The snccesi obtained bj the '* Claas-Book of French Compositian ** bas induced me to prépare a " Primer of French Composition" on the same plan, with thia differenoe, that the Notes are more numerous, and that the pièces, instead of being chosen from standard Knglish authors, hâve been 8i>ecially written ia easy English. so as to make them perf ectl^ free from idiomatic expressions.

1 contend that a pupil of average abihty, af ter going through this Primer ought to be able to write a pièce of Frendi without making any grosa gram matical error8.'P. Bloubt.

The compiler has chosen amnsing and interesting pièces by English Anthors, and given ail the mies of French Grammar that refer to each sentence to be translated into French. The compiler has aimed at writing a dass-book which may enable a yonng pupil to leam his grammar, or an advanced one to révise it, whUst tranèlating,

The increasing snccess of the '* Class-Book of French Composition " clearly shows that the method of teaching French Composition by g^iving hints to pupUs. instead of giying them wbole sentences translated, is being well appiticîated.

'* This book desenres to take rank with Mr. Sidgwick's ' Greek Composition,*

and a higher compliment we cannot pay it..» **—Jowmckl of Jiduoation,

Blouët's ' Class-Book of French Composition " will be f onnd a most yaluable guide to the idiomatic rendering of E^gUsh into French. The extracts given for translation are most amusing and interesting, and the pupil who goes through the exercises carefnUv, using the assistance given in the notes and références, will leam much wnich he oould pick up nowhen but from the conTetsation of a cultivated Frenchman.*^— Li^ary Churehman, Aug. 20, 1880.
