"Segunda edicion" of this Mexican French lesson book based on the "Ollendorf method," a manner of teaching languages with an emphasis on practice rather than theory promoted by German linguist Heinrich Gottfried Ollendorff. The method became popular in France, England, and the United States during the latter half of the 19th century, but has less of a track record in Mexico. We locate only one copy of the present edition, at the BNM, and none of the first.
