Dictionnaire de la Langue Verte - Argots Parisiens Compares (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Dictionnaire de la Langue Verte: Argots Parisiens Compares

Quelques orientalistes distingués avaient bien songé jusqu' ici à réun1r en corps le cant des voleurs, entre autres M. Francisque Michel, qui a fait là - dessus un gros volume étymologique assez inutile sur lequel nous reviendrons tout à l' heure; mais personne 11 'avait songé à faire le même travail pour le slang, quoique plus attrayant et plus intéressant.
