reading,  and  to  be  used  in  drill;  ##dse  exercises  in  syntax.

classical  period  of  French  literature  These  texts  are  to  be
studied  not  only  for  the  language,  but  also  for  the  thoughts  of
great  men  of  the  past;  for  the  light  they  throw  on  the  manners
and  customs  of  a  great  age  in  the  history  of  civilization;  and
from  a  literary  point  of  view,  as  works  of  art.

The  texts  are  convenient  in  size  and  the  type  is  excellent.
Many  of  them  are  equipped  with  two-color  maps.
