• THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
" The Principles of nature appear so simple, that many, consider-
. mg 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.
fIvIONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the " Sym-
bolic Anglo-French Vocabularv," and of the " Easiest and
_ ortest Method of Learning French.'' The unsuccessfulness of the
Prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is proverbial ; and
wnat other 'results can be looked for, when the teacher in general
considers himself justified in disregarding the laws of nature so far
endeavour to impart sounds by the medium of the eyes, and
Leach the science of a language before the pupiL can lisp its simplest
raccents 2 With such a theory all human devices must necessarily
44i1; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
tneffectual 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
system of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Ragonot.
To carry .out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
!!‘'eral members of a family should take lessons together, much
''vantage being derived from numbers.
