At the Anatomical Museum in ridel's Alley, in
Second street, Philadelphia,
Doctor c h ov et intends
some time in November, to begin a Course
of Lectures upon the visceral anatomy and vital
ceconomy of the Human Body, founded on the vi
able and most intimate Structure of the parts, in
which will be shown all the blood vessels, together
with the lymphatics, glands, &c. alio the course
of the nerves, as they arise from the brain and
spinal marrow even to their refpe&ive terminations ;
but particularly those belonging to the five fintes:
So that as these lectures will be delivered on his
elegant Anatomical Wax-work Figures, and real
preparations of the parts beautifully embalmed and
prepared, the curious as well as the Students in
phyfick, may obtain a compl@at knowledge of their
own ftru&ure, towards laying a foundation for a
rational practice of phyfick ; as this course of lec
tures will include a compleat graphycal and natural
history of the Animal ceconomy, without even the
afped of a recent dead body, which often difgmfts
those, who otherwise would have both curiosity and
inclination to attend that ufeful study; 'tis presumed
this method of introducing Anatomy will prove
agreeable and fatisfa&ory.
The French Language by its beauty and facility
to learn has become universal in all Europe, and
is now so prevalent in England that it is look
ed on asa very eflential and necessary piece of edu
cation ; besides, it is so much in vogue among the
modern writers, that it is impoflible to read a News-
Paper, Magazine, or even a Novel with pleafare and
profit, without a proper knowledge of it. The Ame
rican Youths have long thought the study of it diffi
cult, and not to be attained without an Hercu
lean labour, great fatigue, and immense expence §
but this ill grounded notion seems to have proceed
ed from the uncouth and disadvantageous manner
in which # some ignorant and unikilful matters have
communicated their inftru&ions, and for want of
having things cleared up to them as they went along.
Every one is sensible, that to obtain a perfect know
ledgein any Art or Science, we must have things
unknown taught us by things which are known ;
this cannot be expected from a French Teacher un-
Icfs he has been bred and educated iffa French
Academy.—As for the pronunciation in particular,
to teach it by grammatical rules is a practice alto
gether absurd and ridiculous; besides, all the gram
mers are defective in this article ; and to support
my opinion, I shall only fay,
