PujoPs Complete French Class-Book. 



TESTIMONIALS. 

 From Trof. Elias Peissnee, TJiiion College. 

 I take great i)lcasai"e in recommeiKling Pujol and Van Norman's French ClaeS" 

 Book, as there is 'U) yrench grammar or class-book which can be compared with 

 it in completeness, system, clearness, and general utility. 



F'-om Edwaed Nouth, President of Hamilton College. 

 I have ca'i'pfully examined Pujol and Yan Norman's French Class-Book, and am 

 satisfied jf its superiority, for college purposes, over any other heretoiore used. 

 .We shall i' jt fail to use it with our next class in French. 



Fr^?r A. Cuutis, Preset of Cincinnati Literary and Scientific Institute. 

 I am confident that it may be made an instrument in conveying to the student, 

 'n fr'jir, six month:? to a year, the art of speaking and writing the French with 

 ftlmost native fluency and propriety.

I have used Pujol's French Grammar in my two seminaries, exclusively, for 

 2iore than a year, and have no hesitation in saying that I regard it the best text- 

 book in this department extant. And my opinion is confirmed by the testimony 

 of Prof F. De Launay and Madcmci::cllo Mariuuin. They assure me that the 

 book is eminently accurate and practical, as tested in the school-room. 



From Pegs'. Tdeo. F. De Fusiat, Hebrew Educational Institute, Memphis, Tenn. 

 M. Pujol's French Grammar is one of the best and most practical works. The 

 French language is chosen and elegant in style— modern ard easy. It is far su- 

 perior to tlie other French class-bocks in this country. The t election of tlie con- 

 versational part is A'ery good, and Avill interest pupils ; and beirg all complet( d in 

 only one volume, it is especially desirable to have it introduced in our schools. 



From Peof. James II. Woeman, Bordeniovm Female College, N. J. 

 The work is upon the same plan as the text-books for the study of French and 

 English published in Berlin, for the study of thotev.ho have not the aid of a 

 teacher, and these books are considered, by the ^iveX authorities, the best books. 

 In most of our institutions, Americans teach the modcrji languages, and hereto- 

 fore the troitble has been to give them a text-book that would clispoFe of the 

 difficulties of the Frencli pronunciation. This difficulty is successfully removed 

 by P. and Yan N., and I have every reason to believe it v. ill soon make its way 

 into most of our best schools. 



From Pkof. Chaeles S. Dod, Ann Smith Academy, Lexington, Va. 

 I cannot do better than to recommend " Pujol and Yan Norman." For compre- 

 hensive and systematic arrangement, progrcfsivo and tkorciigh dc\clopmcut of 

 all grammatical principles and idioms, v.itli a duo admixture ortbcoictical knowl- 

 edge and practical exercise, I regard it as superior to any (other) book of tie kind. 



From A. A. Foester, Prin. PineJiurst ScJiccl, Toronto, C. W. 

 1 have great satisfaction in bearing testimony to M. rnjcl's System of French 

 Instruction, as given in hi ? complete cl'^cs-book. For dcarness and comprehen- 

 siveness, adapted for all classes cf pnpil:^, I have found it superior to any other 

 vvork of the kind, and have nov/ used"it for some years in my establishment Mith 

 great success. 



Fi'om Peof. Otto Feddee, Ilcpleivood Lisiitutz, Pittsfidd, Mass. 

 The conversational exercises will prove an immense saving of the hardest kind 

 Di labor to teachers. Thcie is scarcely .iny thing mord trying in tlic way of 

 teaching language, than to rack your bf.ain "for short and easily intcllin-ible bits 

 of conversation, and to repeat them time and again with no better re- ult than 

 extorting at long intervals a doubting '• oui," or a hesitating " non, monsici:r " 



2:3?" For further testimony of a similar character, sec Fpccl-i) circular, and 

 currcxit numbers of the Educational Bulletin.
