Various limitations have been made OF his natche>s

mos; successful imitation Is that made by JULIEN
poRFT o. Paris, German teacher, INTO whose hands

who appropriated II Is invention OF his own IN
der the following circumstances. 4 Brisoaile' ESQ.,
studied the French with John Manesca IN 1873 lie
copied the lessons which he received from Manesca
INTO blank book, which he used for study ana REFER
ence. In ISIS he went TO Paris and during his resi-
dence there. he studied the German Manassas
plan the teacher he employed was Mr. oHendorh-
He used N ms studies the book OF french lessons
mentioned above, which, during the months OF stnav
with Nj Ollendor was a; repeated intervals. IN his
hands few years afterwards, Mr o. published his
work which with some unmpor'ant changes, Is
neither more less than a copy of The course OF
lessons IN the possession OF Nr. Brisbane. Mr. y.
has published an account of the transaction IN
pamphlet form. which shows that Ollendorf's book
IS merely copy of course Of lessons received orig
inally from Manesca. The author OF the present
work states in he preface that Mr. u has not COM
pretended the philosophy Of the method, and has
nearly ruined the system by the false manner OF COM
municating the lessons and the defective exercises
In 1895, ten year. after Mr. Brisbane received his
course of lessons from Manesca the latter published
his work lie made A. he claims many improve
ments in that time. The author Of the present work
has had twelve years experience in teaching on tins
method par, of the time with the father Of the

himself twenty-five years OF experience have con-
scquently been gained since Nh Brisbane took his
course Of lessons the basis OF OlcnGorr. thus, With
philosophical comprehension o. the method. must
guarantee a work tina, excels all H. rivals winch IN
our opinion is the case. The wol-MoHn character
of Manesca's and Ollendorf's books dSpenses with
the necessity of entering INTO a description Of the
