Synopsis
Excerpt from Progressive Interlinear French Reader; On Locke's Plan of Instruction: Being a Course of Interesting and Instructive Lessons in French Literature, Selected From the Works of the Most Eminent Prose Writers, and Preceded by a Collection of Easy Fables
The text, with the exception of a Selection of Fables, which are intended to beuintroductory, consists of instruc tive and purely moral extracts from the best writers in the French language. It is scarcely necessary to repeat the general complaint that there was no French school~ book, on the Interlinear system, that gives a sufficient insight into the language, as now written: the works hitherto published having taken as their text some one French author, and with little regard to the choice of the. Best in style or subject for such a purpose. The author has endeavoured to supply this deficiency: his selections have been made with a view to as great a variety of pleas ing subjects, as also to the primary consideration of their zcontaining as many new words, as possible; and are, besides, sufficiently long to give the student an ample specimen of the style of each writer; In the Interlinear Reader he has. Confined himself to prose pieces exclu sively; in the belief that the difficulties besetting the path of the student in the first stages of [his progress are suf ficiently numerous, without increasing them~by the intro duction of poetry. In the Pronouncing Reader, how ever, which, in the fir'st three parts, repeats the French text of the Interlinear Reader, he has given, as a Fourth and Last Part, a course of Lessons in French Poetry, into which he has admitted no compositions which are not of the highest order of merit.
