For over fifteen jrears the author has been engaged extensively in preparing candidates for varions public examinations. Those who, like himself, have experienced the difficulties arising from the scant^r vocabulary and the restricted time of their pupils, will recognise the value of this manual. The contents supply answers to many of the questions that appear in various examination papers, and which have been calculated not only to embarrass the candidates, but some of which could hardly have been answered off-hand by the teacher himself. -~

Should prove very useful to students intending to present themselves for examination. The first two series contain idiomatic colloquial sentences, which often pcuzle the private student who has had little or no opportunity of getting practice tn French conversation.
