Essentials of the French Language
"ESSENTIALS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE," is the title of a comprehensive little volume of 175 pages, recently published for the author, Prof. P. M. Clerc, 1240 San Pablo Ave., Oakland, Cal. The author of this treatise correctly reasons that the most of those who study French do so for the purpose of learning the language primarily, rather than its usages, which will readily follow. He therefore has endeavored to bring out, more by example than rule, the fundamental principles of this beautiful language. The work presents in a clear and concise manner the essentials of the French language, and analytically, as well as by its methodical arrangement, leaves little but simple study for both teacher and pupil.
