Edited by MARIE ASHWORTH, Médaillée pour la Littérature

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.

A complete and

easy Treatise on French Verbs, containing 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 gram. mar, 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 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" cr "point," and the principal rules on the Formation of Verbs.

M.A. 72 pages. Crown 8vo. Paper Cover -

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 timehonoured 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 used 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.
