Excerpt from An Easy First French Reader: With Exercises Based on the Text

Though there is no lack of tales and short stories written purposely for French children, yet very few of them would suit the young pupils of our schools who begin the study of the French language. At the age of fourteen or thereabouts, boys and girls are no longer interested in fairy-tales, and can already find pleasure in the reading of texts of greater literary value. These, however, in their original form, are so replete with idiomatic phrases, peculiar structural forms, delicate shades of thought and expression, and irregular verbs, that they would surely prove too difficult for beginners of average talent.

To obviate this difficulty, great care has been taken, first, in selecting the subject-matter of this little volume, and, secondly, in adapting it to the capacity of those for whom it is intended. While preserving all the characteristic charm of the original narratives by Octave Feuillet, E. Laboulaye, Hegesippe Moreau, Felix Gras and others, the editor has not scrupled to take the liberty of cutting out condensing, and altering such parts and to such an extent as his purpose required.

Thus the text will be found easy and progressive, proceeding from the very simple to the more difficult by a regular gradation.
