There Î3 no rerb in French which entera into the construction of more ^allicisms than the verb Faire, It is the French verb par excellence. The French, in fact, use it in so many ways that foreigners must find great difficulty in understanding ail its différent meanings.

I hâve undertaken to collect as many gallicisms as possible in which the verb Faire is employed, and with this object I hâve admitted not only those which occur in our classical authors, but also such as are used in popular and conversational language.

As the course of reading foUowed by students of French is naturally not confined to the works of Corneille and Racine, I think it is désirable to make them acquainted with those familiar expressions which they will constantly find in French books and newspapers, and will continually hear upon the stage.
