L. Portier, most rtfpewkfully offers his services to the enlightened public of this city, in order to teaeh the fu French tongue, cfpecially the reading of it, by a method yet unpra&ifi-d any where. cc This method, simple in itfelf, is to convey to the mind, - by means of particular chara&ers, every kind of founds, - and word», without any regard to the letters tiled to com- P 1 p«*fe them. Each chara&er will express one fyliable, representing to the mkid the only French found proper for it these cha ra&trs are so easy to form, and o recollcsl, thartbe mean f elt conception may thoroughly nnderftand them in kf> than a month. Asfoow as the scholar is acquainted with these charac Itrs, he cannot be at a loss in the reading of any Frene words, becaufehe will find in the table of characters, an .i c observations th reon, the right way of pronouncing ever y proper word. Another advantage deriving from this method, is tn ] - «na,ble the Learner to.. adapt mmn tongue; which he may find very convenient, either to g write private notes, or even correspond with any one ha l ? ing a knowledge of them. The indention of the anther is to keep an Evcnir School from 7 to 9, and to attend -t the h'oufes of tho Ladies and Gentlemen who may be pleased to honoi- t him with their commands. He will teach every da Sundays excepted, one hour by leiTbn, during which, hi will <1© his utmoil to deferv'e their favours.
