The Academy was formed in 1635 at the request of Cardinal Richelieu "after the pattern of the Italian academies of the Renaissance. The Cardinal's purposes were to create something very serious a piece of governmental machinery to legislate for language as other bodies legislated on matters economic or judicial. In 1638 the work on the dictionary was begun. There was little practical organization of the task and hardly any efficiency. The result was an exasperating slowness which invited numerous lampoons. One wag suggested that the dictionary then being at the letter F he would be delighted to live until they reached G. There was one time papers were seized by creditors and the work was practically paralyzed. Finally in 1694 that is to say fifty-eight years after its inception the book was off the press and was presented to the king with ceremony. As was to be expected it was ultra-conservative and based essentially on the canons of Malherbe with even more restrictions on the admission of popular terms" Holmes & Schutz Hist. of the French Lang. pp. 86-87.
