" The appearance of a seventh édition of M. Baume's well-known ^ammar speaks for itself. It possesses distinctly a praisewortliy character of its own, iiiarked chietiy by a just prominei;ce given to ' practice,' a clear direct style of exposition, and a refreshing freedom froni technicalities. Itis amply fm^iished with carefully graduated exercises, bestows due attention on the irrcgnlarities of the verb, and contains rnany well-selected lists of nouns. . . . Altogether tliis grammar is an admirable work of the kind, essentially desigiied for use, devoid of pedantic phraseology, systematic, and therefore simple. It niay als'> be commended on the score of cheapness, and of beautiful typography."— Educational News.

" The attractiveness of Syntax is fully given efîect to by M. Baume, who illustrâtes the idiomatic peculiarities of Gallic construction in 1000 racy colloquialisms. The rules, which fonn the basis of his work, are simple and comprehensive, and their opération is unmistakably exhibited in 100 reading, parsing, and translating lessons. Some 40 of its 154 pages are taken up with prelimiuary rules of accidence and construction, alist of irregular verbs, &c., s» as to obviate the necessity of referring to preliininary books, and to give to his présent work a character of completeness. Its more extensive use in the schoola would certainly be productive of excellent fruits." — E-.lucational News.
