If any proof were needed of this assertion, we should only have to point to the fact that they have gone through so many editions and still retain their popularity. This is a certain index to real worth, for though the public may sometimes be caught with a worthless book, it is absolutely impossible for it to reach further than a second edition at the most.' wwww CIVIL SERVICE GAZETTE. THE attention of Ladies and Gentlemen engaged in teaching French is respectfully requested to these Books and to the Literary Notices contained within. They have passed through numerous editions, and are extensively used all over Great Britain, Ireland, and the Colonies, where they may be had of every Bookseller, with a liberal allowance to Ladies and Gentlemen engaged in Tuition.

NEW GRAMMAR OF FRENCH GRAMMARS, By V. DE FIVAS, M.A., LL.D. Comprising the substance of all the most approved French Grammars extant, but more especially of the standard work 'La Grammaire des Grammaires,' sanctioned by the French Academy and the University of Paris. With numerous Exercises and Examples illustrative of every Rule. This is not a mere Outline, but a Complete Grammar of the French Language, containing not only a full view of all the different Parts of Speech, and structure of the French Language, but copious Exercises on every Rule and Note on Syntax. Besides, so short and perspicuous are the Definitions, Rules, and Notes in this Grammar, that the Student will acquire as much knowledge of French with it in six months as he will in twelve with the aid of all the Volumes hitherto published. The following are a few of the numerous Literary Notices of this Work: 'Its precision and conciseness are admirable.' STANDARD. At once the simplest and most complete Grammar of the French Language. To the Pupil, the effect is almost as if he looked into a map, so well defined is the course of study as explained by M. de Fivas.' LITERARY GAZETTE. If there is any one who is not acquainted with the book, who is engaged either in studying or teaching the French Language, we can confidently recommend it to attention, as one of the most useful books that can be put into the hands of a learner.' EDUCATIONAL TIMES. This Grammar is the most systematic and distinct that we have seen. The work is simple. in its arrangements, clear and precise in its definitions, and the Exercises under each head most appropriate and useful.' CHRONICLE. This Grammar is the most concise, philosophical, and satisfactory which has come under our notice.' EDINBURGH JOURNAL. The distinguishing feature of this work is its embodiment of the latest changes and modifications of the French Language. In the writing and arrangement of the work M. de Fivas has displayed great skill.' SCOTSMAN. The very best of the many able works which the present day has produced to meet the requirements of the Students of the French language-in other words, of all who aim at belonging to the educated classes.' PUBLIC OPINION. De Fivas' French Educational Works. 3 Literary Notices of the GRAMMAR OF FRENCH GRAMMARS-continued. 'Thoroughly trustworthy as a school-book and assistant to the self-teacher, this "New Grammar of French Grammars" appears in a thirty-third edition ! What more need be said? No adverse criticism-which is impossible-could injure its popularity; no praise-which is superfluous-can aid its wide dissemination.' EUROPEAN MAIL. 'We speak with personal knowledge of its terseness, clearness, and good. arrangement, and strongly recommend it.' ENGLISH CHURCHMAN. 'Of the many French Grammars which I have consulted, the one that I consider, upon close and frequent examination, to be the fullest, clearest, and most exact is the "Grammaire des Grammaires " of Dr. V. de Fivas.'-Rev. J. D. COLLIS, Honorary Canon of Worcester; late Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford; Head Master of the Grammar School of King Edward the Sixth, Bromsgrove. From Professor MARCEL.-'J'ai parcouru votre dernier ouvrage, "Grammaire des Grammaires," et, frappé de sa clarté et de sa concision, je lui ai reconnu sous ce rapport une grande supériorité sur les autres grammaires, aussi me suis-je empressé de la recommander à tous ceux qui désirent sc pénétrer des vrais principes de notre langue.' From Professor VOGUE.-'J'ai lu avec un vif intérêt votre Grammaire française. Je me suis convaincu de son mérite et de son utilité. Je ne manquerai pas de la recommander comme claire, exacte, et complète.' From Professor DUMAS.- Votre ouvrage bien que peu volumineux est clair et complet. Je ne recommanderai certainement jamais d'autre grammaire.' From Professor DUVAL.-' J'approuve beaucoup votre ouvrage et je me propose d'en faire usage: il est déjà entre les mains de plusieurs de mes élèves.' From Professor MESSIEUX.- Je me décide à donner la préférence à votre Grammaire, ayant le mérite d'être mieux arrangée, plus claire, et plus correcte que celle dont je me sers.' From Professor DE CANDOLE.-'J'ai cherché du mal dans votre ouvrage, mais je n'en ai pas trouvé ; je me suis fait critique, j'y ai perdu ma peine, car tout était juste, vrai. Vous avez retranché bien des inutilités dans le commencement, et dans la syntaxe que j'ai parcourue avec soin vous avez franchement abordé les difficultés et fait admirablement sentir les délicatesses de notre langue.' Price 3s. 6d. bound. A Key to the Grammar, Containing, besides a Translation of the Exercises, numerous Grammatical and Critical Remarks, not to be found in other Grammars. |
