Models of Juvenile French Conversation. By M. De la
Claverie, Professor, in Liverpool. London : Simpkin,

Marshall, and Co

This is a judiciously-planned manual for the use of juve-
nile students in the French language. The phrases, whilst
simplicity iepreserved, have just sufficient idiom in them to
make the acquirement of peculiarities of that nature almost
the pupil. In this respect the book has our
warmest commendation. Besides this, the dialogues have
that lifelike and practical character, the want of which is so
ranch felt in many similar productions. We therefore re-
commend this little work as one of the most successful ef-
forts of the author.
