Book Description

Excerpt from Illustrated First Book in French The present work is intended for children who can read, but who have not yet any knowledge of the grammar of their own language. For this class of scholars object-teach ing seems the most suitable; that is, connecting the instruo tion with an object presented to the eye. This mode has been generally followed in the lessons in this book. Pictures have been prepared for the purpose, and the lessons, in Part First, directly refer to the objects in the pictures. Each lesson is headed by a name, which, in connection with the illustration, helps to impress the subject-matter of the les son upon the mind, enables the student to recall it more readily, and creates a more lively interest. In Part Second, the lessons refer to the illustrations in Part First, recall the name of each picture, enlarge upon the subject, and, by associating new ideas with it, keep alive the interest.
