OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

"A good scliool-book. The type is as clear as the arrangement." — Athenœum, Jan. 6, 1877.

" We are not astonished to hear that it has met with the most flattering réception." — School Board Chronide, March 10, 1877.

" We hâve no hésitation in stating our opinion that no more useful or practical introduction to the French language has been published tlian this." — Public Opinion, March 24, 1877.

" England is fortunate in the services of a small knot of French Masters like MM. Masson and Brette, who hâve, alike by their teaching and their school-books, done much for the scientific study of the language and literature of France. After successfully introdueing into English form tlie Public School French Grammar, in which M. Littré's researches are happily applied by M. Brachet so as to show the relation of modem French to Latin, MM. Brette and Masson hère translate and adapt the Petite or Elementary French Grammar. That has at once proved as popular as the more elaborate treatise." — Edinburgh Daily Review, March 20, 1877.

"Of this excellent scliool séries we hâve before us the Pxiblic School Elementary French Grammar— (l) Accidence and (2) Syntax. Brachet's work is simply beyond comparison with any other of its class ; and its scientific eharacter is not sacrifice^ in tlie very judicious adaptation wliich has made it available for English students.— There isno better elementary French Grammar, whether for boys or for girls." — Hereford Times. April 11, 1887.
