il uate of the Polytechnic School OF Paris, re-
specially offers his services teacher of his
native tongue TO Schools, Classes, and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity. The system he
follows 10 facilitate the acquisition of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practice; by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the diomatica part of the language, or prac-
tlcal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, nj least far too much, are
neglected In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time TO the mere me-
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number of set phrases, valuable it is
true, bat from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead hin, into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method. may, with
little effort. after course of foryesght lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the as
sstance ola teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution of the studies oftha language

and Penmanship, can also be had from the adver
user.
