Excerpt from France of the French When a writer has spent a long course of years in a foreign country he needs to have his interest awakened in many things, which by force of custom or familiarity may have ceased to stir his curiosity or surprise. In writing France of the French, I have found this interest return to me, such as I knew it in the days when I was a wayfarer on the roads and by the rivers, through forests and in desert places, of this pleasant land, and before such wandering to gather knowledge and impressions had to yield to official duties.

Excerpt from Second Year In French The end aimed at by every student of a modern language should be not only to read it, but also to speak and write it correctly. As the knowledge of a language evidently consists of these three essential acquirements, to neglect one of them is a mistake that no serious argument can justify.

Excerpt from France and the French This has no pretension to be a monumental work, dull and didactic, laying down the law and instructing the French in the art of living. It is an attempt to present a moving picture of this intellectual and brilliant people, a picture founded upon personal observation and inspired by strong sympathies. We have had books in quantity of a statistical sort: minute descriptions of French institutions, and an analysis of their differences from the English. We have had, also, books that deal frivolously with the French, as with a people who are infantile and have no right to the name of serious men and women. Such books are legion, too. If they translate French, it is literally done; and we are asked to laugh, not at the crudities of the performing clown, but at the folly of his subjects of ridicule. The French are not a frivolous people - I hope I show it in this book; I hope, also, that I demonstrate some of their other qualities, too often disregarded by their portraitists and historians.

Excerpt from The French Verb A short time ago Mr. Wm, R. Jenkins, encouraged by the success of his publications in French, came to the conclusion, that there was not only room, but perhaps even a call, for another work on French Verbs. It was to be a concise, but convenient handbook for the younger learner as well as for the advanced student. The kind reception, on the part of the Public, of some French Dramas, published by him, as annotated by the Author, led him to entrust the carrying out of this plan to the latter. The author has brought to this new effort to facilitate the study of the French Verb the experience of over forty years in teaching French in this University, and the utmost patience combined with untiring research. But when it is remembered that the French Academy counts over forty thousand Verbs, and that the Brothers Bescherelles have filled two huge volumes with their List of French Verbs, it will be seen that the task is one of equal size and difficulty. And yet, the Verb is the essential element of Language - hence its name, Verbum, the Word by eminence, - which is more frequently used than any other part of speech. No man can speak or write correctly, who is not a perfect master of the Verb, and to add to correctness, precision, French vivacity and elegance, the nicest use of the many forms and inflections of the French Verb is necessary.

Excerpt from French History for English Children The country which we now call France was not always called so, nor were the people who live in it always called the French. When it is first mentioned, which is in old Latin books written more than 1800 years ago, it is called Gallia, or Gaul, and the people are spoken of as Gauls. Gaul was in some respects the same as France is now, and in some respects very different. It was the same, or nearly the same, in its mountains, rivers, and some of the chief towns it was different in its roads, fields, villages, and, more than all, in the people who lived in it. 'when I say that some of the towns were the same, I do not mean that they look the same now as they did then, but that the Gauls had towns in many of the places where the French now have them, and that they have lasted with almost the same names ever Since.
