importance to the specific rules of grammar than
to the sagacous application of this principle In
learning new language, he was accustomed to
make himself familiar with the prOnuncia alton, by

knowledge of the language, in the first instance,
and then perfected himself in its theoretical prnci-

eminent service in the acquisition of the French
language, and that it may also be consulted with
great advantage by the mature student. Without
