PITMAN'S FRENCH COMMERCIAL READER. Deals in an interest- 

 ing manner with the leading Commercial and National Institutions 

 of France. The reading matter is most carefully selected, and while 

 the student of French is improving his mastery of the language, he 

 is at the same time getting a good insight into French commercial 

 methods. Thus, while reading about invoices, the actual document 

 is brought under his notice. Additional value is given to the book 

 by the inclusion of questions and exercises. Maps, illustrations, 

 and facsimiles of French commercial documents illustrate the 

 text, and, in addition, the book contains a selection of commercial 

 letters, a full list of commercial abbreviations in current use, and 

 an exhaustive vocabulary. In crown 8vo, cloth, 208 pp., 2s. 6d. 



PITMAN'S GERMAN COMMERCIAL READER. Prepared on similar 

 lines to the French Commercial Reader above. It furnishes a 

 practical introduction to German commercial institutions and 

 transactions, with questions and exercises which render it well 

 suited for use in schools. Students are afforded the fullest help 

 possible from plates, illustrations, maps, and facsimiles of German 

 commercial documents. The text has had the benefit of revision 

 by modern language masters in well-known schools. In crown 8vo, 

 cloth, 208 pp., 2s. 6d.
