ADDRESS.
IN an age when fuccefjtllT efforts have beeti
made towar<l»tbe imjrrrpjrtieut ol' the art of Think
when Analysts ha* bsen dilcovered the
tioivefla!, and fr»lc good method to improve all
iciences, and receive iniiruwlion in it may
be a natter of astonishment that it has not been
yet generally mhraced, and rendered the familiar
method of learning The citraoVi t .ary rife and
progref* of Chyu i ry wrhii a very few years,
are entirly due t* andy.is ; hut there is an art on
which it flvuld Have fir., d.iwt i . ben-ficial rays,
I allude lathe 'Teaching of Languages. In fadl, Na
ture, this excellent analyll, »a* before onr «yes
guiling children in learning the langw ige of their
mother, and oo ohild ever failed in acqu'firig it,
profiting furprilingly by her unerring leflbns—,.
Fally convinced by realon and experience, chit
the fame method (be purflie* (hould be followed as
nearly as poflible, I adapted, i'i the c r urfs of my
inftru&ions, such books eltabiiib'd t-n principles
that least deviated from her fimpledidlates. 1 soon
perceived that the method acquired from thsfe aids
was but a very irregular and nnperiecl Analysis
—l, thcrfore, rtfolvecf though with a very frrvall
confidence in my ft-nder abilities, but animated
with zeal ior the improvement of those wVn may
•*ifli to learn French from me, to ua.iertake the
la' orious and arduous talk ofwritinga work,groun
ded or. Analytical principle, which mufht com
prehend what is wiihedfor by thofeapplyiog them
selves to the of the living languages, and
am happy to fay, I have now nearly concluded it.
It confirts of three parts
The first, is achofen Vocabulary of words most.
fr«quer;t!y.ufed infpeech, ccutainining 1,50c —the
most natural acceptation of each is determined by
a phrase prefixed to it.
The fecond,contains the French vetbs, both re
gular and irregular, from a new system in which
the principal difficulties attending conjugation are
first explained, and ohfervations yivsuonthe use
of each sense, illustrated by proper examples, so
as to enable the learner to expreii fcimfelf with
preciflon.
The third, is a complete list of those words fir
var.t delieh w de complement de fens entre lesautres pareles
da difcours : that i„ to fay —forming the lint or comple*
iion offenfe between the other farts of speech, whofc
principal ule is to establish in fpe.-ch tt.at conne&i
---011 between words, which a ready exists in the
mind between ideas. I fully determined
the sense and acception of these impo-tant words
(which are divided into appropriate dalles to fix
thfoi the easier in the memory) by annexing to
each examples in French a d Engliih
As Idon. t intend to publilh the above,for feme
time, and in order, fievcrthelef*. that my pupils
may reap the fame advantage without it, I hasten
to inform those who may he inviuced toputthem
felves under my care, that hall the time of school
(the other half being devoted to other exercifes) t
will be employed in ejercifing them in the fol
lowing manner
We first begin with the Vocabulary; each word
of which will t« proliuunced iu Englilh then is
French, to! - e repeated by one or mere of thefcho
lars; and a similar repetition of the phrases before
mentioned will follow.
It is worthy of oMe-vation, that in o*r infan
cy, arvd as we advance in years, wj learn tke pro«
rtuuncii'.ion of r>ur vjrr.acular tongue, by pro
iMGnciug word by word; end
es what remains to b? done, in or :er to acquire
the neceflary knowledge of it. The rules given
by Grammarians to attain this obj.rfl tire a most,
useless to us, and still more so to tire foreigner*,
•trugglirg in vain to learn the true pronunciation
of a teuguage with the help of <H<ftionari« and
Grammar alone. I hough I conceive mjr fcholarj
may attain ia the abi ve manner, the accurate
pronounciafion of th« French language, yet uriit
attention is pai l to their reading in approved au
thors before we begin the foregoing txercifcs.
1 will pursue nearly tbefam* method in impart
ing to them the «ont»nts ol th>; two other div si ,a»
of my work. I cannot conclude this address with
out thanking my Fellow-Citizens for the lih.-ral
encouragement I have experienced irom t' rri
thefsfix years past, in ir-.y profeffional caretr jre
fumir.g that I may be permitted to fay, that I have
not been altogether undeserving of it
