THE SECOND FRENCH COURSE is the result of many years' experience in the treatment of the French Language as Author, Teacher, Lecturer, and Examiner. The method which has been adopted in the preparation of the following pages is likely to be greatly helpful to the pupil. The Irregular Verbs have been arranged in a convenient form for study, and in a manner likely to impress them upon the memory of the student. The Rules of Syntax comprehend everything which is necessary at this stage of progress, while the carefully graduated Exercises afford the learner an excellent opportunity of testing their application. The Passages for Translation have been carefully selected to familiarise the student with idiomatic and other difficulties. They are of progressive difficulty, and have been chosen chiefly from modern French Authors. These extracts are followed by a comprehensive Vocabulary of all the words and phrases which are included in the Course.
