To which are added, Varoe's System of French Prononciation, bis Grammatical Synopsis, a New Index, and short Models of Gommer dal Correspondence. By Y. VALUE. 12mo, 638 pages.
OllendorfTs French Grammars hâve been beforo the public so long, and Wave had their mérita so generally acknowledged, that it is unnecessary to enter into any detailed description of their peculiarities or lengthy argument in their favor. Suffire it to say, that they are founded in nature, and follcw the same course that a child pursues in first acquiring his native tongue. They teach inductively, understandingly, interestingly. They do not repa the student in the outset by obliging him to memorize dry abstract langnage which conveys little or no idea to his mina, but impart their lessons agrée* ably as well as efficiently by exercises, which teach the principles successively involved more clearly than any abstract language can. They give a eonversational, and therefore a practically useful, knowledge of the language ; the student is made constantly to apply what he learns. To thèse peculi arities is due the wide-spread and lasting popularity of the OUendorff séries.
Prof. Greene's Introduction, the first of the works named above, will be found useful for young beginners. In it are presented the fondamental principles of the language, carefully culled ont, and Dlustrated with easy exercises. It paves the way for the larger works, preparing the pupil'i mind for their more comprehensive course and awakening in it a désire fix fcrther knowledge.
Value's and Jewctt's works are essentially the same, though differing
- omewhat in their arrangement and the additions that hâve been made to
lue original. Somo institutions prefer one, and others 4he other ; either, W
b believed, will impart a thorough acquaintance with French, beth gras
naiScal and eonversational, by an interesting process, and with but UttW
