So many authors of works of this type regard this phonetic system as far too scientific and technical for the average reader, and proceed to use a system of "imitated pronunciation" which is not only grotesque and contains all the idiosyncrasies of English spelling, but also fails to remind the reader that it is only approximate at the best. The book starts with an excellent skeleton outline of French, which should prove very useful to the person who wishes to exhume the knowledge he buried at school. Defects? Very few and of little importance. I congratulate the English Universities Press on an excellent volume."
