'* We hâve read with great pleasur*» ' La Siège de La Rochelle,* and rejommond it a« one of i,he best booica for translation 4here is publîshed. It is cousidered one of the most popular of the works of Mme. de Genlis, whose name la vvell known in French Hterature. The nari-a* tive is inteiiselj int^resting, and will command attention to the close Though a work of fiction, the incidents are partly founded on fact. ihe histdrical scènes and characters are correctly drawn, and présent a fair view of this most eventful period of French history.

"Coutaining none but just and. moral senthnents, it is admirably adapted to be used as a School Reader, and we trust that it will meet wiih the favor it deaervea

' Of ail romances in rainiatur ,"'say8 Schlegel, "the Vicar of Wake* fleld isthe most exquisite;" ana in an article on Goldsmith, Sir Waltei Scott writes, "the wreath of Goldauiith is unsullied ; he wrote to exalt tirtue and expose vice; he accomplisbed his task in a manner whicb raises him to the highest rank among British anthors."

In translating this beautiful English Claseic into French, spécial care has been taken to préserve the beauty and simplicity of the style ; and we trust that the présent efibi*t to render it a school rcading book will meet with favor.

inOI^IKRJS. Œuvres Choisies. ISmo 90c.

This volume contains "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme," "Le Misanthrope," and "Les Feuimes Savantes."

The editor has carefully revised the text, and has faithfully foUowed the most approved Paris éditions. • As to the comédies selected, though many others of the same writer are at ieast equal, if not su^ peiior, in merit, it rnust be remembered that' this is an édition intended for scftools and for the vse of young p-nsons^ and the sélection has been made with référence to that objeet.

RACINE. Œuvres Choisies. ISmo 90c.

This sélection comprises "Bajazet," " Andromaque," "Iphig-^nie and Esther."

It lias long been désirable that the works of this great poet should be used in our schools as a reading book: but as his writings aro too vohiminous for that purpose, a proper sélection of his best pièces hng been made. This sélection the editor trusts will prcve acceptable to ail instructors and professons of the French language, as well as »o nll intcrosted iii French Hterature.

ît is printed with great accuracy, thus removing the usual objectiof lo the «Kiitions of French works piibhshed in this coimtiy.

Like " Paul and Virginia" this book contains a full Vocabulary, Interlinoar translations, both free and literal, of the first few pages, and the Pronunciation of the French indicated by English sounds.

" The incident wliich gave riae to this history is founded in truth No imagination, however fertile, could produce actions so heroic. or gentimenis so noble and elevated. The heart alone could inspire them. * * Authora hâve frequently been accused of represonting the beauties of virtue witli too bold a pencil, and in colors too vivid. Far aui I, however, from presumhig to insinuàte that this critioism ia applicable to myself, who possess not the abilities requisite to attain this brilliant though créative talent; nor do I conçoive that it is in the power of the raost éloquent autho** by ail the studied embellishments and décorations of language, to add a single charm to the innate beauties of virtue. On the contrary, she is in herself so far superior to the adventitious aids of omaraent, that it would rather appear impossible to describe her in aU her native dignity and loveliness.

Most of the Guides to French Conversation heretofore pMbmhcl :r this country bave been merely collections of certain conversations oc spetified subjects, which, unless they were again to recur in the précise form of the lesson, would be of but little assistance to the éludent. In other words, he but stores his mind with Bet formai phrases for spécifie occasions, without an acquaintance with thogeniua and power of the language, or the ability to adapt his knowledge to tho peculiar and varied circu m stances of every-day life.

This work is arranged on an bntibely new plan. It consista of the most familiar phrases of every-daj conversation, classified according to their sensé under various appropriate heads, such as the following:
