OPINIONS of THE PRESS and of THE SCHOLA.STIG PROFESSION oa the '*PRENCH NEWSPAPER READINO BOOK.*'

A book vas much wanted that should f ulfil the reqiiirements of tiie Oxford University Delegates, who imperatiyely compel ail candidates for thdr oertificates to ba able to translate at -sight " an extxact trom some French newspaper." Sight tranalatioa ta nearly alwa^s the most difficalt ordeal that can be put on any penon who imagines that he or she is thoroughly acqualnted with a language. This compilation bas nrsthf the great advantage of the absence of XYia feuilleton. The eyes of young Snglish people will not be debased by gazing on tiie novels that are too of ten |i ablished in the most respeotaUe newspapers, and tixat no ono but an avo^red freeloTB journal coold or would

Sublish in England. We gather from the questions attached to this work that the uthor bas had some trouble in adapting it to the needs and sequircments of Snglish Btudents ; and teachers of every description, who are of ten at a loss what question to put nezt, may be able to flnd in the enormous repertory of interrogatories that are given in this work, what will alike give them more than at nres^it most pupils can eonyeniently answer. This work satisfies a great need, andT seems destined to be a Taluable adjunct to the practical teaching of fhe French language.— Pu&^tf Opinion,
