AN EASY FIRST FRENCH READER

THIS reader contains stories from such well-known writers as Feuillet, Laboulaye, and Félix Gras, so condensed and altered as to render them suitable for elementary reading, but still retaining the characteristic charm of the original narratives. The text progresses from the very simple to the more difïicult by a regular gradation. Corresponding to the French text are English exercises to be translated into French, Thèse serve as a test of the pupil's knowledge, and also as a drill in grammar. A table of irregtdar verbs fumishes aid in connection with this drill. There are both French-English and English- French vocabularies, and footnotes explain the few allusions and idioms which require explanation.
