We have received a number of very useful "Short French

Two examples of each are before us : La Mule du Pape, (k c., par Alphonse Daudet, edited by T. H. Burbidge, M.A., and Les Quatorze Saints, par Von Riehl, edited by W. 0. Brigstocke, B.A. (second year). Le Tresor du Vieux Seigneur, par MM. Erckmann-Chatrian, edited by Miss Violet Stork, and L'Affaire des Contrebandiers, par R. Topffer, edited by H. M. O'Grady (third year) ; these are priced at 4d. Le Bienvenu, par Victor Hugo, edited by H. M. O'Grady, and Menzoires du General Marbot, edited by B. L. Raves, B.A., 6d. The titles are sufficient to show how good has been the choice. Questions and exercises have been supplied.
