"Mons. Le Page's excellent little work has, we are happy to perceive, run through several editions with all the celerity it deserved. His book is decidedly the best we have seen for aiding the instruction of English children in the rudiments of the French language; inasmuch as it approaches nearest to that best of all possible methods, familiar conversation.---Morning Post.

"The first of the works comprised in this collection is so well known to the public, and has met with so large a sale, that we need not further notice it. To the utility of the two latter works we beg to offer our unqualified testimony of praise. In THE LAST STEP TO FRENCH we have a grammar of the language, superior, in our opinion, to any that has preceded it, both in sound etymological research, and in the simplicity of its arrangement; whilst the collection of M. Le Page's three works into a single volume furnishes a complete library for the student in French, and at the same time a manual of conversation, enabling him at once both to learn and to speak the language "-Parthenon.

By Mons. LE PAGE, author of L'Echo de Paris,' &c.
