"Mr. Belfond's skill as a teacher is so evinced in the capital arrangement
of the thirty-two lessons with their ten questions at the foot, and the work
is so well graded, that we can recommend it to the notice of schools and
colleges as a vade-mecum. It is used as a text-book in one of the largest
centres in London, and has there proved its worth."-The Teachers' Aid.
"The Accidence has the merit of combining theory with practice, the
elementary rules being on one page and the conversational part on the
opposite one. The questions (in English) are simple and clear, the answers
well chosen."-School.

"A good school-book. The type is as clear as the arrangement."Athenæum.

"We have no hesitation in stating our opinion that no more useful or practical introduction to the French language has been published than this."-Public Opinion.

"Brachet's work is simply beyond comparison with any other of its class; and its scientific character is not sacrificed in the very judicious adaptation which has made it available for English students.-There is no better Elementary French Grammar, whether for boys or girls."-Hereford Times.

"England is fortunate in the services of a small knot of French Masters like MM. Masson and Brette, who have, alike by their teaching and their school books, done much for the scientific study of the language and literature of France. After successfully introducing into English form the 'Public School French Grammar,' in which M. Littré's researches are happily applied by M. Brachet so as to show the relation of modern French to Latin, MM. Brette and Masson here translate and adapt the 'Petite' or Elementary French Grammar. That has at once proved as popular as the more elaborate treatise."-Edinburgh Daily Review.

"M. Auguste Brachet is well known as one of the most scientific and learned of French philologists and grammarians, and the practical utility of his Elementary French Grammar is proved by the fact that the translation of it by the Rev. P. H. Brette, head master of the French School at Christ's Hospital, and Mr. G. Masson, assistant master at Harrow, bas already reached a new edition."-The Scotsman.

EXTRACT FROM PREFACE OF PART II.

"In almost every section of the book we have dwelt more minutely than has hitherto been done on many points of construction that present great difficulties to English students, as, for instance, the rules concerning the Compound Nouns, the position of Adjectives, the place occupied by the Subject and Object-whether Noun or Pronoun-and the use of Moods and Tenses, and invariable words, particularly Adverbs of Negation and Prepositions.

"The chapters devoted to Gallicisms, Prosody, and Synonyms, though far from exhaustive, will, it is hoped, furnish the student with sufficient aid and guidance to enable him to solve difficulties without having to consult other works.

These

"Every effort has been made to bring out, in a lucid and systematic manner, the peculiar characteristics of French Idioms, and the principles by which so-called Synonymous terms may be discriminated. subjects, although of great importance, have, strangely enough, been either overlooked altogether or very scantily treated in all but a few of the existing grammars. This part of the book constitutes an entirely novel feature."
