Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Advanced French Prose Composition
The aim of this book is to render composition work more popular, both with teachers and students, by offering them an entertaining subject and a great variety of exercises.
The book is designed to be used two hours a week in the work of the second year in colleges and of the third and fourth years in high schools.
Therefore it is taken for granted that the students are familiar with the elementary rules of French grammar and with regular and irregular verbs.
The first part is prepared on the same plan as my "Introductory French Prose Composition," of which it is the continuation.
Grammar Review. - Every exercise is preceded by a list of the various rules which are to be applied. They are generally not stated, but only indicated. Any complete grammar may be used for references. At the beginning, and especially in preparatory schools, the teacher will indicate the paragraphs to be studied in connection with the rules enumerated in the Grammar Reviews, and the students will write the numbers of these paragraphs in the spaces which have been left purposely after every statement. Teachers should give the numbers of the paragraphs in French; it would be a good drill on numbers, which are so hard to understand and so useful for practical purposes.
