Synopsis

This grammar is prepared with special reference to the needs of our American schools and colleges. I ts limit for it purposely disavows all claims to completeness is determined by the average time devoted to French in such institutions ;and its method, by practical as well as critical aims. To meet a twofold need, first, of an easy and rapid introduction to reading, secondly, of a critical exposition of both grammar and syntax, the book is divided into two parts, each forming by itself an independent whole. The First Part is intended to enable the learner to begin reading with profit at the earliest practicable moment, or in from three to six weeks. It contains merely an elementary outline of the essentials ofF rench pronunciation and accidence (some indispensable syntactical directions included), as well as accompanying exercises. The rules are purposely few, and as simple as has seemed compatible with accuracy of statement. Details and exceptions are left to theS econd Part, where each of the subjects contained here, as well as others, receives fuller and independent treatment. Though entirely elementary, this First Part is thought to contain sufficient material for its purpose. It may even be all that is needed where only a minimum of time can be given to grammar, or where scholars are too young to undertake a more earnest study of details. The Second Part is intended for a more critical study of the language after reading has begun.
