PROFESSEUR DE LANGUE FRANÇAISE, À LONDRES, 12MO.— FIVE SHILLINGS

This is one of the best prose collections that hâve been published for persons, whether adults or others, who are commencing the study of the French language. Its unassuming title conveys but an imperfect idea of its just pretensions ; for not only does it comprise a little of ail, but that little is the best. The sélection has been made with great judgment, not only as regards the choice of authors, but in the great variety of subjects introduced and taken from différent writers. The advantage of this method in making the learner acquaiiited with a diversity of the best niodels in respect to style, is too obvious to need insistiug upon. It is to a want of proper attention in this respect that we may attribute the vejy limited progress made by many persons, who bave pet-haps been allowed to study French for a year or two, without having any books placed in their hands but Teleraachus and Charles the Twelfth. In the volume before us, which, though distinguished by a good-sized and remarkably clear type, is of very moderate dimensions, Mons. Lépée has comprised upwards of one hundred extracts, fanciful, didactic, and narrative ; yet with such tact as to bave rendered them ail complète and interesting. The compilation contaitis a few pièces, translations and others, from his owu pen, which furnish an additional proof of the taste and talent of the editor.
