Excerpt from French Composition Through Lord Macaulay's English, Vol. 2: Warren Hastings This is the second instalment of an attempt, the outcome of many years' experience, to drive French Composition home to the minds of English boys by the only rational way of teaching it, viz. By hints and careful guidance through the mazes of French construction. Macaulay's famous Essays have been chosen because, apart from their historical value and the interest they cannot fail to awaken, he is perhaps the most French of English writers, his Splendid prose going smoothly and readily into the language. The plan of study the Editor would recommend is this. After, say, every ten pages have been thoroughly mastered by means of the notes, they should be made the subject of a revision lesson - the pupils being asked to translate them we vote into French from another book containing the ordinary English text only. It is impossible to overestimate the value of vied-vote French composition as a means of affording learners that facility for dealing readily with a French turn of phrase, without which all composition must remain laboured and strained, with none of the French 'ring' about it. The Editor attributes the great success of numbers of his pupils to a vigorous course of vied-vote composition - much of Macaulay, Dickens, Thackeray, &c., having been used by him in this way.
