This course is really a considerably cheaper publication than any hitherto brought out, and altogether precludes the necessity of buying as a necessary complement-1. An English into French Translation Book. 2. An Idiom Book. 3. A Dictation Book. 4. A Book on the History of French Literature. 5. A Key for Students who get up French without the assistance of a Master, since the Master's Book is both the Grammar and the Key. 'We gladly welcome this Grammar, which, while fulfilling its professed object as a course preparatory for examinations, at the same time can be used with equal advantage by those who have no final test to work for, but who simply aim at acquiring a thorough knowledge of French in an attractive manner. The whole of the parts or terms are properly graduated, and each lesson contains proportionate parts of grammar, idioms, translations from French and into French, so as to serve as a very good model of what a lesson in French should be. As a companion to the Grammar the authors have also published a Master's Book, containing questions and exercises on the lessons, and the translation into French of the English pieces in the Pupil's Book. At the end the authors have given a short précis of French Literature.'-Educational Times.

A glance at any of our lessons will convince the reader of the justice of our claims to having based our publication on an entirely new system, the advantages of which we beg here to enumerate. I. Our work is based on the Oxford and Cambridge Examination Papers for twenty years, and the highly instructive principle of teaching the pupil to find out examples for himself in order to show that he understands the rules, has been kept in view throughout the books.
