THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, consideoir

deem them worthy of notice. Thas has‘becn rejectedthe fs,u`i;
lamental law, that the car alone causes the tongue to nWriod

ONS RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the e`%,(l
bolic Anglo-French 'Vocabulary," and of the " Easiest ,De
Shortest Method oflearning French." The unsuccessfulness of
.d
prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is proverbial; ;4;
what other results - can be looked for, when the teacher in gefl Of
considers himself justified in disregarding the laws of nature Eeiod
as to endeavour to impart sounds by the medium of the eyes, yet
teach the science of a language before the pupil can lisp its sinll?,of
accents? With such, a theory all human devices must necess':d
fail; and hence the: numerous complaints of wasted time I",,ti
ineffectual endeavours, from those who have laboured in vain ; ''"or
the general notion that a language can be acquired only tn„
country where it is spoken ; hence the despair of many studenoll
the French language of even understanding the rapid converss' ,
of natives of France.
All these deplorable consequences may be obviated by the 110Of*
system of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Itartonot

To carry out the s}:-Stein in its perfection, it
several members of a family should take lesson
