THE INTERROGATIVE OA INTELLECTUAL SYSTEM
OF EDUCATIONi
By Questions and Exercises without Answers.
"T is now above Twenty Yeats !li•ice the Pro-
prietor of the under•mentioned Works %ablated to
Conductors of Schools the first sio•ciweas of that series of im-
proved Elementary Boolcp which he had planto:n for the 'pur
pose of facilitating the Instruction Youth, :ion rendering
the acquirement of Kappwledge at' once pleasant, rapid, anti
certain..

This System has since heen kilown to the Woe id under the
denonihrition of the 1m errogaiirc System ; and, as opposed to
some popular atech•,nical Sy,teins, its Inventor has also de-
6ned it, by way of eiiiinence, the Thinking or Intellectual
Systeni.—frion the obligation to Think, or menially work-oti
the subject of study, which it imposes on the pupil; and from
the ceiietal improvement of•-the Intellectu-il Faculties, of
which habitual mental exercise is a necessary consequence.

Thi's System', in tfte popular works. puhliShed -ruler the
names of Goldsmith,. Blair, Uarrow, Adair, &c: has been in-
treiduCeir into ',early. every School of character-in the. British
Empire, and has met' With a degree of approbation far ex-.
ceeding the original ex cc atious of its author. The princi-
ple of teaohing by Questions without Answers, which re-
rires that the pupil should furnish answers to questions,
often c-ouiplicated, from the scattered, data of his nook, de-
Madded various preparations on the part of the tutor; hut
the puhfieitnia of the Throes Key, containing- answers to
ewe six thousand questions, has removed every difficulty in
practice.
Aiming the competitors of the Interrogative System, the
respected name of Pestatozzi has appeared ; but it ought to
be ktietstri that hi's System IS•prechely that to which the public
tittentiotr is now invited, but which was taught in 'England
Many years before the name of Pestalozzi in any man.ter
traispired. Others have. annexed questions to their h.oulis,
and claimed kindred merit; butt, by au unhappy misconcep-
tion of the priheiple, their questions accord in arrangement\
exactly with the older of the data to which they refer, and
tlibiefbre exerelSe to • the intellectual faculties.
Others, again, have so far mistaken the term " Interrogative
SySieth," its to obtrude on the public, under its sanction, a
aeries of hoiks on the obsolete plan of question and answer.
While others haVe basely imitated both the' inventor's plan
/ad hit books, and have produced various superficial, vulgar,
And inadequate compilations, whose only recommendations,
havi been their cinSe
.imitation of his Title-pages, Types,
Ornaments, and Bindings.
As a meani of protecting the Public against all such arti-
fices,, -and of supportiog the reputation of his series of Books,
he has therefore judged it expedient to subjoin a Complete
List of thole (}riginal Warks

.. . .
We have taken the fed owing article from The
British Monitor of yeeterday, as we 'conceive that
the Editor of that Paper is better acquainted with
, .
the Heroes of the French RevolutiOn, end the
'MYrmidons of II'UONAPARTS, than most people.---
Our Readers will, therefore, see what sort of per-
sons the pitiable lenity of the, French King has
.
suffered to remain in France, and permitted to ree
turn to it. SuCh conduct strikingly demonstrates
the weakness of the present French Miiiisti y, or the
overpowering infittence of a Party, who will never
be satisfied- tilt theY have raise& themselves upon
the ruins of all legitimate authority :
. "The FrenclePapers,which were received yetis
terday afternoon, to Thursday laq, announce the
arrival at Paris of General Lemarque, M. Defer--
moat, Counsellor of State, and Director-General
of Liquidations under Buonaperte, and M. Cour-
tin, who was Prefect of Police at Paris, for a,
few weeks, after BoOnaperte's second abdication.:
These Gentlemen were exiled after the King's
second restoration, and have now been permitted
to return. The only one of the three with whom
I am acquainted, is M. Defertnont ; be was one
of those who, whenever Beonaparte was inclined
to be just towards, persons who had pecuniary.
claims upon his Government (which, God knows,
was seldom enough), prevented, even then, his
being so. All claims were referred to him, and
he disposed of them generally in a way so of to
ruin the parties. All -this, however, was only
out of zeal for his master ; for I verily believe.
the Liquidator had clean hands. I never heard
any thing injurious alleged against him on the
score of bribery. Whet these men have done to
occas,or. the Royal clemency I know not ; per-
haps they may have friends among the Ministers ;
that may be all very well—it is to be hoped that
Ministers have affections, and are as sensible and
as alive to moral duties as other men ; I shall
therefore not quarrel with them for what they
havellbna with regard to the three Gentlemen in
qnestlim, but when it is stated,- that the notorious
and execrable Cambeceres has also received the
King's pardon, and permission to return, I begin
to he startled—indeed I am so astonished that I
can scarcely believe it. This man, is a sniper in
public and private life. A city that will hatbour
such a noxious animal as Cantbaceres, deserves
the fate of Sodom—l need not he more explicit.
All France knows this wretch, nay, the very boys
in the eireet pointed at him whenever he was
seen out. Some important politiral considera-
tions must have urged the French King to re-
call this creature from exile. Private affections
of some of the Ministers, as pirobably was the
case with the other three exiles, could not have
been the motive here ; for no ratan, of even com-
mon feelings, could call Cambaceres his friend
As to his public conduct, he shewed himself ran-
corous to Louis XVI. After sentence was pio-
noonced, the utifortunate Monarch appealed to
the people, anti a Commission was appo;toed by
the Convention, consisting of its own Mem`iers„
to examine the question, whether the demand
could be complied with I Cambeceres was the
President of the Commission, and he, on that oc-
casion, sheaved himself more averse to the King's
reqeest than any other Member. —1 olid not re-
ceive this information from newspapers, or from
pamphlets, but 1 was told of it by 'faille!), Bar-
rere, end Carnot, with whom I wag very well ac-
quaieted during the nine years that I was resident
at Paris. Ii is well known that the King's re-
quest was rejected, and the unhappy ..klonerels
perished. During the whole of the Revolution,
Cembaceres proved himself its warmest defender ;
nay, even doting litionaparte's residence ie Elba,
he was 'Plotting, his retire. This man is very
1 rich ; end, ehould he be allowed to return, it is
to be hoped that his conduct will he strictly
watched, for these linonapartists have lost none
of their impudence; to be convinced of this, we
have only to look over the pages of the Minerva,
where we find every thing its France abused by a
man who defended all Boonaparte's crimes, name-
ly, M. Etienne. The pacadillos of a republican,
or the crime of a regicide, may be overlooked,
or pardoned ; foreign Governments, of course,
canuot punish them ; but a delendel-, or admirer
of Bitonaparte, ought to be considered as a traitor
against civilized society ; and no Government
should protect these scoundrels. They have flo
political opinions. All they want is plunder and
murder.

" Amongst those exiled, is a man whom I have
knots 0 many years, and that too most intimately
—1 allude to the poet Arnattlt.--is this atniabre
man to remain in exile whilst/Catnbaceres is al-

'lowed to return ? If Arnault hail been an enthu-
siast for Napoleon, 1 %you'd not have written a
word'iu ills favour ; but during our intimacy of

. . _
nine yeillg, I never knew him to be such. In-
deed, at that time, Arminit never meddled in po-
litics ; itt fact, it was a subject we very seldom'

. _
conversed upon ; what his conduct has been since
1 lett ..France 'l, cannot pretend to say, but at all
events, when such a•man as Cambaceres is allow-
ed to return (which I hope is nor true), and a
• man I;ice Talleyraud employed about Ole pursotx
of the .King, surely, a person so inoffensive as
Arnstult might he allowed to return to his cotta-
try. Jus• ice I. jus-tee ! when shall we see thee
impattiaill administered ?"

Lord ELLF.NBORoUGH, we are grieved to spy,
continues in such a stAte as to afford grounds of
the rno“ serioust alarm to b:s numerous friends
e!:J mimicers.
