ADDRESS.
■N an age when fucccfsful efforts have been
made towards the improvement of tit art of Thinh
/.vtf, ■ -i' whn tinalyjis has h? n discovered the
univ ' a? l, go ' -icthod to ifnpreve all
lciences, ann receive iriuru&ion in t'em, it may
be a matter oi allonifnmcnt that it has not been
yet generally '..braced, and rendered the familiar
method of It "ing. The extraordinary rife and
ptogrefsof ■ y. within a very few years,
are entirely -a an yCs; but there is an art on
which it fhouU have fir ft darted its beneficial rays,
1 allu Je to the i caching of Languages In fadl, Na
ture, thi« excellent »nalyft, w;n fcefore our eyes
guiding children in learning the language of their
mother, and no «hild ever failed in acquiring it,
profiting furpriiingly by her unerring lesson*
Fully convinced by rea'on and experience, thit
the feme method (he pursues (hould be lollrwed as
neatly as poll.ble, I adopted, in the ecu rid of my
inflru&.ons, fiich books eltibiithed cn principles
that baft deviate! from fier fimpledi&atei. I soon
perccivad that the method acquired from tbefeaids
wis bet a very iaegular and imperfect Analysis
—I, therfore, refolvtd though with a very small
confidence in ny fl<-iider abilities, but animated
with zeal lor the improvement of those who may
v ifh to learn French from roe, to undertake the
laborious andar'uous talkofwritinga work,groun
ded or. Analytical principle, which com
prehend what is wifhedfer by thofeapplyiiig them
ielves to the (turfy of the living languages, and
am happy to fay,'l have now nearly concluded it.
ft conlifts oj three parts
The first, i;aehofen Vocabulary of words most
j fmquentiy used in fperch, containining a ,soo—the
most natural acceptation of each is determined by
a phrase prefixed to it.
The fecond,contains the French verbs, both re
gular and irm-ular, from a newfystem in which'
the principal ii.lHculties attending »orjligation ar«
first explained, and observations given ok the use
of each sense, il'.u trated by proper examples, so
as to enable the learner to exprels kimielf with
precision.
The third, is s complete list of those words Jer
vant Je lici> ou de complement defens esitre lei aufret parelcr
du difcotirs : that is to fay—forming the link or complex
tion of fcnfe-beiiveen the other parts of fpeecb, whose
principal ute is to csubtids in Ipeech that connexi
on between words, which a'ready exists in the
mind between idebs. I haw also fully determined
the sense and acception of th. fe important Words
(which are divided into appropriate clafTes to Hi
them the eafior in the memory) by annexing to
each examples in French a. d English
J .s Ido not intend to pubjifh the above,for feme
time, and in order, NevertbtUfs, that my pupils
may reap the fame advantage without it, I hasten
to inform those who m iy he induced to put them
selves under n-.- eare, h :lf t!'<? time cf fchocl
(the oth*r halt-being devoted to other exercises)
will be employed in exsreifing them in the fol
lowing manner :
We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word
of which will I cpronouncedHu English then m
French, to he repeated by one or more of thefcho
lars; and a ftmilar repetition of the phrases before
chertioned will follow.
It is worthy of observation, that in our infan
cy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pro
nounciation of our vernacular tongue, by pro
nouncing word by word; and accornplifh
e>'.vl/it remains to be done, iu order to acquite
the neceflary knowledge of it. The rules given
by Grammarians tp attain this obj-fl are a most
useless to us, and stil! mere so to th* foreigners,
struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation
of a Isuguag: with the he!t> of dictionaries and
Grammar alone. Though I conceive my fcholarg
may attain in the above manner, the accurate
pronunciation of the French language, yet striit
attention is pai.i to their reading in approved au
thors b.-fore we begin the foregoing exercises.
1 will purfuc nearly the fam< method in impart
mg.to them the tonttnts ol the two other divifi jns
of my work. 1 cannot conc'ude this address with
out thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the liberal
encouragement I hav» experienced from them,
thefsfix year past, in my profeffional career,pre
fumir.g that I may be permitted to fay, that I have
not been altogether undeserving of it.
