MONSIEUR VICTOR, M.A.
PROFESSOR OF LANGUAGES,

FROM THE ROYAL COLLEGE, PARIS,
BEGS respectfully to inform his Friends and the Public
that he will give TWO LECTURES on the FRENCH
LANGUAGE at the ROYAL ASSEMBLY ROOMS, Great
George-street, the first of which will take place on Tnuns-
DAY, 22d; the second, FRIDAY, 23d instant.
Mr. VICTOR will explain the method of judging whether a
Master or Governess be capable of teaching the French Lan •
gunge in giving the substantives, by Writing; and also show
the mode by which any one can learn French without the aid
of a Master.

Mr. VICTOR has been only five months in Liverpool, and
has instructed in the French Language numbers of persons
system, all of whom are able to speak French fluently.

Mr. VICTOR has had the honour of Teaching the French
Language to the members of several distinguished Families,
and ha permission to number amongst his Pupils the
Honourable Mr. Pakenham, and' Brother, Nephews to the
Duke of Wellington; Mr. Brownlow, Son of General
Brownlow ; Mr. Macadam, Messrs. Burdett, and Powell,
the Family of Col. Gregory.
In France, Mr. V. has had the honour of Teaching the
Family of Baron Grand, General Verdun, and Count De
Bagny, - &c. _

The 'facility with which the Pupils under Mr. Victor's care
are enabled in a short tune to converse in French gramati-
cally, will convince every one that the acquirement of the
Language is not so formidable an undertaking as it is generally
considered. By his mode of teaching the difficulty which
obattends the distinguishing of French genders is entirely
viated.
Mr. V. will give specimens from numerous French
authors,
Half the Receipts on these occasions will be paid to the
Institution of the Deaf and Dumb.
Admission ss. for the two Lectures.
Doors open at Seven o'clock. Lecture to commence at
Half-past.

Ticicets to be had at the Newspaper Offices, and at the

'4** The various Works have been assigned to nustees upon
Trust for the Subscribers.

THE BIBLE is that published by Macklin; the best
edition of the best ,•f hooks, expanded, with the Illus-
trative Engravings, into Forty-five large folio volumes, in
superb condition, and it contains nearly Seven Thousand
Drawings and Engravings, among which are all the most in-
teresting works that illustrate, pictorially, the sacred text.
The 'nines newspaper has described these illustrations
justly, as extending through productions of the moss perfect
art, at every period, from that of Michael Angelo to that of
Reynolds and West. The work also contains One Hundred
and Thirteen original Drawings and Vignette Embellish-
ments to the several Books of the Holy Scriptures, by P. J.
De Lootherbourg, R.A. ; and also manuscripts of the Dedi-
cations and various other appropriate and beautiful speci-
mens of penmanship. Engravings and Etchings after Raj'.
ladle, Marc Antonio, Albert Darer, (Mot, Rembrandt,
&c., constitute the mass of the illuminations, and they in-
clude every ocular fact, circumstance, and object to which
the holy writ alludes. 'Frees, Plants, Flowers, Quadrupeds,
Birds, Fishes, Insects,—Fossils in proof of the universal
Deluge, and the most complete and perfect Atlases, are
among the subjects of these splendid illustrations.
According to the peseta plan, there will he Three Hun-
dred and Fifty Subscribers at Ten Guineas each, to contest

for this gorgeous prize. The Proprietor intends not to re-
tain a single Ticket, and the decision will be wade after the
plan of the Art-Union, as to the modes of drawing for the

prizes at that Institution

The decision will take place at Airs. PAnxr.s's, No. 22,
Golden-square ; of which notice shall be sent at least ten days
previous to the day of drawing.
The Subscribers present will be competent to proceed to
the decision, and whoever proves the successful competitor,
to him or her will be assigned the Forty-five Volumes of
BOWYER'S UNIQUE BIBLE, with its gorgeous illus-
trations, to be removed at his or her expense.
The other prize will be drawn for at the same time. It is

an original picture by the late W. HILTON, R.A., one of the
best productions from his hand, and its subject the Trium-
phal Entry of the Duke of Wellington into Madrid, on the
12th of August, 1812.
It ought to be understood, that, though the holder of a

. ,
Ten Guinea Ticket may possess one or other of these great
works,—THE BIBLE, OR HILTON'S PicrultE,—yet those
who do not gain either will not be losers; for, every Sub-
scriber receives prints to the toll value of his Ten Guinea
Ticket, to be selected from the annexed lists ; so that, in
fact, his chances for the Bible and the Picture coat him
nothing.
The novel features of this plan are—that every purchaser
of a ticket receives immediately the full value of Ilis money,
independently of his future chance.
Every purchaser of a ticket of Ten Guineas, is not only in
the condition of a private purchaser of plates to that amount,
but he has in virtue of that ticket a chance of securing to
himself the great Bible Prize of 3,000 Guineas value, or the
great Picture Prize of 500 Guineas value. It cannot, there-
fore, be doubted that the Subscription List, which is limited
to 350 names, will be shortly filled up, and an early applica-
tion is recommended to all intending purchasers.
The Illustrated Bible, in •15 large folio volumes. may be
inspected any day, between the hours of eleven and four, at
Ole house of Mrs. PARKES, 22, Golden-square, where Ilil-
ton's Picture may also be seen.
The plan at present proposed for drawing is as follows :-
350 Tickets, with the Subscribers' names thereon, to be
placed in a wheel for that purpose. The first drawn name
will be entitled to Hilton's Picture ; the last drawn name
will have the 45 splendid volumes of the Holy Scriptures.
Each Subscriber receiving the full value of his Prints not
connected with either of the great prizes, so that there can
be no blanks.
