French rudiments : consisting of a grammar of the language, every-way better than any and more comprehensive than all, a vocabulary of the most usual words, a sententiae of the most familiar phrases, a dictionary of the most beautiful idioms, and a florilege of the most celebrated pieces, from the best writers, both ancient and modern : to which are added tables of corresponding terminations, and words of similar sound, in English, French, Latin, Greek, &c. by way of key to etymology; a list of words, the same (or nearly so) in sound, but different in sense, and spelling, cast into short sentences, for the ease of the memory; an explanation of idioms, with divers other curious and useful particulars : the whole dispos'd in the most easy and instructive method, and printed in the most commodious manner, as well to strike the eye and imagination, by a proper distinction of letter and situation, as for the readier turning to, or learning of any particular : and so, fitted for the use of ladies as well as gentlemen (whether French or English) and even brought-down to the capacities of little children / by Solomon Lowe.
