ADDRESS. IN an age when fuccefsful efforts have been made towards the improvemeut of the art of Think" ing, and when Ammlyfu has been difcovercd the universal, and sole good method to improve all i'ciences, and receive infiru-flion in them, it may be a xAalter of attoniftiment that it has not been yet generally robraced, and rendered the familiar method of learning The extraordinary rife and progrtfsof Chya&i try,within a very few years, are entirely due t« which it (hoilld have firft darted its beneficial rays, I allude to the Teaching of Languages. In fadt, Na ture, this excellent amalyd, wa» Lefore our eyes guiding children in learning the language of their mother, and no ohild ever failed in acquiring' it f profiting furpriflngly by her unerring lefTons— Fully convinced by reason ar.d experience, thit the lame method she pursues Jhould be followed as neatly as pofiible, 1 adopted, in the course of my infltuilions, such books eltabliihrd on principles that least deviate-! from her fimpledidate* I soon perceived that the method acquired from thefeaids was but.a very irregular aud imperfeft Aoalyfis —-I, therfore, rtfolved though 'trith avery smalt confidence in my (lender abilities, but ahimatfd with zeal tor the improvement of those who may wish to learn French from me, to undertake the laborious and arduous taflc work.groun ded or. Analytical principle, which com prehend what i 9 wifhedfor by thofeapplying them selves to the lludy of the living languages, and am happy to fay, I have now nearly concluded it. It conlifts of three parts. The first, is achofen Vocabulary of words mott frequently used in speech, containining a',soo—the mo>t i.atural acceptation of each is determined by a phrase prefixed to it. The ficond, contains the French verbs, both re gular and irregular, from a newi'jstem in which the principal difficulties attending conjugation are first explained, and ohfervations given on the use of each seise, il'ustrated by proper examples, so as to enable the learner to exprels himfelf with precifinn. The third, is a complete lift of those words _/£r vant de lieu ou de complement de fens entre les antra parelet du dlfc.urs : that is to (\y—forming the link or ample tion of sense bettvecn the other parts of fpeeeb whose principal ule ii to esublilK in speech that connefii o ) between words, whi* ! a ready exi-,ts in the mind between ideas I h 'ie also fully ditermined the sense and acception of thrfe itnpsrtan*- worls (which are divided into appropriate el:i(T s to fix thtin the easier in the memory) by annexing to> each examples in French a dEn fii As Ido not intend to pwSlifh the above,for fame time, and in order, tseverthelef , that my pupils may reap the fame advantage without it, I hasten t.' inform those who may be induced to put them selves under tny care, that hdf the time of school (the othsr half beitig devoted to other cxercifes) will be employed in exercising them in the fol lowing manner:— We first begin wjth the Vocabulary; each word of which will !-« pronounced in Englilh then ia French, to be repeated by one or more of thefcho- * lars; and a similar repetition of the phrases before mentioned will follow. It is worthy of obfevation, that in our infan cy, and as we advance in years, we learn the pro nounciation of our vernacular tongue, by pro enouncing word by word ; and Analogy accompiifh ts what remains to b; done, in order to acquire the necessary knowledge of it. The rules given by Grammarians to attain this objeft are a most useless to us, and still more so to the foreigners, struggling in vain to learn the true pronunciation of a lauguage with the help of dictionaries and Grammar alone. Though I conceive my fcholara may attain in the above manner, the accurate prononnciation of the French language, yet striA attention is paid to their reading in approved au thors before we begin the foregoing exercises. 1 will pursue nearly th«J3sm« method in impart ing to them the sonunts of the two other diviii. ns of my work I cannot conclude this address with out thanking my Fellow Citizens for the liberal encouragement I have exprri t.fed from them, thefsfix years past, in my profefTional career.fre fumir.g that I may be permitted to fay, that I have not been altogether undefervingof it.
