OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

"A good school-book. The type is as clear as the arrangement." — Athenaeum.^ Jan. 6, 1877.

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

" We have no hesitation m stating our opinion that no more nseful or practical introduction to the French langauge has been published than thia,"— Public Opinion^ March 24, 1877.

** England is fortunate in the services of a small knot of French Masters like MM. Masson and Brette, who have, alike by their teaching and their school-books, done much for the scientific study of the language and literature of France. After successfully introducing into English form the 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 here translate and adapt the Petite or Elementary French Grammar. That has at once proved as popular as the more elaborate tTeaAiBe."— Edinburgh Daily Review^ March 20, 1877.

" Of this excellent school series we have before us the PvJ)lic School Elementary French Grammar— (I) Accidence and (2) Syntax. Brachet's work is simply beyond comparison with any other of its class : and its scientific character is not sacrificed in the very judicious adaptation which has made it available for English students. — There U no better elementary French Grammar^ whether /br boys or /or girls," — Her^ord Times, April 11, 1887.
