The author has endeavoured in this little book to take one by one the different senses in which "faire" may be used, and examples have been given to illustrate every meaning. It is also suggested that pupils should learn carefully the Idiomatic Expressions and Proverbs in the latter portion of the book. This having been done, no difficulty should be experienced in translating the supplementary test exercises given at the end of the work.

Par E. J. A. GROVES, L. ès L., Senior French Master, Bradford Grammar School. Crown 8vo. Cloth

This book, written entirely in French, on Reform Lines, is intended I. To promote a thorough knowledge of the Regular and Irregular Verbs most commonly in use. 2. To ensure familiarity in using the Verbs in speech. The Exercices écrits afford abundant practice in conjugating numerous verbs contained in specially compiled sentences. Due importance is given to the accurate study and application of the Subjunctive forms. The Exercices oraux, written more particularly for viva voce practice in the use of the French Verb, are so arranged that the pupil must frame the question or issue the order as well as the reply. The Exercices théoriques are "Questionnaires" written to draw attention to hints and observations which will simplify the learning of the Verbs, e.g. tense formation, similarities and differences between various types, peculiarities, etc. Answers to most of the questions may be found in the Notes and Tables at the end of the book. In conformity with the recent decree of the French Ministry of Public Instruction, the grouping of the Verbs has been simplified and arranged according to the endings of the 1st Person Singular of the Present Indicative, e.g. ; (1) Indicative Present in e (type "Aimer," etc.); (2) Indicative Present in is (type "Finir," etc.); (3) All other Verbs; and the names Passé Simple and Passé Composé have been given respectively to the Past Definite and Past Indefinite. For the convenience, however, of those who prefer the more familiar names, the words "Passé Défini" and "Passé Indéfini" have been inserted in brackets.

Jacquet, French Conjugations at a Glance.

A complete and easy Treatise on French Verbs, contain- s. ing Accidence, Syntax, and a Chapter on Personal Pronouns. By A. M. JACQUET, Principal French Master, Plymouth Corporation Grammar School. 4to. oblong, Stiff Paper Boards

The Accidence includes a new model of Conjugation, and the Regular and Irregular Verbs systematically arranged on two pages facing each other. This original feature saves the student the trouble of searching his grammar, and enables him to compare at a glance the moods and tenses, as well as the irregularities of roots and endings of the verbs and conjugations.

The Syntax deals with the difficulties of Agreement, and the use of Tenses. The chapters on the Participles are concise and easy to commit to memory. This section contains also short notes on the use of "ne" without "pas" or "point," and the principal

rules on the Formation of Verbs.

By A. M. JACQUET, Principal French Master, Plymouth Corporation Grammar School. Lazare & Marshall, A Complete French Verb Drill. Table of the Auxiliaries, Regular Conjugations, and Irregular Verbs, arranged in Alphabetical Order and followed by copious Exercises dealing with the Verbs in their Order of frequency. Edited by JULES Lazare, B. ès L., and HERBERT MARSHALL, M. A. 72 pages. Crown 8vo. Paper Cover o 9 Unless the systematic study of French Verbs be undertaken at an early stage, they remain a stumbling block in the path of the student and a constant source of discouragement. Unfortunately this essential subject is treated too scantily in most Grammars, where, in obedience to a time-honoured custom, much valuable space is devoted to far less important matters. The present compilation is an attempt to remedy this deficiency. The Editors have supplemented the text with copious exercises, in which the verbs are dealt with in order of frequency. These may be useful partly or entirely for oral practice when time is too limited for a written translation, or when a final revision only is required. For the latter object the Recapitulation will be found especially useful. Max, Verb Copy Book. (Fourth Edition.)

Tables of Auxiliary, Regular, Irregular, and Defective Verbs, Models, Questions, Exercise Forms, etc. pages (detachable) in Paper Wrapper

By following the method prescribed-devoting to it a few
minutes four or five times a week-the pupil should easily me-
morise all the essential forms of French Verbs. The compilation
is suitable for ordinary Copy-book purposes, unaided Home-work,
or as a stop-gap for any odd interval in school-hours.
Perini, 25 Exercises on 200 French Verbs.

Set for Conjugation in their Affirmative, Negative, and
Interrogative Forms, with an Index appended of the
Exercises for Self or Class Examination. By N. PERINI,

The plan of the book is very simple, and yet it goes thoroughly
into the subject. It possesses, moreover, the great advantage of
entirely relieving the teacher of the laborious task of setting verbs
to conjugate.
