yTNaE OBJECT OF THIS CLASS is to aid In
i every possible way those persons in Washing
ton who desire TO acquire an accurate knowledge
Of French, and to learn not only to read, but to
speak the language tiuently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge tlIronghthe
eye alone, and hence the number of individuals
here who read tolcrably well, but do not comprc-
hend word Of French when spoken ,or even when
read, by another. To such persons such Class
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms of Profes'
sor d. Il. GRoux, native of France, who will di-
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
