The Athcnceum says that Dent's Modem Language Séries " has long been recognised as one of the mostadvanced and enterprising of the day."

The books for the teaching of Languages, published by J. M. DENT & Co., are based on the principles advocated by tlie pioneers of the Reform Movement in Germany (Viëtor, Franke, Walter, etc.), by the International Phonetic Association and by a large number of prominent teachers in France, Switzeiland, Scandinavia, and America.

A brief account of this method will be found in the Introductions to Hints on Teaching French and Hints on Teaching German (see pp. 3 and 9 of this prospectus).

The Reform Method is aiso advocated and described by Professor Spencer, in Chapters on the j4ims and Practice of Teaching^ Cambridge University Press, 1899; by Miss Mary Brebner, in The Method of Teaching Modem Languages in Germany, C. J. Clay & Sons, 1898 ; by Dr. Karl Breul, in The Teaching of Modem Forei^n Tanguages, Cambridge University Press, 1909 (^th éd.) ; by M. Paul Passy, in La Méthode Directe dans P Enseignement des Langues Vivantes, A. Colin et Cie., 1899 ; and by Professor Jespersen, in Hoiv to Teach a Foreign Language, Swan Sonnenschein, 1904.
