Excerpt from A Brief French Grammar This work has been prepared in response to a call for a grammar which should do for French what the author's Brief German Grammar does for German: namely, present the most important facts of the language in the briefest form consistent with accuracy and clearness of statement. Much of the material of this book has been used in the author's larger French Grammar, but the arrangement is here entirely differ ent, the treatment of the irregular verbs especially being much condensed.
