THE FRENCH 'LANGUAGE.
-The principles:of-nature appear-msimple; that many, consider-
ing them' acknowledged . facts; or . undisputed truisms, do, not
deem them worthy of notice. "Thus has been rejected?the fan-
damental law, that the car along causes the tongue to mai('
fer, had this been duly reflected upon, it Must, at one period
or another, have led to the di3oovery of the true method of
teaching languages."—Ditfief.
2, TONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the " Syn.-
A. bolic Angle-French Vo-cabulary," and of the "Easiest and
Shortest Metlica. a-Learning Fren24.' The unsuccessfulness at the
'Prevailing mode of teaching foreiggn. louaguages.is proverbial; and
what other results can be looked for, *hen theleaeher ' in. general
considers-himself justified in diszegarding the laws of nature so far
as to endea.fo:itr to impart sounds by the medium of the eyes, and
teach the science of a language lielifire the pupil cap lisp its simplest
accents? With such a theory. all himan devices must necessarily
fail; and_ hence the_ numerous. complaints of wasted. time and
ineffectual endeavours,. from 'anise who have laboured in---Nain ; and
the general-notion that a 'language can be neqiiired oily in the
country where it is spoken,; hence the despair of many students of
the French language of evenunderstanding the rapid, Conversation
of natives of France.

All these deplorable consequences may benbviated by the natur►l
system of teaching langtages adopted by Mons. Ragonot. -
To carry out the system in its perfection., it is. desirable that
several 'members -of n-,family should -take lessons. together, much
advantage being derived from numbers.
