THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, consider-
ing them acknowledged fact; or undisputed truisms, do not
deeni•them worthy of notice. Thus has been rejected the fun-
damen4.l law, that the car .aene causes the tongue to move;
for, had4.his been duly reflected upon, it must, at one period
or another, have led to the discovery of the true method of

tea.chinglanguages."—Dufief.
MONS. itAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the " Sym-
bolic Atplo-French Vocabulary,. and of the "Easiest and
Wot-test Methoci of Learning French." The unsuccessfulness of the
prevailing mode of teaching' foreign' languages is proverbial; and
*chat other resuhs can be looked for when the teacher in general
considers himselfiustified in disregae4ing the laws of nutare 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 all human devices must necessarily
fail: and hence tlw numerous complaints of wasted time and
those who have laboured in vain.; and

inetibotual endeavours, fro:

the geberal notion that a lan _
country where it is spoken hence t
the Womb language of -even understanding the
of natives of France.
All these 'deplorable consequences may be obv

uired only in the

r)a?many stiidents4 of

,c 1 by the natur

Fystem of tesching languarei adopted by Mons. Itogonot.
To carry out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
several .membems of a family should take lessons together, much
advantage being derived from numbers.
