From the North American Review, for October, 1838.

   "The Letters from Palmyra, or Zenobia, is one of the most brilliant addi-
tions to American Literature. To have fallen on a subject of such admirable
capabilities, and unappropriated by previous seekers after attractive themes for
works of fiction, was a piece of rare good 'fortune in an age of such literary
abundance as the present -- to have treated it in a manner fully equal to its de-
mands on the imagination, required high powers, persevering labor, and the
keenest perception. All which has been done in this beautiful work."

   Mons. B. F. Bugard, author of the "French Practical
Translator," after devoting several years of intense study
and labour, has produced a new French Grammar, which
we think will tend, more than any other in present use, to
induct pupils into the knowledge and structure of the French
Language.

   From a practical examination of this new work, and an
acquaintance with the author's talents and experience in
teaching, we can confidently recommend "The French
Practical Teacher" to all those who wish to acquire the
language, either with or without an instructer, as one of the
best manuals for the purpose ever written.

   `French Practical Teacher. -- Mons. B. F. Bugard, author of the "French
Practical Translator," a work of distinguished merit, has just given to the public
`A complete Grammar of the French Language, on the progressive principle: com-
prising two hundred and forty-four exercises, mostly written in the style of conver-
sation;' to which is added a comprehensive vocabulary of the words of the ex-
ercises.

   `The plan of the work is ingenious and new. It differs from all grammars hith-
erto published, especially in the order of the rules and composition of the exercises,
in which not any part of speech is employed until its use has been fully stated
and illustrated. One of the peculiarities of the work, and one of its excellences
too, is, that the rules are all numbered, and the words of the exercises have over
them corresponding numbers, or the numbers of the rules to be referred to for their
translation. This arrangement not only affords the student a sure and easy guide,
but it obviates the necessity of directly committing the rules to memory; and thus
relieves him from a burden of no inconsiderable magnitude, the dread of encounter-
ing which has discouraged thousands from attempting the acquisition of this elegant
and fashionable language. In his progress through the exercises, he is so frequently
under the necessity of referring to the rules, that he necessarily and practically learns
and retains them, without extra or unpleasant effort. To attain this object, the au-
thor was obliged to adopt a new classification of certain words, such as mon, ma, mes,
ton, &c. which in most grammars are called adjective pronouns, but which he has
classed among the articles. We have not room to state the reasons which are urged
in justification of this change. To our own mind they are entirely satisfactory, and
we believe will be generally so received. It has been adopted by the author after
great deliberation, and as the result of eight years' experience in teaching the
language.'

SMALL | MEDIUM

   "We confidently commend the work to the attention of teachers and students.
The adoption of it would be of mutual advantage, as both would be relieved of
much unnecessary and vexatious labor. The community, and especially that part
of it who are engaged in the teaching or study of the language, are much indebted
to Mons. Bugard, not only for the present excellent work, but for his `Practical
Translator,' indisputably the best work of its character ever presented to the Amer-
ican public."

Bunker-Hill Aurora, and Boston Mirror, Oct. 1838.

   French Practical Teacher. -- The North American Review for October,
1838, speaks of this work in high terms of recommendation. It will probably soon
become the class-book in all our seminaries where the French Language is taught.
The Review says:

   "We recommend this book to the attention of all teachers and students of the
French Language. It is the best of its kind that has over fallen in our way; and
we should think it impossible for any one of tolerable capacity to go through it
faithfully, without a very competent knowledge of French. The student is taken
through a series of rules and exercises, in which no part of speech is employed, until
its use has been fully stated and illustrated. The Rules are numbered, and there
are abundant references to them by figures in the Exercises. At the end of the
book is a Vocabulary of all the words used in the Exercises, so that no other Dic-
tionary is wanted in writing them. The whole plan is carried through with great
care and fidelity. Fabricando fit faber is the author's motto; and he has produced a
work calculated, we think, to facilitate, in no ordinary degree, the student's labour
in acquiring the French Language."

North Amer. Rev.

   "Bugard's French Teacher. -- Munroe & Francis, of Boston, have just published
a work, entitled, `The French Practical Teacher.' There are a number of good
French Grammars extant -- indeed good books on almost every study abound among
us -- but after having carefully examined this work of Mr. Bugard, we are strongly
impressed in its favor -- it appearing to us decidedly superior to any French Grammar
we have seen. The plan of it is in a great degree original -- and we are induced to
believe, that it will take the place of other Grammars of the French language. With
this work, and Mr. Bugard's Practical Translator, a person may easily master the
French language without any other assistant."

Mercantile Journal, Oct. 17, 1838.

From Professor Elton, Providence, R. I.

Brown University, Nov. 8th, 1838.
Dear Sir,

   I have examined with much pleasure your "French Practical Teacher," and
consider it as decidedly superior to the French Grammars generally used. It is ex-
ecuted throughout with judgment and ability; the arrangement is lucid and philo-
sophical, the rules are developed with perspicuity, and the exercises are highly ap-
propriate and admirably adapted to the practical purposes of instruction. I trust
the work will meet with a favorable reception from the public.

Very respectfully, yours,


ROMEO ELTON.


Mons. B. F. Bugard.
P. S. I wished to examine your Grammar fully before I gave a recommendation,
or I should have written you earlier.

MONS. BUGARD'S
PRACTICAL TRANSLATOR.

   

SMALL | MEDIUM

TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF THE
FRENCH LANGUAGE.

   French Practical Translator; or, easy method of learning to translate
French into English. Containing I. a treatise on French pronuncia-
tion; II. the general principles for the use of the parts of speech, and
directions for finding them in any dictionary; III. a collection of in-
teresting exercises, the difficulties of which are calculated gradually
to increase with the knowledge of students; IV. a vocabulary of the
different words used in the exercises.

Second Edition. 1837.

   This is the title of a book intended to teach how to
translate French into English, the plan of which is en-
tirely new, and calculated to promote the improvement
of those who use it, more than any that has been offered
to the public. With it students can at first commence
the translation of the exercises it contains, after having
merely read the French Grammar, which they practically
learn in translating, without being obliged to commit it
to memory.

   The rapid sale of its first edition shows evidently that
the want of such a book must have been felt, and that it
has proved to be very acceptable, as may be seen from
the following recommendations, which we respectfully
present to the public with its second edition.

RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE NEW PRACTICAL TRANSLATOR.

Letter

Boston, May 5, 1835.
Sir,

   I have examined the sheets you put into my hands, and am happy to say, that I
think your work will be found, both by teachers and pupils a valuable auxiliary
in the acquisition of the French language. The manner in which you have
obviated the principal difficulties in the first lessons, and the general plan of the
work, make it a very useful first book for those who are old enough to study with
some degree of judgment and discrimination.

Very respectfully, yours,


T. B. HAYWARD.

   I have examined the sheets of the New Practical Translator, and believe that
the work will be very useful as an introduction to the translating French into
English, as it affords an easy explanation of most of the difficulties that are apt to
embarrass beginners.

Letter

Boston, May 8th, 1835
Dear Sir,

   I have long felt the want of a "First Book" for beginners in the French Lan-
guage, upon the progressive principles which you have adopted, and shall show
how sincere I am in this recommendation of your undertaking, by the immediate
introduction of the "New Practical Translator" into my school.

Respectfully yours,


GEORGE FOWLE,
Teacher of the Boy's Monitorial School.

Letter

Boston, May 8th, 1835.
Sir,

   I have looked over the sheets of your "New Practical Translator," and am
much pleased both with the plan of the work, and with the style of its execution.
It must form a valuable accession to the means already within the reach of the
young for acquiring a knowledge of the French Language; and, if it finds with
the public that measure of favour which it merits, I am satisfied that you will
have no cause to complain that your labours, in this department of instruction,
have not been well received or well rewarded.

Very respectfully, yrs.


JOHN PIERPONT.

Letter

Boston, May 11, 1835.
Dear Sir,

   I have examined attentively the plan of your "New Practical Translator," and,
to some extent, the mode in which the plan has been executed. The work appears
to me to be well adapted to promote the improvement of those who are commenc-
ing the study of the French Language. The real difficulties, in the progress of
the student, he is furnished with the means of overcoming, while such as will
yield to moderate industry, he is judiciously left to surmount by his own efforts.

Very respectfully, your friend,


E. A. ANDREWS.

The plan and execution of the author appear to me judicious, and I am acquainted

French language.

lator, which you were kind enough to send me. As far as I am able to judge, I

Mons. B. F. Bugard,

Sir

    -- It gives me much pleasure to express the high opinion I entertain of the
"New French Practical Translator," as an introduction to the study of the French
language. The plan of it is very judicious. While those difficulties are removed
which perplex and discourage young learners, it demands sufficient exercise of the
pupil's own powers to keep alive the interest arising from the consciousness of
successful effort.

Very respectfully, yours,

Letter

School for Moral Discipline, Oct. 28th, 1835.
My Dear Sir,

   I should be happy if I could from my own knowledge give you a recommenda-
tion of your book, the Practical Translator. But, from my own little knowledge
and from the most thorough information I can obtain, I am satisfied that we have
no so valuable book of its kind for the study of the French language, and have
therefore introduced it into my school.

I am, dear sir, very respectfully, your friend,

Dear Sir,

   I have examined with much pleasure the new French Practical Translator,

ginners, as it removes many difficulties, which have heretofore embarrassed them.
I shall immediately introduce it into my school.

Mons. B. F. Bugard,

Dear Sir,

    -- It gives me great pleasure to add my testimonial in favour of your
"New Practical Translator," to the many you have already received. I have
used the work with a great many pupils in this institution, and find it a very ex-
cellent and interesting manual. It is of great service in removing the difficulties
which beginners encounter at the commencement of their French Studies. I wish
you much success in introducing it into our Schools and Academies.

Truly yr. friend,
