Excerpt from Drury's Recreative French Grammar: Being in an Amusing Point of View, It Is Alike Suitable for School, Youth, or the Adult The author desires to call attention to some opinions of the press shown at the end, which had reference to his formerly "Comical French Grammar;" he thinks they may be accepted as peculiarly favourable to it. The Edition has since then been sold out. It did seem to him however there was an idea then prevalent, that had a similar kind of grammar suitable for schools and scholars appeared, it would have been most acceptable. He has therefore revised it, striving to make it adaptable alike for youth and adult without destroying its originality or comicality. To distinguish the present edition from the former one, he has altered the title to that of "Recreative French Grammar," which is easily to be understood, free from dry superfluities, yet full of everything necessary for a sure acquisition of the French language in a month, but only by those who will trouble themselves to go carefully and earnestly through it. All translations of examples from the French into English are rendered literally, so that the student may become accustomed to the general formation of French sentences.
