French Examination Papers (D. Nutt), is, perhaps, a misleading

title. The book contains a collection of papers in French grammar and literature, including passages for translation into and from French, set at the University of London, at Woolwich and Sand- hurst, at the Staff College, at the competitive examinations for the Indian Civil Service, and at the local examinations of the Universities (not as printed on the title-page, " University ") of Oxford and Cam- bridge. In this age of cramming and constant "exams.," such a work is likely to find plenty of supporters. It is edited by Professor C. Ruble, late German Master at Woolwich.
