Lauréat de l'Institut de France, and adapted forEnglish Schools by the Rey. P. H. E. Beette, B,D., and Gustave Massox, B.A.

The présent work cannot fail to be generally adopted for pupils who, having already a sufiacient knowledge of Greek and Latin, are able to begin the study of French through the médium of comparative grammar.

Departing from the old routine of putting before children a mere séries of rules of an apparently arbitrary character, and which can neither be explained nor justified, M. Brachet shows that historical philology accounts for every grammatical fact, whether rule or exception, and that even linguistic bizarreries, as we would deem them, have their raison d'être, if we only trace up modem French to its origins.
