Ink inscription to the front free end paper. Abel Boyer (c1667-1729) was a French-English lexicographer, journalist and writer.

He later produced an abridged version and one titled in French, like this one. Boyer's dictionary was superior to every previous work of this kind, and has been the basis for many subsequent French-English dictionaries.
