Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the French Language
Tun present Grammar has been selected from many in use both in England and this country, and prepared to meet the wants of such young persons as are studying French in our schools and colleges. The grammars most frequently used in such institutions, it may be safely said, have been found very imperfectly fitted for those to whom they were given; - Lévizac's, for instance, being crowded with philosophical and metaphysical discussions, which are embarrassing in themselves, and have little or no prac; tical value; and Wanostrocht's being confused, awkward, and ill-arranged. The merits, which led to the selection of the present work for the students of Harvard College, are its clearness, simplicity, and accuracy; its excellent divisions and disposition; and its practical character through out. The separation of the Accidence from the Syntax; the shortness and plainness of the rules; the abundance and apt ness of the examples; the clear manner in which the verbs, and especially the irregq verbs, are exhibited; the large amount of the exercises, with their obvious application; and the direct tendency of the whole to produce a habit of speak ing the language, will, it is believed, recommend it for gen eral use before any one now given to the same class of pupils.
