Students of the French language will find in this wide-ranging textbook a mass of information and ideas. Teachers will appreciate its useful exercises and bibliographies. And there is food for thought here for all those who wish to improve their understanding of the vagaries and puzzles of the French vocabulary. <br>-Theodore Zeldon, St. Anthony's College, Oxford <br>
