The success attending the PRINCIPIA LATINA' and the INITIA GRÆCA,' which practical teachers have found the easiest books for learning Latin and Greek. has led to the application of the same method to the French and German Languages. There is an obvious advantage in a beginner learning a new language on the plan with which he is already familiar. These books combine the advantage of the older and more modern methods of instruction. Their main object is to make the study of the language as easy and simple as possible, to enable a beginner to acquire an accurate knowledge of the chief grammatical forms, to learn their usage by constructing simple sentences as soon as he commences the study of the language, and to accumulate gradually a stock of words useful in conversation as well as in reading.
