of .your reading.
IV.
Never make any stops
between your words whera
there are none introduced ;
neither utter Jiemmsj nor
haas^ still observing to pro-
nounce what you read with
ease, and in the 'Same man.
ner as if you wiire boIdin|;
a familiar conTcrsatioD.
The result of these ge.
neral rules is, that your
pronunciation ought to be
natutal ; that is to say,
without art or aifectation :
clear ; that is to say, dis.
tin<^ and iDtellii^ible :
smooth ; that is to say,
witnout any constraint or
Jiesitation.

The Fable of the Dog and his Shadow.
Un chien ayaut un bon
inorceau cle chair entre Jcs
dents, passa s^ur le bord d'ua
fieuve, ou il vit son ombre,
et cell« du morceau de chair.
II crut que c'eloitim autre
ciiien, qui portoit uiie autre
proie ; et, comme les chiens
sont fort gourmands, il vou-
iut la lui oteri
Mais il fat bien tromj:e,
©t en nieme tems bien puni ;
car il iacha le morceau qu'il
aroit a, la gueule et ne put
se saJsir de celui qu'il vouioit
avoir.
Ainsi, tout surpris de la
perte qu'il vcnoit de faire,
il dit ; 6 sot qnetu es ! si t\\
n'eusses pas efesi gourmand,
il te soroit reste quclqae clioj^e
entre les dents, au-licn que
tu te tronvcs foico de iuuacr
it- present. ^
A dog havjn.^ a so(n\ piece
of llesh between hii teeth,
w ent on the bank of a river,
wht^re he espied his own sha-
dow, and likewise that of the
piece of ilesh.
He thou'iht it was another
doi;, that was carryinw an-
other piece of flesh ; and, ns
dogs are groat gluttons, ho
wanted to snatch it from him.
But he w^as much deceived,
and at the same time dtserv,
edly punished ; for he let .-^o
the piece he had in hismo!<tn,
and could not lay hold of that
which he wished to have.
Beln^ quite astonished at
the loss he had th;it moment
siisfaincd, he said ; what a
fool art thou ! hadst thou
not been so gluttonous, thoti
wouldst still have had soane-
tiiing to cat, wiiereas thou art
reduced to fast at this time.

eJinns,
A Stag went to drink at
a fountain, whose water was
Tcry clear ; after»he had draak,
he viewed hiaiseif in it, and
admired with pleasure the
beauty of his horns.
But the joy he had of it
was Tery soon changed into
an uneasiness, which prejred
on his hearty when hu spied
his long and urgly legs.
Whilst he was thinking
on these things, a huntsman
•came up with his hounds. ^
Immediately the stag went
away^ and ran towards a great
forest to hide himself in it ;
but, it being very thick of
trees, his horns, unluckily
for him, were soon entangled
in the branches, and pre-
vented his running a way, and
the dogs laid then hold ofj
him.

are contained in the following
chapters ; viz.
1st. The diphthongs inyicy^

are ^ -ually considered as one
syllable only, provided th«y
be not preceded by either the
liquid letter / or r, and that
the e of ie be not accented ;
for in those cases, they al-
ways constitutetwosyllables,
and must be pronounced ac
cordingly. When the letter
t occurs before the combina.
tion of the vowels ia or ion,
we also ge^nerally make two
syllables of them, and pro-
nounce the syllable//, in most
French words,* like «.

nard, qui I'aper9tit, fut ten-
te de le liii cnlever. Ainsi,

tise;
A. cro\r K ving perched
herself on a tre., in order to
eat a piece of cheese which she
held'in her biir; a fox, that
perceived her, was tempted
to take it away from her.
Therefore, with an ttitcution
of alluring the crOw, he be.
gan to praise her for the ex.
traordinary beauty of her
feathery. The fox seeing that
the cto"^ fook some pleasure
in his praises,' said to her, if
y^( ur voice is as fin« as your
body is beautiful, you must be
the mtjsf lore'y of ail bifds.
The cirow was so well pleas-
ed with this flattering com-
plinattit, that she opened her
bill, in order to shew what a
fine voice she had, and let fall
the piece of cheese ; the cun-
ning fox immediately seized
it, and ate it in the crow's
sight, who was quite ashamed
of her folly.

vie. Apres lui avoir fait ces
reproches, il 1g lai&ga aller.
An ass having accidentally
met with a wild boar, had
the impudence to deride and
insult him.
The wild boar, foaming
with ra^ie, and grinding his
teeth, hiid at first a great
mind to tear him in pieces ;
but immediately reflecting
that such an animal was not
worthy his anger and revenge,
he refrained from doing him
any harm
Poor wretch, said he to him,
I could severely punish thee
for thy audaciousness, if thou
wert worthy my notice ; but
I will not stain myself with
the blood of so mean a beast.
Thou art but an ass, and thy
cowardice secures thee against
my revenge. After having
upbraided him so, lie lei him
go away*

The Fable of the I>ird-Catcher and the Stork.
UN oisdeiir prit 11 11 jour
'ans ses iilt'ts, plusit'urs ^r\im
c^, et plusieurs oics ; paruii
Jesqiielles il s'y rcocuDira uue
Cifogne.
Ce pauvro oisoaii lo pria
avec instance de lui saiiver la
vle^ et de lui rend re la liber-
te ; d'aufant qu'elle u'etoit ni
cif, ni grue, et qu'elle ne
fesoit de tort a person ne.
De plus, ditelle, j'ai grand
8oin de ma vieillc njere, et ia
nourris avec toute I'atteutioii
dout je suis capable.
L'oiseleur impitoyable lui
repondit, avrc ai:.'reur,qn'est-
ceque eela m'smporte ? puis-
que te voiia prise avec les au-
tres qui m'ont fait du tort, tu
mourras avec eux.
A bird-catcher took one day
in his nets, several cranes,
and several geese ; amongst
which there happeued to be a
Stork.
This unfortunate bird in-
treated him earnestly to spare
her life, and to set her at lib-
erty ; as she was neither a
goose nor a crane, and did
no harm to any body.
Besides, said she, I take
great care of my odmotijer,
a:id feed, her m ith all the at-'
tension 1 am capable of.
The unmerciful bird-catcher
answered her, with an angry
tone, what is all that to me?
since thou art now taken w ith
others that h ivcdone me hann
thou shalt also die with them.
MORAL.

The Fable of the Fl\ and the IIoksg.

cheval qui la tiroit ; qtio tu
las Kntement ! ne vnix-tu

garde quo je ne (e peree le
cou de mou aiguiiloti.
i^e cheval lui repotidit froi-
dcnunt ; tes paroles et tes
inet-aces ne we touchent luc-
res ;je ne Grains que celui qui
conduit, a\ec uu fonel long

Oie parler avee cetle insolen-
ce fiivole et tcuieraire :
Car je sals niieux que toi
quand ii faut m'aneterj et
quaud je doii cuurir.
A fly sitting upon the poTc
of a carriage, called to the
lioise that was drawing it ;
how slowly you creep along !
uon't you uu'rid your pace,
and t',o faster ? Take care,
oi 1 shall twinjcc your neck
Avith the weapon 1 have.
'Jhe horse, with an air of
contempt, replied ; your com-
mands and threats are not
worth my no<ice: I only dread
the man, who, with his long
and pliant whip, drives the
burden which 1 bear : (here-
fore leave off speaking to me
in that saucy and impertinent
manner :
For I knowbetter than you
can tell me, when to halt,
and when to mend my pace.

Friend, answers the wolf,

nineteen consonants ; see p. 13 and 14.
Qv. Do thy always ret di'^ the vocal and articul(tli(^' sounds

tfelves, all the votal sounds and apticulatfons of the Freoch
lanonage, there aro« besides the various coDibiQattons con.
tained in p. 17, 18, and 19, figured accents ^ittd mariis,

Q* What h the use of the Circumjtex f
A. The CirtumAex, w^hich con&istt of two former accents^
is occasionally set on the vowels a, «, i, o, u, to point out
that such Utters are to be pronounced lonj^ ; as in tn^/m,
a m^stiff.dDg ; temp^tey a tempest ; gUf^M lodljinii ; cote, a

Ths Cedilla, M La Cedi/te. --
The Dlaresis, (" ) I^ Dierhc.
The Apostropc, (') L'Jposlruphe,
Q. What h the me of the Cedilla 9 ^--
A. The Cedilla, or Gerilla, as some ciiU it, which ir a
short cmrTe line, is put under the 6 only before <i, o, m, to
divest it of its strong; articulation^ and give it the sharp hiss-
ing sound 6f the s ; as in il mena^a^ he threatened | uneU^un,

Q. lV/i(tt h the use 6f //«c Apusiiophe f
'" A. The A|:ostropht', whiiti is like a comma set at f he top
of a consonant, bervi-s to indicate tho omisftiun of one of
ihDHii vowels only, viz,
a, f, J ;
as in l^ame foi la ame^ tha
soul; Petprit (or U espt'U^ ihit mind a'iV fof « ?7, if he ;
it .s likewise used before an h iiiutc, or not aspirated, as in
Vhummc for le hutnmf^ the man | &c. and after ^u* instead of
f/if, when this word occuts before any of the vowels,
Q. fP^fnti is the meaning of the letter h being aspirated in
somt w >r<ia, and( mute in Othifs, '-^
A. Wiicn the letter^ is said to be aspirated, it impMrs
that it must be uttered id as strong a manner as in the En^Jish
Yf ords, ha^dy host; for instance, it is aspiratedHn i^a/f//,
bold -y honte^ shaaie : but wh6n it is mute^ or not aspirated,
it is uo more uttered in French, than that ojf thc-£tfg^S8b
words huury hrir, honvuv ; therufore we read aMe for 4|»
kii'e^ clever ; amine for himM''^ man, SiC» ■" '''■
Q.'. fVhat is the use of the letter y in French f
A. /The letter ^ often serves to denote the etymwlogy of
■words derivtd from the Greek, wherein Xt stands for a sin-
gle f ; as in anafyne^ analysis ; sjiHuhe^ syllable ; &c. but,
between two vowels, in French words^ it indicates, in soma
of them, the sound of two i*s ; as in essayer^ to try ; en^
voyer, to send ; &c. and in others^ that of a liquid i ; as iu
eyruf^ grandfather ; &c,-
Q. li^hnt^ is the b st -way to acquire the different sounds
and artimlatiotij of Iraich sytlah/es ¥
A. Thereareueneral rnles prefixed to most French Gram-
mars for that purpose ; but from all the attempts that have
hitherto been made, it docs not appear that written diri^c-
tions wiU sufficiently answer the views of an incj^^ti&itife
learner, without th&assistaoGe of a good teachcr<

A. No ; for the Litin language has lid articles, therefore
it is more ambiguous than modern languages are.

rally called )iart% of Speech ; but they are now nnifortnly distinguished

A. Two genders only ; ?iz. the masculine and feminine:
And two niimbcrK ; viz. the sini^ular and plurah
(J, How many sorts of Articles are there in French t
A. Most grammarians reckon three ; viz.
The Definite — (the) te m. la f. ies pi. — Le D(fin{.
The Indefinite— (a or an) un m. une f. — VIndefini, "'
The Partitive- (some) r/« m. de/af, des pL-^Le Paftitif,
But, Strictly speaking, there are but two in French ; viz.
the definite and the indefinite ; the partitive beiny, to all ex-
ternal appearance, though not of the same import, like the
variations of the second state of the definite article : see the
examples of the different declensions, from p. 106 to p. 108
inclusive.
2- Are these Anicles to be placed h'fore all Freruhsuh"
■stantiveSf according to their respective genders and nwm*
bers f
A. No ; for before substantives, in thesin^iilar number,
beginning with a vowel, or h mute, the final vowel ot le and

Q. What is the SuparlAtive I
■'A. The Superlative expresses the signification of the ad-
jective in .the highest or lowest degree of all-; aidd is
formed in French, by putting le plus^ la ptm^ Us plus

Hen or la tienne, thine ; le n6lre or la notre^ ours ; &c. —

% preeeding substantiye^ which is called, by gramme rians,
the antecedent ; as le maitre^ qui enseigne, the master wh6

of French adjectives, p. 110. ludrners are to take notice, that those which
end witli an e aat accented, as amiahler avare, &c. are not, in that respect,
suscepuble of any variation, but are commou to buth gcnUers.

" i^' Learners arc to observe — 1st. That the cardinal
numbers, nn, vingt, cait^ and millio?}^ are susceptible of
the following additions 5 viz. un makes w/if, cither before
or relating to a substantive of the feminine gender : as, un
frar^oriy one boy ; unejilky one girl j j^en vols \in or uut ;
I iCe one of them ; &c. Vingt makes vivgts^ \^hen annexed
to quatrt or six^ before a substantive only ; as, quatrcm
vingts gai^oTiy and siX'Vingts hornmtSy but in no other in-
stance ; for we always vinie quatie~vingt-d€ux gar^ons^ &c.
Both cent and million require an f, when used to denote more
than one ; as deux cents ^ two hundred, &c. deux ?nillionSy
two millions, &c. — 2dly. That tho particle et or tl^- is used
before the unit^ as far as quatre-viri^f (eighty,) as in vingts
et'Uny trettte-et^nv^ quarante-etur, <Scc. but not before the
other numbers ; and after quutre-viiigfy the conjuDCti?e
particle ct is uot uted before the unit.
