Scope and Contents
The book is arranged in an alphabetical order and lists handwritten words in French, English, and Latin selected by Seille conforming to her own scheme of visual importance for that letter. The visual images largely consist of material gleened from periodicals of the popular press. Photocopied material from French dictionaries is used often to form a background for Seille's handwritten lists. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
