Two copies of the printed Dictionnaire Celto-Breton ou Breton-Français of J. F. M. M. Le Gonidec
Two copies of the printed Dictionnaire Celto-Breton ou Breton-Français of J. F. M. M. Le Gonidec (Angoulême, 1821) cut up and pasted in two books with numerous manuscript notes and additions by William Monck Mason, chiefly exhibiting the connexion of Breton with Welsh.
The volumes divide before P, but the order of letters is not that of the English alphabet.
