done in given time.

has travelled and resided in Italy and
Spain for several years, he thinks him
self authorised to say, that he derives
the pronunciation of The languages more

from the study Of theoretical principles.
He therefore supposes. that he could
do full justice to private family in
teaching children reading, writing, a
ritlmetic, living languages, fencing,
dancing, and some little music; all when
