ceptors, London. The form of Lectures leads to the

use of the first personal pronoun more frequently than

SECOND EDITION.

The book has been revised, and a short chapter on the teaching of French has been added. The Lectures have occasionally been broken up so as to make the volume more suitable as a text-book, and certain expressions omitted or modified which are apt to suggest themselves to a Lecturer as effective.

Many,

however, are left which could not have been excised without altering the whole form of the book.
