N. B. The above-mentioned series of easy and simple elementary Books are all that are necessary to render an English Student sufficiently familiar with the French Language, for the purposes of reading and conversation. Every person must have been struck with the absurdity of the practice of putting the present voluminous, tedious, and perplexing French Grammars and their auxiliaries into the hands of children. Well educated Frenchmen are themselves unacquainted with half the subtleties which are attempted to be taught to children in English Schools. The Abbé Bossut's Books, on the contrary, contain nothing but essential points of information; they leave the pronunciation to the living Tutor, from whom as much will be learnt in an hour as by rule in a year; and, in respect to words and construction, they place the acquirement of the French Language, by an English child, exactly on the same footing as that on which it now stands to a native.
