THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

" The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, considering
them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do not deers them
-syortby of notice. Thus has been rejected the fundamental law,
that th! ear alone causes the t engue to move; for, bad this been
duly reflected upon, it mnsl ,at one period cr another, have led
to the discovery of the true method of teaching languages."—
Defief.
ONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the
Lvi " Symbolic Anglo-French Vocabulary ;" and of the
" Easiest and Shortest Method of Learning French." The unsoceess-
fz lness of the prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is pro-
; and what other results can bs looked for, when the teacher
in general considers himself justified in disregarding the laws of
nature so far as to endeavour to impart sounds by the medium of the
eyes, and teach the science of a language before the pupil can lisp its
simplest accents? With such a theory ;01 human devices muet neces-
sarily fail ; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
ineffectual endeavours, from those who have laboared in ; 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 even understanding the rapid conversation of
natives of France.
All these deplorable consoquenees may be obviated by the natural
system of teaching languages adopted by Mons. liagonot.

To carry out the system in its perfection, It is desirable that
several member; of a family should take lessons together, much
advantage being derived from numbers.
