A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

French anything more than a faithful rendering of the simplest and commonest idioms of his own language, and that even the wide limits of a four years university course do not tit the average student for attempting indiscriminately extracts from standard English authors or from literary and scientific articles.â I f, then, the prose given for translation must be very carefully chosen, it is evident that suitable material can not always be found ready to hand. The most elementary of the school reading-books, when tried, turns out too difficult. The style of the daily and other current journals is still more so. It therefore becomes necessary to prepare a collection of pieces which will provide variety of style without extreme ditiiculty of idiom. To furnish such a collection is the aim of the present manual. The work of selecting and adapting-and, in certain cases, composing-the pieces forming the collection has been performed with much care, and has occupied a good part of the leisure time of several years. A considerable number of the exercises have been tested in High School and University classes, and those which were still too difficult have been simplified. But before the test of the English exercises was definitely fixed, every line of them, including the imitative exercises of Part I, was written in French, and accompanied by variants and remarks for subsequent use in the notes and vocabularies. It is hoped that by this means the English text has been so constituted that it can be rendered into real French; and that the assistance required by a painstaking student from the teacher or the text-book will not prove to be excessive.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
