4. THE FIRST FRENCH BOOK: on the Plan of "Henry's First Latin
Book." By the Rev. T. K. ARNOLD, M.A. Price 5_s._ 6_d._
"Mr. Arnold has succeeded in preparing a work admirably adapted to
meet the wants of English students of the French language. The
philosophical explanation of the changes of consonants, together
with the frequent references to Latin words and idioms by way of
illustration and comparison, render it far superior as a
school-book to any other introduction, even from the pen of a
native writer. The sound principles of imitation and repetition
which have secured for the author a reputation widely extended and
well deserved are here happily exemplified. His account of the
differences of idiom is very satisfactory and complete: whoever
thoroughly masters it, will rarely want any thing further on the
subject."--_Athenæum._
