THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
" The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, considering
them acknowledged facts, or uldisputed truisms, do not deem them
worthy cf notice. Thus has been rejected the fundamental law,
that the ear alone causes that engue to move; for, had this been
duly reflected upon, it mus' , at ose period or another, have led
to the discovery of the true method of teaching languages,"—
Dufief.
VIONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the
"Symbolic Anglo-French Vocabulary ;" and of the
Easiest and Shortest Method of Learning French." The 1:11131.1CCOS8-
fulness of the prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is pro.
verbill ; and what other results can b looked for, when the teacher
in general considers himself justified 'in disregarding the laws of
nature so far as to endeavour to i:npart sounds by the medium of the
eyes, and teach the .science of a language before the pupil can lisp its
stmple>t accents? With such a theory ail human devices must neces-
sarily fail ; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
ineffectual endeavours, from those who have I.bourod
the general notion that a language can be acquired only fin the coun-
try where it is spoken; hence the despair of many students of the
French language of even understand.ng 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 member: of a family should take lessons together, much
advantage being derived from numbers
