ANTI-INCOME TAX ASSOCIATION

COMMITTEE.

Mr. JOHN MACKENZIE, Vice-chairman.
Messrs. M. C. JONES and PATERSON, Solicitors.

This Association has been formed for the purpose of obtaining
by every legitimate means the repeal of the present unequal, and
therefore unjust, Property and Income Tax, which has been inflicted
specially on parties with fixed incomes since its re-imposition in
1842, whilst the mercantile and trading community have equally
felt its annoyance in cansequence of the system of leaving the
assessment of their profits to parties whose every interest, by the
pernicious mode of poundage, has been hitherto identified with
the oppressive system of surcharge.

Subscriptions will be received by the treasurer, Mr. R. Lathbury,
40, Castle-street, and all other members of committee. A subscrip-
tion of Is a-year constitutes membership, and entitles the member
to legal and other assistance in resisting surcharges, and bringing
before the public and the government all cases of oppression, in-
• ustioe' or insolence that may come under their notice.

THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

The. principles of nature appear so simple, that many, consider-
ing them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do not
deem them worthy of notice. Thus has been rejected the fun-
damental law, that the 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."—Dufief.
MortONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the " Sym-
bolic Anglo-French Vocabulary," and of the " Easiest and
Shortest Method of Learning French." The unsuccessfulness of the
prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is proverbial; .and
what other results can be 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 all human, devices must necessarily
'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
country 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 consequences may be obviated by the natural
vstem of teaching languages adopted by ➢lons. Ragonot.
