I Vol., small 8vo, nicely bound, as. ; in full cloth, 2s. 6d.

The Editors hâve selected amongst others two of the most charming stories of the emînent Author whom the Times styles " the Thackeray of France."

The volume can be put into the hands of every young person, and will be a welcome reading-book for ail Schools. In no living French author can the French language be studied to greater advantage.

11 It is asserted by several persons wctt qualified to pass an opinion on the subject that to know the-French of the présent day \ is thegreat object which pupils should hâve in view 9 and that the true modds are Balzac, Victor Hugo, Erckmann-Chatrian, and Edmond Abouti— Saiurday Review, Nov. 4, 1871.

" The présent sélection is the best and the most amusing ever published in England. In the notes, the modem French is translated into its équivalent of good Énglish — not a very easy task at any time ; and the historical, geographical, classical, and etymological remarks are trotted out m a very agreeable and showy array.^— Bristol Times, Sept 18, 1871.

" After a very careful perusal 01 the work we hâve corne to the conclusion that the editors hâve performed their task in a manner that leaves no opening for cavil. The resuit is a book which we would at once put in the hands of our daughter, and bid her study it thoroughly. To speak in commendation of the wit of M. About would be a work of supererogation ; to laud the pungency of his satire would be a waste of time and type ; to praise his French linguistically were out of the question ; but to exprès our admiration for the spécimens of his works now before us \V9 hold to be only a duty. We must in fairness add that typographically the work is pleasing to the eye of the reader, while its get-up generally is for the price a wonder of cheapness combined with taste, making it a gladsome sight on the student's "what-not. ,, — Weekly Review, Nov, 11, 1871.
