Excerpt from Exercises in French Prose Composition Though no reference is made to any grammar, the student should frequently consult his grammar upon any matter in which he is in doubt. The vocabulary is a special one, containing over one thousand of the most common words, and also much guid ance to correct translation. The notes fulfill a double function: they arrest attention upon special points of construction, and convey such aid in the choice of words and idioms as could not be inserted in the vocabulary. It need only be added that the preparation of the exercises should be followed by oral practice in class upon the same material, until the student gains uency and confidence.
