THE FRENCH LANGUAGE
TAUGHT by M. DIJFIEF, on hie System, in
the London Mechanics' Institution.--Arrangements having
been made between the Committee and Mr. Dttfief to
TEACH the FRENCH CLASS in that Institution, he
begs to inform the public, that his mode of teaching the
French Language is now in full operation in a class of
about 150. The numbers who may be simultaneously
taught by this method are only limited by the compass of
the teacher's voice, which may be made effectual with
thousands at one time. One of the peculiarities of this
system is, that new pupils may join the class at any period
of its progress. Those who are disposed to acquire the
above useful language on Mr. Dttfief's system have now
that opportunity by becoming members of the London Me-
chanics' Institution.

Application to be made to Mr. Robert Christie, Secre-
tary, at the Institution, QB, Southampton-buildings,
Chancery-lane.
