been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines Of this country; and
the host Of imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain''-are sufi-
Gent to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises OF

rI,HE OBJECT OF THIS CLASS IL TO aid in
IL every possible way those pcrsons in Washing
ton who desire TO acquire an accurate knowledge
OF French, and TO learn not only Co read. but TO
speak the language huently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge through the
eye alone, and hence the number OF individuals
here who read toerably well, but do not compre-
bend word OF French when spoken, or even when
read, by another. To such persons such n Glass
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms Of Profes-
sor ID. T.. GnoUx, native Of France who will di-
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
