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 car 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.

"EasiestB and-
SVortest Method of Learning French." The =successfulness of the
prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is proverbial; and
what other results can be looked for, when the teacher in general
„Fonsideis 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 hi 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
system of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Ragonot.
To carry out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
several members of a family should take lessons together, much
advantage being derived from numbers.
