THE FRENCH MANUAL: A new, simple,
conversational knowledge of the French
Language including a dictionary of over
ten thousand Msp words by no Ce.
Indianapolis: Stewart, Bowen d Co.
The object of this book is to ena-
bic persons to gain complete know
ledge of the French language as 1t is
at present spoken, without dragging
the learner through an interminable
maze of confused rules, as is the ordi-
nary way of mastering that language.
1t is very difficult for those who have
followed the tedious courses of French
hitherto followed, to -express~th ems
selves intelligently on the ordinary
topics of every day life, or to give an
order to a servant. NJ. Havet seeks
to Overcome this dificultyin his Book.
and he hopes to make the language
familiar to those who solicit his aid
to master these difficulties.
