collection will, it is hoped,The foUowing meet
*theneedsofteachersofvarious cîcgrees of modemity*.
It 18 an attempt to give boys an idea of the hi«tory
ofour neighbours while teiK'hingthem their language.
It is meant as a rendin book for young boys, andg
the pièces are .such that boys will easily remember
the meaning when they liave translated them once
or twice. After that it will be sufficient to read the
text, which eannot be done too often.
£ach pièce contains as much incident and détail
gives scope for lai<ge numl^eras possible, and thus a
of questions to be asked and answered either in
French or English.
There is also constant répétition of usefùl word«
the time theand phrases in différent settings. By
book lia« been read through, thèse will be not only
the pupils. Onlinaryknown but quite familiar to
and Htraightfor>vard modes of expression hâve been
with fair knowledgeused as much as possible, and, a
be abh*of a nmîil>er of the pièces, boys should to
Write in French of t-ome of theira simple account
ordinary actions and exi)erience8.PREPACSTÎ
Fr^ncliThe subjeci-matter hat been drawn fnmi
Hlatory, th^ subjects chosen being nminljr iïnmi
whieh are fainiliAr to eveiy Frcnch boy. A few
bave been incliidod becauae ihey throw a sidelight
on Engliiih hintorical i^eraonagea and on tfae con-
nexion two pîeeesbeiween the cotintriea. The
fielected hâve been extraeted from manj sourcea, but
bave ail been aîmplified to fionie extent, aeveraland
bave been entirely rewritten. Where possible, con-
teinponiry chroniclee and mémoire bave been uaed :
for Froii^sart of theinatance, for the period Hundred
YearsWar; forVoltaireandSaint-Simon LouisXIY ;
for LouiaXVI and XVII, the mémoire ofClén% the
faithful servant of the royal family ; for Napoléon,
the mémoire of bis companions, theComtes de Sëgiir
and de Las Caaea. The historiés of Sismondi and
Anquetil bave alao been very uaefuL
I bave avoided quoting dates, even in tbe notas,
thinking tliot the approximate period ofeaeh eveni
would be sufBciently indicated by tlie illustrations»
The pieoes are, however, in chronological ordor.
