Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Student's Companion, or Elementary Lessons and Exercises in Translating From English Into French The object of this little book is to present to the young student a coniensed View of the elements of the French lan guage, in a clear and simple manner, and, at the same time, to'lessen the fatigue incurred by the teacher in giving re peated verbal explanations of the most important rules of etymology. No attempt has been made to teach the syntax of the language, with the exception of a few fundamental rules, neither have many idioms been introduced the aim of the compiler being to avoid whatever might perplex 01; con fuse. This little work, it will be remembered, is not ih tended to take the place of a Grammar, but to prepare the pupil, by careful drilling, for larger and more com pfehensive treatises; and it is believed that any child, who can distinguish the different parts of speech in Eu glish, will be able to understand and learn the lessons without difficulty; and that, if they are thoroughly learned.
