TO MY FRIEND,

EMILE PERNET,

Professor of French,

TORONTO, CANADA WEST.

I have the honor, and also the pleasure, of dedicating to you my COMPLETE FRENCH CLASS BOOK," for the use of English Schools. Two feelings have inspired me in the dedication of this work, which is the result of my experience and long labor;-First, a feeling of friendship and gratitude; secondly, a feeling of sincere admiration which I entertain, not only for the great interest you take in teaching the French language, but also for your personal merit as a Professor. I am persuaded that I could not better address this dedication than to him, of all French Professors in my intimacy, whom I believe to be the most competent to interpret with success the system of which I am the author, and which, I hope, will soon produce in the schools of Canada, and more especially in those of Toronto, where you teach, the same favorable results which it has produced in the more important Colleges and best Institutions in the United States.

Please accept the feeling of sincere friendship and the true regard with which

I am, my dear Pernet,

Your most devoted

LOUIS PUJOL.
