Petit Lecteur des Corteges; or, the French Reader. By M.

Le Page. (Virtue, Brothers, and Co.)—A work for beginners, remarkable for the pains which the author has taken to insure correct pronunciation. Imme- diately under each word in the reading is a phonetic rendering of it, so that the child may catch the sound with its eye before it comes to the word itself. There are also a few questions to each reading, to insure attention to the meaning as well as words of the lesson.
