The changes introduced, in 1877, hj the French Academy^ El the use of accents and the spelling of compound and f oreign words hâve ^een oarefolly noted, and nomerons exercises added, with a view of hnpressing the Baies more deeply on the student's memory. To meet the reqnirements of the case, it has been foond necessaryto make those Exercises oonsist chieflj of detached sentences; bnt care has been taken that each sentmce shonld contain some interesting thonght, or conyey nseful information. Gommonplace and meaningless phrases hâve been altogether exclnded.

The second part mclndes one hnndred easy pièces for rendering inta French (Anecdotes, Historical Faets, &c.), each reqoiring half an hoor of préparation.
