THE 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 fiuently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledg &c through the

here who read tolerably WELL but do not compre-
bend word of French when spoken or even hen
read, by another. To such persons such Class
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms of Profess
sor d. +. GRoUx, n native of France, who will di-
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
Browns Hotel, where tickets may be had.
