TO THE EDITOR PRRSS.

--waetw—
Sia—A greater number of works to facilitate the learning of the
French listigua.o.e have been published, within the last few years,
than ever was known before. But, certainly, of All the ingenious
works that have appeared on this subject, none have higher claims
to public notice than Mr. Dear:lks French Grammar. The
author has distinguished himself by a superior choice of exaniples,
both in prose and verse ; and his new plan for promoting facility
in spcaktntr. French, is so admirably calculated to impart a !speedy
and perfect knowledge of the language, that it cannot fait to prove
eminently serviceable. The following lines of French l'oetry,
which he has quoted in exemplification of the quoiathhi, are quite
4propos. If you think they will amuse your readas, you will
much oblige your correspondent ty inserting them :
" Je Songeaie cctte nuit quc, dental consume,
