DR . DE FIVAS ' FRENCH EDUCATIONAL WORKS . ' The educational works of Dr . De Fivas have heen so long before the public that we need not do more than add our testimony to that of our confreres , whose favourable verdict has already accounted for their popularity . The * Grammaire des Grammaires is remarkable for its conciseness and its simplicity . The ' Introduction , especially prepared for beginners , contains a carefully-selected series of extracts , both in prose and in poetry , with a dictionary . In the Tresor National' we have a graduated set of exercises to be translated at sight by the help of a vocabulary at the end of the volume . Under the title of l Beautes des Bcrivains ' Francois , Anciens et ModernesJ Dr . De Fivas has published a reading-book of a higher standard than the Introduction , and meant to suit the requirements of pupils who have already made some progress in the knowledge of the language . —School Board Chronicle .
