" I^r. Gustave Masson has been well advised in drawing up a short volume of sélections from old Freuch liistory to serve at once as a rending liook and ii historical manual. It is to be hoped tliat the little book may be widely us^ed, for its intrinsic value is great, and the delusion (almost as prévalent in i^rance as in England) that old French is an unreadable jargon cannot be too soon removed. The sélections are niade very judiciously." — Saturday Rcvicw.

" The ' C'hoiee Readings' is a bookwe can recommend with nnusual pleasure. Senior pupils, maie or female, will thus be able to study the progressive nioditications in the French language. at the same time that they learu something of French liistory. We hâve selclom seen a book of which, lu its class, we approve se hiahly." — Literary Churehinan.

The ' Choice Readings from French History ' is a scholarly book. The notes are full, and the glossary is a treasure of old French. The map shows tlie state of the country at the accession of the Valois. Altogether the book is one of the best we ever saw of the kind." — Grra2)hrc.

"Illustrâtes mediœval literature in a very interesting way." — Daily Chroiiicle.

" We trust that the volume may encourage ail who can read French to iiiru to this interesting guide, and be by it led back to the rich stores of ancient literature on which the less valuable light literature of modem France ha3 imfortunately fallen so tliickly as to hâve almost obscured it from our sight." — Public Opinion.
