PREFACE colleagues,This volume, like Book i., is the joint work of my Mr. T. R. N. Crofts, Mr. J. B. Patterson, Mr. H. Rieu, and myself. If we may judge by varions expressions of opinion we hâve received, the alliance has justified its existence what- ever the defects of its work may be. A few remarks on the methods and aims we hâve in view may be helpful. (i) The book is chiefly intended for pupils between the âges of eleven and fîfteen, who hâve done aboiit two years' French by any method. It is not essential that they should hâve used Book I., but a more advaneedknowledge of French is presupposed. The text is divided into three parts. The first part (Lessons i.-viii.) deals with a limited number of everyday subjects. Its object is to form an introduction to Reform methods for pupils who are not familiar with them, and to practise ail pupils in useful vocabulary. The method of treat- ment is such that it can be applied to a great variety of sub- jects by any class under the direction of the master.
