The Académie French Course embodies in two books a complète System of instruction in the French language for English-speaking pupils. The course is remarkable for the simplicity of its grammatical treatment and for the carefully selected vocabulary employed in the exercises and translations. It is eminently practical, advancing in a constant gradation from the easiest of first steps to those more difficult. Only essential rules are given, and those in the most concise form. Besides the usual grammatical drill, it includes lessons in conversational form, entitled " A Trip to Paris," replète with information of the most practical kind and largely increasing the student's vocabulary with an extensive variety of expressions in daily use among the educated classes in France.
