WHENEVER Dick fell into any
misery, he usually called it feeing life.
If his head was broken io a quarrel,l
or hit pockets picked by a (harper,
he comforted himfelf by laughing at
his misfortune, or intimating the dia

money matters had jncen fed his father
to such a degree, that all the intereff

Dick among the reft t gathered round

PROPOSALS,
FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
THE FRENCH
Grammatical Companion;J
oa, A CONCISE AND EASY
Practical Grammar of the French 1
Tongue.
„by G O/U I N IDUFIE F,
Teacher of the French and Snglijb Languages in
Philadelphia; 4
ADD~R~ES S. A
In carting a fuperficial glance over the veryy
many Grammars with which the English prefs'
teems, one might be inclined to suppose, that■
an attempt to introduce a more improved ©
System, would not only be unnecessary, but ■
even presumptuous. The generality of the
Teachers of the French Language, seem to ■
acquiefee in this opinion, by their too partial ■
adoption of the Grammatical Forms now in U
use. # % -
The Author, however, relying with con- j
fidence on a generous and enlightened Pub-j
lie, whose penetration and judgment will ea-1
fily admit the possibility of further refine
ment in the French language, has cheerfully
undertaken the present talk, the main object ffl
of Which, is to render the proprefs of theaf- 5
fiduous Scholar at the fame time more rapid n
and fuccefttul. / 1
From mature refleaion on the conftruc-|
tion of the best French Grammars already
published, he has been enabled to form his
System on the most approved Methods pur-|
sued by their refpedive Authors, so as to a
nite in his Production, Conciseness and Pek?|i
fpicuity with Inftroaion. The rnoftcertain J
and judiciously digested Rules for acquiring■
the best Pronunciation, and the new Coliec-w
tion of Efterciles pertinently adapted to each
demonftratiqn, together with a short but es-1
fential Vocabulary annexed to the Work,
will, it is expected, be considered an improve-J
ment in the art of teaching the French, byg
which the Learner may, without the usual
embarrassments, be at once initiated into the]
principles of that polite, and almost univer-;
Gil language, and soon enabled to speak it
with case and propriety.l
He hopes that this proof of his zeal for thel
public utility, in his prQfeffional capacity,J
will be a fufficient recommendation to the ,
public notice, and excite, at least, a portion|
of that liberal encouragement, which, he|
trusts, it may merit.
CONDITIONS. j
I. IT will contain 200 Pages, or therea- ■
bouts, in a handsome Octavo Volume, ■
neatly bound, and printed on fine paper.
11. Subfeription, one Dollar per Vol. to be
paid on delivery.,
[II. When there are a fufficient number of
copies fubferibed, to defray the expence#^
of printing, it will be instantly put to ~,
prefs.;<
IV. Subferibers names will be prefixed
thereto as Patrons of the Work.
V. For every fix copies fubferibed for, one
will be given grato.

Robert Baiter, Matbro Care,, Martan de fr.
