THE CUMULATIVE METHOD

Easy Lessons in French, according to the Cumulative Method, adapted to Schools and Home Instruction. By Adolphe Dreyspring. Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, 70 cents.

"I have a class of six young ladies who have nearly completed the book. I am much pleased with the method. Indeed, it is the best introductory work to the study of French that I have ever seen."--From W. T. Dumas, Monticello, Ga.

"The success of 'The Cumulative Method' in German being assured, the adaptation of the system to the French language was a foregone conclusion. The distinctive features of this little volume are: 1. Presentation of the normal phases of the language first. 2. Selection of its elementary material, with special reference to what is usually in sight. 3. Development of the first needs of speech. 4. Unfolding of the language out of itself. 5. A vocabulary within reasonable bounds. 6. A constant revolving of the accumulating material, under ever-varied forms and new combinations. 7. Special care to interest the student, and to preserve his enthusiasm for the study. It will prove an invaluable aid to all in the study of French."--Christian at Work, New York.
