THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
"The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, considering
them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do not deem them
worthy of 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 must, 4t one period or another, have lel
to the discovery of the true method of teaching languages."—
Dtcfief.
ONS. RAGONOT (of Paris), Author of the
"Symbolic Anglo-French Vocabulary;" and of the
" Easiest and Shortest Method of Learning French." The unsuccess-
fulness of the prevaifing mode of teaching foreign languages is pro.
verbitl ; and what other results can b-, looked for, when the teacher
in general considers himself justified. in disregarding the laws of
nature s 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 neces-
sarily 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 in the coun-
try 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 conseque, ces may be obviated by the natural
system of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Itagonot.

To carry oat the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
several members of .a family should take lessons together, mach
advantage being derived from numbers.
