Book Description

Excerpt from A Scientific French Reader: Edited With Introduction, Notes And Vocabulary There is scarcely a science wherein the French do not occupy a leading position. To introduce the American student of science to that rich technical literature of which France is so justifian proud is the design of this Reader. Having but this purpose in view, 1 do not, of course, claim to supply in my selections the wants of all scientific schools. But since it is undoubtedly needful for our students to ac quire some general familiarity with French technical terms and style, the selections I have made bear chicfiy on sub jects representative of those branches with which the student as well as the teacher is best acquainted.
