Excerpt from Exercises in French Syntax and Composition: With Notes and Vocabulary
Part II. Consists of interesting selections for connected trans lation, taken from French sources and relating to French topics, chiefly historical, biographical, and literary. The style of these selections, however, is neither stiff nor formal, as is too apt to be the case with composition work on these subjects. My aim has'not been to impose upon the pupil a polish and an elegance Of expression which would be unnatural to him if he were using his own tongue, but to furnish him with ordinary, though correct and idiomatic, English, so constructed that, with the aids given, it might readily be turned into good French. The size and character of the vocabulary will show that quite a variety of styles has been exemplified.
