LITERATURE.

THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR,

Forming a COLLECTION OF COLLOQUIAL .C.SSATS particularly
adapted to render the Smilax° or FRENCH 'Easy to English
Persous : In Sixty Lessons. • By J. V. DOUVILLE, Profes-

•
sor of the French Language. Loudon, 1827.
We would not be understood to undervalue the labours
of those who have devoted their attention' to render the
acquisition of the French Language easy to our 'country-
men, by saying that the Grammar of M. Douville is
incomparably the best. The public are perfectly -aware
that he has lately published a • large Grammar, in two
volumes, which obtained that ready sale whiCh its merits
deserved; and he has recently improved upon that work by
condensing its rules, and otherwise rendering his experience
of. the English language more conducive to the illustration
of his own, by producing a work, entitled " The Speaking
French Grammar." This title is not more felicitously
chosen than if an author had invented a system of steno-
graphy peculiarly entitled to the .detfignation of Readable
Short Hand ; for writing and readirig Short Hand are not
more different than translating end speaking French, a dif-
ficulty which the unwearied assiduity of this ingenious
author has surmounted in a very masterly manner. In ap-
preciating thus highly, M. Douville's' talents, we only per-
form tat act of justice to himself, while we do some service
to the public, particularly that portion Of it desirous
to know a ready method of speaking the French language,
by recommending a work peculiarly adapted for facilitating
that great desideratum. Indeed, so convinced are we of
the excellence of the Speaking French Grammar in this
respect, that if any Lady or Gentleman totally ignorant
of the French language, but wishing to visit France,
will etudy, this Grammar for a week, we cart assure
them, that they may be able by the assistance of the fa-
miliar dialogues introduced at the end of the volume, to
speak their way to Paris, and even through France, with
little difficulty. The following is M. Douville's intro-
duction to his valuable labours, which, as it gives a good
idea of his Grammar, we readily publish, being fully satis-
fied that those who peruse the work, will feel pleasure in
recommending:it to others, desirous of a masterly guide for
rendering the speaking of the French Language as easily
acquired as their mother tongue.

The very flattering recepticniwhich the first edition of my
French Grammar has met with (a large impression having been
sold in a short space of time), and the increasing patronage by
which the work is daily distinguished, have induced me to revise
it with care and attention, and publish it in one volume, under the
title of The Speaking French Grammar.
As French is generally learnt with a view to conversation, my
efforts have chiefly aimed at rendering the speaking of this ,fasei-
nating language easy to English persons. To accomplish this great
desideratum, I have composed the essays of sentences most used in
familiar discourse, which, uniting the greatest perspicuity in their
adaptation to the several rules, will afford the student, from his
first introduction to the language, an opportunity of acquiring .a
useful collection of phrases necessary for conversation ; while he
gradually attains a thorough knowledge of the elementary princi-
ples and rules of grammar, without trouble or learning by heart.
The difference between studying French as a language of polite
literature, and as one for the purposes of conversation and main.
taining a correspondence with French persons, is obviously so great,
that unless the pupil is properly trained in the practical part, be
will never be able to hold the least discourse with a native of
France, although he may be a proficient in the theory of the lan-
guage. This work has, therefore, the speaking of French for ig
immediate object; and it will be found peculiarly adapted to the
capacity of the generality of learners, being divided into eixty easy
lessons and essays, which will prove no less instructive than
agreeable.

In conformity with this plash the first part of, the work is appro-
priated to the orthography of the language, which is'in atria ac-
cordance with the decisions of the French 'AcademY, and the opi-
nions of the most eminent modern French gramminians ; while
the remarks on pronunciation are collected from the present prac-
tice of the fashionable circles in Paris.

Etymology being necessarily the foundation of that perfect ac-
quaintance with the language, which every well-educated person
ought to possess, the learner's attention is directed to. the acquiii-
tion of this department in all its branches. The path to this dif,
ficult but desirable object ham been strewed with flowers ; and th►e
various modifications of each class of words are displayed in sitrqile
sentences, calculated to impress them firmly on the student's me-
mory. The nature of the French verbs is also exhibited in qu4e
a new and perspicuous manner; but much must be left to the good
sense of the pupil, guided by the skill of his master, to form such
combinations as are in consonance with his own ideas for the ex-
pression of his wants,' emotions, or passions. In doing this, -his
progress will be greatly facilitated, if the teacher questions him,
after the following manner% on sentences of familiar discourse :
suck sentences being partly formed by introducing any one of the
pronouns in conjunction with a verb, which the pupil is to trans-
late into French. . Supposing, fur instance, the verb tinder consi-
deration he Parler, the sentences may be—l have had the pleasure
to speak to your sister, j'ai eu le plaisir de parlor a votre mar.
Have you spoken to her ? lui avez-voua pule? Has not Mr.
Do* spoken to her ? M. Ds° tie lui a-t-il point pule Y No, he
has not spoken to her, non it ne lid a pas park{; and so On
through all the simple and compound tenses, taking care to intro-
duce by degrees the use of the subjunctive mood, and varying the
sentences from the affirmative to the negative and interrogative
forms of the verb. Without this practice the utmost proficiesey
in conjugating the verbs will scarcely be of any avail for speaking
French; but by adopting it, and a similar drilling on the other
parts of speech, due attention being paid by the teacher to a correct
pronunciation, a pupil may acquire the language with as much
facility, purity, and elegance of expression, as if lie studied it
even in Paris. It may be further observed on this subject, that
the verbs being gradually introduced into the essays, and being of
the utmost importance for speaking French, the pupil must begin
to learn them from the first lesson.

It way also be noticed, as peculiar to this work, that, in the ar-
rangement of the materials, every thing belonging to the same
head has been classed under one article, by, which plan ,the usual
trouble of referring to several places is obviated. The essays of;
the whole Grammar may be considered as an index to cOnversa-
tion•;- and it is presumed they will be found sufficiently elucida-
tive of all the French idioms, and replete with those variations
and delicacies of expression which so frequently occur in the polite
circles in the capital of France, thereby enabling the pupil not only
to bear his part in the conversation of persons of intelligence and
fashion, but to have a full relish for the beauties of French au-
thors, and a just conception of the merit of their compositions.
A treatise ou French Prosody and Versification is introduced
towards the end of the work. This is. followed by some essays
(in French) of grammatical analysis, and a classified vocabulary—
besides a compendium of sentences chiefly used in familiar dis-
course—nunterous models of notes, letters of compliment and busi-
ness, with the forms of documents most usually required in affairs
of commerce ; and, for the particular use of such English persons
as are, generally speaking, unacquainted with French, but who,
on their visit t 9, the French metropolis, may be desirous to,make
themselves understood, a collection has been made, in the form of
dialogue, of all the phrases, directions, observations, &c. that com-
monly occur in a from Calais to Paris, and on thereturn.
journey
The 'under,, orthography is adopted throughout.
Such is au outline of the Grammar by which I propose to faci-
It4te
the
sPeakin of French to English :persons; and confidently
trusting thatp g
h I have employed for. the purpose
`will he found to .means 'wino
justly my pretensions, I respectfully submit it to
the public.
