FRENCH CLASSICS.
WANOSTROCHT'S FRENCH GRAMMAR.—This
highly-esteemed and well-known French Grammar needs no
commendation at the present day. It is used throughout the
country, and has passed through a great many editions in London,
and been several times printed in Paris. Its extensive use
may be considered a sufficient test of its worth.
FRENCH WORD-BOOK The Explanatory and Pronouncing
French Word-Book; or First Step to the French
Language. Being an easy Spelling-Book, and Vocabulary of
Three Thousand Words. To which is annexed, the French
Phrase-Book. By M.L'Abbé Bossut.
The original plan of this little manual has been highly appreciated, and
the work used with much success; but with the view of rendering it still
more useful to those pupils who cannot always call to their aid the services of
a native teacher, and also to assist such instructors in the French language
as may not be perfectly conversant with its pronunciation, the editor has in
this edition annexed the sound and articulation of each word, according to
the approved Dictionary of the Abbé Tardy.
The teacher will find it a great help; and as far as a knowledge of three
thousand words, and a great many familiar and idiomatic phrases will go, so
far, at least, the young English scholar may, by this work, acquire the French
language and idiom without the aid of a professional in tructor.
LA BAGATELLE; intended to introduce young Children to
some Knowledge of the French Language.—This little work will
be found interesting to very young children. It is reprinted with
additions and improvements from the English edition, which has
been found a very useful and popular book to be used as the First
Lessons in French.
CHARLES XII. in French, by Voltaire; with English
Notes, for Schools and Academies. Stereotype Edition.—This
celebrated Classic is now too extensively used in Schools and
Academies throughout England and America to require any
comment.
HENTZ'S FRENCH READER. A Classical French
Reader; selected from the best Writers in that Language, in Prose
and Poetry; attended with Notes explanatory of Idioms, &c.,
throughout the Work. By N. M. Hentz, A. M., Professor of
Modern Languages in the University of North Carolina.
It has been heretofore a great disadvantage in teaching French in this
country, that a good selection from authors could not easily be obtained.
The compiler of this work has availed himself of the experience acquired in
several years' teaching, and hopes he has produced a work which will prove
useful and satisfactory.
BOYER'S FRENCH AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY.—
This is far superior to any other Dictionary ever published, and
the demand for it is constantly increasing.
