Hachette's Catalogue Raisonné OF NEW FRENCH EDUCATIONAL COURSE. THE study of modern languages has, during the last few years, entered upon a new stage of development in English Schools, and been thoroughly revolutionised by the progress of modern science. The natural consequence of this movement was at once to supersede the time-honoured grammars of Hamel, Lévizac, Wanostrocht, &c.; even Noël and Chapsal had to relinquish their claims, and a general demand sprang up for new educational works, in connection with the teaching, more particularly, of French. It is for the purpose of meeting this desideratum that Messrs. HACHETTE have issued the series of works, the list of which is appended, and which, taking the pupils from the nursery, lead them gradually on till they are qualified to compete for Scholarships and Exhibitions at the Universities. The complete Educational Catalogue may be had gratis on application. HACHETTE'S ILLUSTRATED FRENCH PRIMER; OR THE CHILD'S FIRST FRENCH LESSONS. French Master at Merchant Taylors' School, London. The easiest Introduction to the Study of French, with numerous Wood Engravings. NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION. 1 vol. small 8vo. cloth. Price 1s. 6d. "There is scarcely a page without a cleverly-executed engraving, and a child could certainly learn French from no better devised or more interesting manual."-Literary Churchman. GRAMMARS AND EXERCISE BOOKS. B.-ès-L., French The compiler of this little book has had in view to teach the young beginner as many French words as possible in the least tedious manner. He has found by experience that what children dislike most to learn are lists of words, however useful and well chosen, and that they very soon get weary of disconnected sentences, but commit to memory most readily a short nursery rhyme, anecdote, or fable. Hence the selection he has made. |
