"M. Bué's 'First French Book * is much to be commended. The lessons ar^ very graduai, and the rules are explained with a simplicity that must greatly hein Doth teacher and pupiL At the end of each lesson a short vocabulary, » model exercise, and a conversation are given. At the end of the verbs is a ' short chapter for the inquisitive/ which is well worth getting up^ even by more advanced pupils. The chief merit of elementary books of mis kmd lies iz> iheir arrangement, and in this respect we hâve seen no better book than M. Btté'sf '— iScAooi Guardian, Nov. 10, 1877.

Henri Buffs New Conversational French Course {Conitnued\ CRITICAL OPINIONS (Continued).

'* This is one of the best first-books to French that has ever been publisbed. The difficnlties of the language are presented in a séries of exercises and lessons, throogh which the student is lea before he réalises that he has really had eenuine difficulties presented to him. The vocalnilaries contained in the book bave been selected very skilfuUy. *A short chapter for the inquisitive' ia excellent. There is a French-EngUsh vocabulary, containing nearly 1500 words in most fréquent use."— TA* Weekly Times, Oct U, 1877.

*' This is a very excellent lîttle work, and will be welcomed both in schcolf ^nd for private teaching. It bears the impress of an experienced teacher ; and 18 marked with great care in pointing out the peculiarities of the language in construction, idiom, and pronunciation. The i)rinting also deserves a word of notice, the variations in termination, etc., to which it is desired to call attention being nven in excellent buld type— so that the utmost use is made of the eye— > probably the most powerful of ail sensés in assisting the memory, especially in l^e case of young people. There is no doubt that it will quite f ultil the author's msh, modestly expressed in the préface, of beconiing 'a useful and handy primer.* **—The London and China Express, Oct 1% 1877.

" A great deal more of the information needied by a beginner than much larger works often contain will be found in this little pocket grainmar and exercise book. Only an experienced teacher could so weÙ anticipate the preliminary difficulties and remove them from the path of a young unguist as M Bué hu done in his primer."— i*i*&Zic Opinion, Nov. 10, 187/.

*' Her Majesty's inspectors hâve strongly recommended to UB your new séries of French books by M. Bué."— Strathavkx, N.B.

"Ourpupilteachers hâve been usingthe First Book with very satisfactory reBults."— Nkwcistlk-upon-Tyne.

"I am vex7 pleaeed that their sterling merit is not only appreciated in Enfland, but in America and Australia."— W. F.

^* I hâve no hésitation in saying, that the compactness, as well as the gênerai arrangement of the work, make it the best work of the kind that ha8.yet corne nnder my notice."- Dunmurry, March 14, 1884.— R. H. G.

"Two admirable books."— One op H. M. I. dp Schools.

*' My knowledge of their worth is formed upon the opinion of a friond, well Tersed in French. He says, ' they are admirable.' "—One op H. M. I. of Schooi^.

'* I hâve used M. Bué's First and Second Books now for some years for large classes of children and pupil teachers, and hâve found them answer admirably." — Leeds ànd Distbict Pupil Teachers' P&izb Association.

'* I hâve used M. Bué's little French Books with junior pupils, and find them exceBenf—KiNGSTOWN, Dublin. Octob6r25. 1884.

'* This isa book, small as re^fards size and price, but containing in quantity at least matter which would furmsh four far larger and more prétentions volumes. M. Bué's method and treatment are excellent ; to any person unacquainted with Frendi, but wishing to study that language. or to any teacher wishing to form cUuNMS for its stndy, we can cordially recommend his work. Books for use in ar^ool or class are often compiled by others than teachers, and .the resuit is not always satisfactory. M. Bué is a teacher himself, and his lessons show that he understands the cQfficulties his brethren may labour under, and the best means by which they can be surmounted. We are glad to leam t^at the volume nnder notice has been adopted by the London SchoolBoard."— TAtf Irish Teachers* Journal, Feb. 2, 1878.

'* This little book is a model both of cheapness and of completeness. In 150 palpes it cives beginners the principal rules of the French Accidence, thus enabling tnem to nractise conversation af ter a very f ew lessons. M. Bué commences by a list 01 easy and useful words to be leamed by heart ; the elementary Srammar comes nextw each chapter being f ollowed by a vocabulary and two exercises. The reading lessons which terminate the volume are amusing anecdotes of graduated difficulties, and the vocabularies are so compiled as to preclude the necessity of a senarate dictionary. The pupil has thus in a verr small duodecimo aU the help ne requires towards a quick and easy mastery ol tbo éléments of tiie French language."— 5cAoo{ Boturd ChronieU,
