En dehors dv Eoyaume-Uni, l'empire britannique est le plus etendu et peut-etre le plus peuple dv monde. - ,'•_._ Son etendue depasse deux fois la superficie de l'Europe ; sa population est a peu pres egale a celle dv continent europeen. Quant a sa richesse, elle depasse celle de I'Allemagne, a n'enjuger que par la somme dcs importations. La plupart dcs vastes territoires de ces empires futurs sont merveilleusement dotes par la nature.

Give the mood and tense of all the verbs in italics. 3. Translate into French— ,-,_..-_. ■ v- i. The Avare may be called a classical play. The classical style, m the sense in which the word is used here, neglects everything special or realistic in order to dwell on what is general and typical. A character becomes a representative of a class, a mouthpiece to utter sentiments, an abstraction moving in a conventional world. Naturally the drawbacks (dSsavantages) of the classical spirit are less felt in a comedy, which, after all, must aim at reproducing contemporary society. But what is Harpagon ? To what class of society does he belong ? Where does he live ? To some extent he is intended to be a representative of the old-fashioned, money-making bourgeoisie of Paris, a conservative in dress and manners. Still there is something unreal and conventional about him. . . . The " denouement" of the Avare in its conventional improbability verges upon the ridiculous. The humour and comic interest of the play are to be found in the incidents which draw out the central character. 4. Translate also — Where did you go to-day ? I went to see the Exhibition.
