THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR,

By J. V. DOUVILLE,
PROFESSOR OF TILE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

No. 1, Soho-square ; and 2, Lawrence-lane, Cheapsidc, Lon.
don. 1828. The Third Edition.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stir,—ln preparing this edition of the SPEAKING
FRENCH GRAMMAR for the Press, I have spared no
pains in my endeavours to give the work the greatest possible
degree of perfection. Every part of it has undergone a com-
plete revision ; many of the rules and observations have
been simplified and condensed, so as to render them more dis-
tinct and easy of recollection ; while much additional and
useful matter has been introduced. Extensive experience
having confirmed me in the conviction that, unless a
learner is early habituated to conversation, he will never be
able to converse with a native of France, I have princi-
pally applied myself to facilitate the speaking of French
to English persons. Ilow far I have succeeded in this
great desideratum will be for the Public to decide ; and I
indulge a hope that individuals will read and judge for
themselves, rather than be influenced by any professions
of mine. The work is concluded by a Grammatical Ana-
lysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Versifica-
tion ; besides a classified vocabulary : a Collection of Fa-
miliar Phrases, arranged under distinct Beads; and nume-
rous Models of Notes and Letters, with some forms of Bills
of Exchange, Promissory Notes, and Receipts. In the exe-
cution of the whole, in short, the speaking of the language
has been the main object; and I flatter myself the present
edition will be found much improved, and still more worthy
of the liberal patronage by which the work has been dis-
tinguished.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
London, Oct. 2, 1828. J. V. DOUVILLE. .
