THE FRENCH LANGUAGE IN FORTY-EIGHT
LESSONS.
MR. HAMILTON, the Atithor of the Bys-
tem of Teaching the Languages which bears his
name; and which has excited so lively an interest in the United
States and Canada, where he has taught during the list Eight
Years with unexampled success, offers his services to the polite
Inhabitants of this Metropolis, in the acquisition of the French
Language.
Mr. Hamilton's System essentially differs from every oilier
which has preceded it. The burthen is almost entirely thrown
tin the Teacher, with regard to grown persons, and altogether
with regard to children. One hundred, or one thousand per.
ions, learn at the same moment, with as great, or even greater,
Facility than a Class of three or four persons ; every member
of a Class, however numerous, pronounces at the First Lesson
with the propriety of a native of France. The knowledge of'
10,000 different words in the French Languages' is guaranteed
to the Pupil in Ten Lessons of one hour each, given three
times a-week. In the Course of Forty-eitt Lessons, the at-
tentive and studious learn to write and speak with grammatical
correctness, and, in half that number, to read with pleasure a
French Author.
Mr. Hamilton is preparing to offer to the Public a Courie
Lectures on the French Language, of which notice will be given
Sn a few days; mean time he will receive, ut his Apartments,
No. 8, WOODSTOCIa a
TREET, OXFORD-STREET,
Private Class of Eight or Ten Persons, or he would meet a
like Class in any part of the Town. •
The whole Course, of 48 Lessons, is divided into Five Sec-
iona, the first Four of Ten Lessons each ; each Section. is
Payable in advance, .£2 10s.
The First Private Class will meet, as above, on MON-
DAV, the Bth day of September next, at Eight o'clock in
the Evening, and will continue to meet at the same hour on
Mondays, 'Wednesdays, and Fridays, unless otherwise deter.
mined at the First Lesson of the Class.
Mr. Hamilton's documents, in proof of the extraordinary ef-
ficacy of his System, are infinitely too voluminous for inser-
tion ; be will be- happy to communicate them to any Geh-
denten of respectability. Meantime, he has handed to his
booksellers, Messrs. Booscy, in Broad-street, and Messrs. Co.
burn and Co., Bond-street, the names of thirty Noblemen and
Gentlemen to whom he had letters of introduction.
Mr. Hamilton is to be found at, home from Seven till Ten
each Morning, and after Two in the Evening.

NEW INSTITUTION.-ALBIOS.IIALL

On Wednesday a numerous and highly respect-
able Meeting was held in Albion Hall, near the Albion Chapel,
Moortields. The object of the Meeting was the establishment
of Lectures conducive alike to the important ends of useful
knowledge, of 'Christianity, and good morals.
It was the first time this hall was thrown open to the public.
Ail the arrangements, though not upon the largest scale, art
well adapted to the object for which it was erected.
The Rev. A. FLETCHER, A.hl. opened the proceedings by
an appropriate prayer, after which a p from llandella
Messiah was executed with considerableasZt by some vocal
and instrumental performers who attended upon the occasion.
The Rev. Cox then came forward to explain the pur-
poses for which the meeting had been called. As the hall, he
said,
was devoted to the purposes
of science and religion, he
haught it right to select, as the subject upon which lie should
address them, the connection that existed between both. There
Wire some who scented to think that religion and science could not
well exist together ; this was a great mistake. In principle, true
philosophy and religion were, and ought to be, united. The en-
tamement of true knowledge could have no other than.a moral
intinence : when a contrary edict followed, it should be attri-
buted, cat to science itself, but to the perversion of it. Its na-
tufal operation was to promote the exercise of the faculties, to
direct them to beneficial purposes, to excite industry, the uni-
Venal law of creation, and to beget humility rather than pride.
This was well understood by the great men who were most
deeply imbued with its spirit. They know that the effect of
great progress in the sciences was rather to shew their limita-
tion than their extent. It was only when men, after deep re- :tearch, began to suspect they knew nothing, that they began to
De 'really wise. It was in this conviction that genuine philosophy
had its commencement. Lord Bacon said that knowledge was.
power. Any thing tending. to
give this power a moral and
ght direction must be in the highest degree beneficial ; and
such was religion. This it was which imparted the finishing
Iptich of excellence to science,_ which made it the ornament of
Pte, the cement of society, the wealth of. nations, end the best
!iiheritance of yet unborn generations. It was thus religion" and
knowledge were found united in the greatest and best of men.
