Ollendorff's French Grammars have been before the public so long, and have had their merits so generally acknowledged, that it is unnecessary to enter into any detailed description of their peculiarities or lengthy argument in their favor. Suffice it to say, that they are founded in nature, and follow the same course that a child pursues in first acquiring his native tongue.
Prof. Greene's Introduction, the first of the works named above, will be found useful for young beginners. In it are presented the fundamental principles of the language, carefully culled out, and illustrated with easy exercises. It paves the way for the larger works, preparing the pupil's mind for their more comprehensive course and awakening in it a desire for further knowledge.
Value's and Jewett's works are essentially the same, though differing somewhat in their arrangement and the additions that have been made to the original. Some institutions prefer one, and others the other; either, it is believed, will impart a thorough acquaintance with French, both grammatical and conversational, by an interesting process, and with but little outlay of time and labor.
