friends, do not mean just what they ought to! These matters the author has tried to keep in mind in the preparation of the dictionary. The following notes may be of assistance in the use of the vocabulary.
Phrases. A large number of phrases has beeù included. As a rule, a phrase is entered under the first important word which occurs in it, preposi- tions, conjunctions and articles being passed by (en détail under détail^ tout d^un coup under tout, etc.).
Verbs. Conjugations of typical regular verbs have been placed at the end of the Introduction in the hope that this may save references to a grammar. Irregular verb forms which are likely to appear in scientific literature are given where they are most needed, i.e., in the vocabulary under their own spellings, and not safely concealed under the parent verb.
General Words. A general vocabulary superior to that of many pocket dictionaries is included with the technical words. The special chemical mean- ing of a general word is ordinarily placed first.
Words Common to French and English. Words of the same or nearly the same spelling in the two languages are defined even when the meaning is exactly the same as in English. Manifestly, these words are only a selection from among those which might have been included. Especially is this true of the names of chemical compounds.
Derived Words. As a space-saving device the meanings of many words are merely indicated, reference being made to another word which is fully defined. For example, several senses of the verb brasser (to stir) are given. A listing of all the corresponding meanings of the noim brassage is avoided by using for the latter word the form " stirring, etc. (see brasser) .*' Participles and participial adjectives are often treated in the same way.
Feminine Forms. These are not given except in special cases. The usual sign of ih3 feminine is the letter e; thus, gris (gray) becomes grise in the femi-
vii
viii INTRODUCTION
nine singular, while netUre (neutral) which ends in « in the masculine form remains unchanged in the feminine. The following irregularities should be noted:
-¥e (fem.) corresponding to «f (masc.); as, actif, active.
•se " " -x; as, nitreux, nitreuse.
•se " " -r; as, trompeur, trompeuse,
-che " " -c; as, blancy blanche,
-que " " -c; as, turc, turque,
-gue " " -g; as, long, longue,
«trice " " •teur; as, indicateur, indicatrice.
Doubling of the final consonant; as, gros, grosse,
niiral Forms. The regular formation of the plural is by addition of « to the singular. Departures from this rule are:
-aux (pi.) corresponding to -al» -aO or -au (sing.); as, égal, égaux, -eaux ** " -eau; as, noiweau, nouveaux.
-eux " " -eu; sa, feu, feux,
-oux *^ " -ou; as, catUou, caiUoux.
Nouns ending in -s, -x and -z imd masculine adjectives ending in s and -x in the singular are unchanged in the plural.
Nouns Used as Adjectives. French differs from English in its adjectival use of nouns. In some instances the use is the same; as, odeur ether, ether odor; solution Vilas, lilac solution. For the most part, however, French nouns used as adjectives might be construed as in apposition; as, chimiste ingénieur, chemical engineer; tube séparateur, separating tube. On the other hand such TCngliah expressions as ** sodium chloride " (chlorure de sodium) and ''gun steel " (flcier à canon) require the use of a preposition when rendered into French.
Inorganic Nomenclature. Most inorganic names are readily translated from French into English as soon as one learns that -ure corresponds to the English -ide; -dque to -ic; and -eux (fem. -euse) to -ous.
Names of hydracids differ in construction from the English names; as, chlorhydrique, hydrochloric.
Names of salts containing the preposition de should not invariably be trans- lated by using ''of.'' For example, while acétate de cuivre is correctly trans- lated " acetate of copper " the form '* copper acetate " is more frequent.
Apparently, the older fashion of naming salts from the bases instead of the metals (as carbonate de soude, carbonate of soda) is more persistent in French than in English, hence in many cases it would be well to use the modem form (in this case, sodium carbonate) in translating them.
Organic Nomenclature. The use of adjectives in French organic names, instead of a combining form as in English and German, oopy ^l^pf|^; thus
ORGANIC TERMS ix
the oompoimd CeEUCls (dichlorobenzene) is often called benzhie (or henzLne) dichbre, although dichlorobenzene and even the Germanism diMorbemol also occur.
Names of esters are found in which the name of the alcohol radical is pre- fixed to the name of the add; as, ether amylacétigue. This should be rendered "amyl acetate" rather than "amylacetic ester" or "amylacetic ether" if the compound CHs(X)tC(Hu is meant, and other cases should be treated similarly.
Words ending in -dgue are used in a general descriptive sense more frequently than the corresponding English words in -ic; herhérinique, for instance, would be properly translated " berberinic " if designating an acid, but it often means simply "of berberine" or **berberine"; as, sels berbériniquesy berberine salts.
German names ending in -insàure may usually be translated into French and English in two ways, that is, as acide -inique (-inic acid) or as acide -ique (-ic add); and it sometimes happens that the one alternative is chosen inJPrench, the other in English. For example the compound named Levulinsaure is usually called levulinic add in English while in French the form adde Uwlique seems to be the more common. Such differences are not numerous.
In order to have names which are in accord with the usage of the American Chemical Sodety as embodied in the ** Directions to Abstractors " the follow- ing rules (which also harmonize well with the best usage in Great Britain) should be observed. They are not necessarily to be applied to names of phar- maceuticals and dyes, and possibly some exceptions should be allowed for commercial use only, as glycerin instead of glycerol. Differences between trade and scientific usage are alwajrs to be regretted.
(1) Translate oxy- by hydroxy- when it designates hydroxyl, as is commonly the case in organic names. When oxy- designates the ketonic group (CO) it is preferably translated keU)-,
(2) Translate names of compounds the chief function of which is alcohoHc or phenolic so that the name ends in -oZ; as, ^ycerol, resorcinol, mannitol, pinacol (not pinaoone).
(3) When the French ending -oi does not indicate hydroxyl it should be trandated -cHe (as, anisole, indole), or in the case of a few hydrocarbons -em (as henzoly benzene; toluolf toluene; styroly styrene).
(4) The ending -ine or -in should be translated -ine in the case of basic sub- stances and -in elsewhere; as, aniline, glycine, palmitin, albiunin. Exceptions are hen^ne (meaning benzene) and the names of alcohols and phenols (see (2)).
(5) The form amido- should be so translated only when it denotes combina- tion with an add group. Usually it is to be translated amino-; as, acide amir dopropionique, aminopropionic acid; amidophénoly aminophenol. The same holds for imido-, anilido-, etc.
(6) In such combining forms as bromo-, cyano-, cUoto-, nitro-, etc., when they denote substituting radicals, the connective o is to be used invariably; as
X INTRODUCTION
chhrobenzène or ddorbembne, chlorobenzene; acide chloracétiquey chloroacetic acid. This usage is by no means universal, but those who cannot reconcile themselves to such spellings as *' bromoacetic '' should at least avoid the German forms bromphenol, acetphenetidine, etc., by using the connective o before consonants. (French literature does not contain so many of these objectionable forms as does the Grerman.)
(7) The French ending -ane should be translated -ane if it is the name of a hydrocarbon (or parent heterocyclic compound) which iafuUy acUvrated; other- wise, -an. Examples: methane, menthane, tolan, furan, pentosan.
(8) Names of acids ending in -carhanique are translated -carhoxylic, not -ciurbonic.
CONJUGATION OF FRENCH VERBS
1. Genial Statement
(By Professor Frank Vogel)
In general the tenses of all regular verbs and of most irregular verbs can be formed or recognized from the five principal parts, viz. : (1) present infinitive, (2) present participle, (3) past participle, (4) present indicative, (5) past definite indicative.
(1) From the present infinitive, by adding directly -at, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont, the future indicative is formed. Likewise by adding -ais, -ais, -aitj -ions, -iez, -aient the conditional present is obtained, but infinitives in -re always drop the -e.
(2) From the present participle, by changing -ant into -aw, -ais, -ait, -dons, -iezy -aient, we obtain the imperfect indicative; and by changing -ant into -e, -68, -e, -icms, -dez, -ent we obtain the present subjunctive.
(3) The past participle with the auxiliary avoir for all transitive verbs (but with être for intransitives denoting motion, change of condition or position, and for reflexives) forms the compoimd tenses in the active voice. However, with the past participle and the required tense form of être the tenses of the passive voice are formed.
(4) The present indicative gives the imperative by dropping the pronoun of the second person singular and of the first and second person plural, also final 8 of the second person singular in the first (-er) conjugation is dropped except when followed by the pronoims -y or -en.
(5) The past definite gives the imperfect subjunctive by changing the first person singular final t or « to see, ssea, -*t, saions, -aaiez, -aaent. Note that the third person singular always has a circmnflex (*) accent over^e vowel (a, t, u) before the t. Digitized by CjOOgle

4. BeflexiTe Verbs
In the simple tenses, reflexive verbs are conjugated like the oonesponding active forms, but with the use of the pronoims me, te, se, rums, vous, se (as the person and niunber may be). In the compoimd tenses, in addition to the use of the above pronouns the auxiliary être (instead of avoir as in the active forms) is employed; thus, Umer (active), se laver (reflexive); avoir Jopev (active)^ s*ètr»
lavé (reflexive).
Digitized by VjO
C50NJUGATI0N OF FRENCH VERBS xvii
Reflexive verbs are translated:
(1) Reflexively; as, se lover, to wash oneself.
(2) Reciprocally; as, se laver, to wash each other or one another. (The
above two meanings are not usually given in the vocabulary.)
(3) Passively; as, se publier, to be published. (This meaning is often
given, especially when it is a customary one.)
(4) Intransitfvely; as, Vor se fond, the gold melts, gold melts. (Such
meanings have been included as far as possible.)
The following inflections must serve as examples for the reflexive verbs:
