Part I.-Analysis of Words and Pronunciation.

IS. cloth.

Part II.-Completion of Analysis of Words and Pronunciation, Reading Lessons, Poetry, Exercises on the Metric System, etc. Memory Exercises to Part II. IS.

25. cloth. This Method is the outcome of many years' experience, aided by the careful practical study of the Systems in use in the Elementary Schools of Paris.

French is a living language, and, to be of practical use, must be taught conversationally from the first.

The C.-S. Method exercises the pupil in articulation and pronunciation, whilst at the same time he is acquiring, without conscious effort, a large vocabulary of French words, which are brought into daily use. The study of French Grammar is postponed until the pupil can read and understand fluently and intelligently.

"We have no hesitation in saying that this new departure in French Teaching gives excellent promise of being a rapid, easy, and interesting method, and that the knowledge of the language will be more extensive, permanent, and useful than can be hoped for from the requirements of the present educational code."-Journal of Education.

A Guide for Pianoforte Students.

By RIDLEY PRENTICE.

In Six Grades.

Each 25. Royal 16m0, cloth.

[Now completed.

A most valuable work, which has been some years in preparation, and which has been issued from time to time at an exceedingly cheap price. It is written by a teacher of great experience to meet a pressing want. Each grade is complete in itself, and cuts out work enough for a diligent student for about two years. It starts with a full list of the pieces to be studied, arranged in order of difficulty. .. But when, in addition, the *Musician' provides a full critical analysis of about a quarter of the pieces in the list, and gives clear help towards the analysis of the rest, it is manifest that we have a great boon in these little books, for both teachers and students. The intrinsic excellence of this series is sufficient to insure its success as soon as known."-Times.

"A knowledge of form is imparted in simple and pleasant language. This is the right sort of instruction-book, for it teaches people to think and study for themselves. We heartily commend it to all who desire to understand, satisfactorily interpret, and enjoy beautiful music."—Academy.

"We are far from suggesting that there is any royal road for acquiring technical knowledge, but we are quite certain Mr. Ridley Prentice's road is in every way the pleasantest that has yet been laid before any pianoforte student."-Saturday Review.

This series of books has received the sanction of the late Professor Macfarren, of Cambridge; the Rev. Professor Sir Gore Ouseley, of Oxford; the Royal Academy of Music; the Guildhall School, and many other leading centres of musical education.
