First and Only Edition of this book as well as it's the last printed example to French-Ottoman Turkish legal dictionaries. This lexicon was created by reviewing an old study on the publication of new laws. Turkish equivalents are given for French terms in the dictionary between pages 5-148. Stating that he felt the need to translate the terms of new law seen in the Turkish legislation from French to Turkish following the proclamation of the Republic, the author writes in the last word of the book that he has been carrying out preparatory work since the 2nd Constitutional Period. For this reason, the book draws attention to the richness of its responses to the terms. The first of the French-Turkish legal dictionaries is "Mecmua-i Istilahât-i Resmiye", published by Baron Ottokar in Vienna in 1870, the last example is this book printed in 1927 in Ottoman literature. Karayalçin-Mumcu, p. 4.; Özege: 5939. Extremely rare.
