From the PREFACE. This little volume of "Progressive French Idioms" claims neither to be exhaustive nor even very highly advanced; it is meant to be really practical and useful. Any expressions, idioms, or proverbs which might be unknown to an ordinary educated Frenchman have been omitted. An attempt has been made at some division of the matter according to its relative importance, but, of course, opinions will differ as to this, and the sections are bound to overlap to some extent. Section A contains under the name of Grammatical Idioms! typical examples of most of the points in which French and English grammar do not agree. It does not go into grammatical oddities or moot questions debated amongst scholars. A pupil well drilled in this section-that is, able to construct sentences readily and intelligently on the model of those given-would actually possess as much practical knowledge of grammar as is necessary and sufficient to proceed with the study of French. It may here be remarked that lack of fluency in conversation does not as a rule arise from want of knowledge in advanced grammar, or even from a deficient vocabulary, but rather from want of readiness in the use of those elementary constructions of French grammar which are quite easy and natural to natives. Until the pupil is perfectly at home in the use of the personal pronouns, the conversational tense, the idiomatic auxiliaries, etc., no fluency in speaking is possible. The next requirement is an equally ready knowledge of a number of idiomatic turns and expressions which every Frenchman, be he educated, or not, uses constantly. A knowledge of these is absolutely essential to speaking and writing French as it is spoken and written by French people. These are given in Section B. Section C is concerned with idioms more literary than those in Section B, but by no means uncommon. They are the kind of expressions and constructions constantly I found in the books of good writers, or used by people who speak well. Most of them will be required in the translation into French of an ordinary English passage, and consequently they must not only be understood but learned and used by more advanced pupils having to translate English into French or write original composition. In Section D are included idioms difficult of use for English pupils, but, generally speaking, easy and perfectly well known to any educated Frenchman. Many are idioms which a foreigner is apt to use incorrectly or in the wrong place. Owing to their constant occurrence in French books the pupil must know their meaning, but should not as a rule be advised or encouraged to use them until he has by a larger intercourse with French writers or French people obtained a deeper understanding of the genius of the language. In this section the French is given first. Section E contains a number of trite and stereotyped similes, most of them having now lost their original wit or sarcasm, but which are still used everywhere by everybody. The list could easily have been extended and might have been interesting as sometimes giving curious illustrations of the difference in the respective characters of the two peoples. In Section F some well-known proverbs are given with English equivalents. The list does not go beyond such sayings as everybody uses and quotes freely in France. For some there is an acknowledged rendering, sometimes perhaps not very accurate, for others a somewhat awkward translation has to be resorted to. Indeed, as the intercourse between France and Britain increases, not a few seem now to admit of a literal translation.

The Wallis Lexicon of French Idioms, 1700 to 2000 by Frank H. Wallis Pdf
The Wallis Lexicon of French Idioms contains approximately 30,000 entries from 1700 to 2000. The product of 40 years of study, it reveals French idioms, phrases, terms of art, and proverbs thought to be most useful to English speaking translators of the French language. The Wallis Lexicon of French Idioms is arranged in alphabetical order from A to Z. The main purpose of the work is to aid in the translation of French literature. There are a great many idioms and set phrases which are impossible to translate without such a guide as this. At some 584 pages the Lexicon could have been twice as large were it not for the decision to avoid the inclusion of highly technical recent terminology from medicine, mathematics, the law, banking, science, and engineering. The Lexicon is fundamentally about history, politics, fiction, the arts, and liberal studies.
