Course of the French Language

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The book is intended to impart to the young student the easier principles Of the French language, and to give him a good knowledge Of the regular verbs, and of those irregular verbs which may be classified; in short, to form an Introduction to the New Method or Larger Course. The aim Of the author, in the whole course Of the work, has been to give Simple precepts, such as children may easily understand, and to illustrate the same by copious examples, easy to be imitated. Repetition in the rules has not been avoided where such repetition would render the meaning more intelligible. The frequent repetitions in the vocabularies are also intentional; and after the nouns, in these, the gender is indicated. This method has been preferred to that Of placing the article before such nouns.
