THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

"The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, considering
them acknowledged facts, or uodisputed truisms, do not deem them
worthy r f notice. Thus has been rejected the fundamental law,
that th-• ear alone causes the tongue to move; for, had this been
duly reflected upon, it must, at one period or another. have led
to the discovery of the true method of teaching languages."—

Easiest and Snortest Method of Learning French.' The unsuccess-
fulness of the prevai ing mode of teaching foreign languages is pro-
verbi ti ; and what other results can b • looked for, when the teacher
in general considers himself justiiled in disregarding the laws of
nature s > far ES to endeavour to impart sounds by the medium of the
oyes, and teach the science of a language before the pupil can lisp its
simplest accents? With such a theory all human devices must neces-
sarily fail ; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
ineffectual endeavours, from those who have laboured in vain; and
the general notion that a language can be acquired only in the coun-
try where it is spoken; hence the despair of many students of the
French language of oven understaod:ng the rapid conversation of
natives of France.

All these deplorable conseque-ees may be obviated by the natural
t*stem of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Itagonot.

To carry out the system in its perfect'on, it is desirable that
several members of a. family should take lassons togetha, much
advantage being derived from numbers.
