From Preface: "The authors believe Oncle Henri... should prove a useful text for rapid reading at almost any point in the intermediate or advanced French course... It is the authors' hope that the subject matter of this book, presented in a style which is not too difficult, may interest young students of French. They hope too that this book will give its readers some pleasant glimpses which will lead to a wholesome desire for further acquaintance... For the convenience of teachers who are too busy to prepare their own grammatical and conversational drills a series of easy exercises has been added. The book contains also all necessary notes and a full vocabulary... Ex-school library with typical treatments. The deaccessioner has made liberal use of the discard stamp.
