A French Gentleman, who has learned
both the English and his own language by prin
ciples, offers to teach the Gentlemen and Ladies, who
may be desirous to learn either of them. It does not
become him to vaunt his own abilities; but he flatters
himfelf, the progress cf his fcholsrs will convince them,
that he is not ill qualified for the undertaking. The
pleating profp^& of a long interccurfe of trade and
friendship between the Americans >nd his countrymen,
points out the ufe/ulnefe of these so falhionable, and so
vmiverfaHy admired languages, in too strong a manner
to render it necessary to expatiate in favour of the learn
ing of them.
The laid I Gentleman will iranflate any piece cf writ
