in boards, the Fourth Edition, much enlarged and im-
proved, of
NTURE DISPLAYED IN HER MODE OF
TEACHING LANGUAGE to MAN: being a new
and infallible method of acquiring languages with unparalleled
rapidity, deduced from the analysis of the Human mind, and
consequently suited to every capacity. Adapted to the French.
To which is prefixed, a Developement of the Plan of Tuition ;
differing entirely from every other, so. powerful in its opera-
tion, and so very economical, that a liberal education can be
procured even by the poorest of mankind ; thus furnishing the
great desideratum of enabling nations to arrive at the highest
degree of mental perfection.

By N. G. DUFIEF,
Author of the " Philosophy of Language," and of the " New
Universal Pronouncing Dictionary of the French and Eng-
lish Languages," ate.
Eatract from the Report of the Committee of the Calcutta
School-book Society; read at the First Annual General Meet-
ing of the Subscribers, held at the Town Hall of that City :
" Your Committee has, in conclusion, to advert to a very re-
markable Work, which has strongly attracted their attention,
endtled " Nature Displayed,", &c. by Mr. N. G. Dufief. The
truths of most importance to mankind commonly lie long dor-
mant, acknowledged indeed, but not duly prized ; till some one,
gifted with common sense and sagacity surpassing those of his
cotemporaries, points out to the world their momentous practi-
cal uses and corollaries.
" Mr. Dufief has himself observed, what is indeed sulfi-
ciently obvious, that his manner of teaching a language is not
suited to the case of the French only. It is for this Institution
steadily to keep the principle in view, and seize opportunities,
as they occur, of applying it to all the languages within its sphere
of operation and usefulness. •
" Your Committee, adverting to the uncommon merit of the
work, and considering its dissemination as calculated to produce
just ideas on the subject of school-boc.ks, and as furnishing an
admirable model for the preparation of many, have encouraged
a proposed re-publication in Calcutta, by subscribing for seventy
copies, &c."
