Excerpt from The Syntax of the Subjunctive Mood in French: For High Schools and Colleges

This treatise upon the most difficult subject connected with French syntax is the outgrowth of a smaller one prepared five years ago to meet the immediate wants of the author's own classes. It is now offered to a wider public in the hope that it may meet a demand made by teachers in our high schools and colleges. As the pupils in these institutions are mostly classical scholars, accustomed daily to trace the nice distinctions expressed by the moods and tenses in Greek and Latin, they naturally desire to gain an equally accurate and scholarly understanding of the various uses of the subjunctive in French, for the attainment of which the grammars used furnish little or no aid.

The nomenclature, the phraseology, and the subdivisions made are similar to those familiar to students of Latin, and attention is often called to corresponding constructions in the parent speech, in order to facilitate the comprehension of the subject by constant reference to principles already understood by the student.
