TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.


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 one ofthe
many theoretical grammars not sufficiently show
ing the idomahcal part Of the language, or prac-
tical one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, al 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
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number OF set phrases, valuable il is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks the
slightest deviation must lead him inio unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method, may, with
little effort, after "A course Of forty eight lessons
understand and speak the French, and find the as
sistance OF teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution OF the studies of that language.
Instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
and Penmanship, can also lie had from The adver
tiser.
References in success in teaching etc ETC, will
be given.
