 lest I should give offence to 
 any body, I will content 
 myself with offering the fol- 
 lowing one, which, till 
 French teachers can pro-

 they have my pressing de-

 Lorsqu'on commence a 
 etiseigncr I'Alphabet a 
 quelqu'un, on doit s*npli- 
 quer a lui faire prononcer 
 chaque lettre parfaite- 
 inent; et pour c^t ef!et, il

 On no peut s'empt- 
 
 di6r d*avouer que cette 
 
 mcthode ne soit plus 
 
 aise^, et plus certaine 
 
 que d'enseigner T Alphabet 
 
 tout-a-la-fois, y ayaiit 
 
 trop de lettres pour en

 —consequently more credit 
 to themselves, and a great- 
 er satisfaction in their oc- 
 cupation. ' 
 
 When learners are first 
 taught the names of the let- 
 ters of the Alphabet, the 
 greatest pains should be 
 used to make them pro- 
 nounce each letter proper- 
 ly; neither should they be 
 taught more than eight at a 
 time: when perfect in these, 
 go on with eight more; then 
 ]tt the whole sixteen be add- 
 ed together, continuing in 
 this manner till they have 
 learned the whole. 
 
 This method, all must 
 allow, is more easy and 
 more certain than teaching 
 beginners, and especially 
 youny ones, the whole num- 
 ber of letters at once, which 
 are too many for them to 
 retain theright pronouncia- 
 tion of their names. When 
 this is effected, it is neces- 
 sary that the pupil should 
 be informed, 1st. That 
 those names are given to 
 
 letters only for the sake of

 miscalling words ; but spell 
 it within yourself, before 
 you offer to pronounce it 
 -with a loud voice. 
 III. 
 
 Be very careful in mind- 
 ing your stops, as they are 
 pointed; or else, neither yoa 
 that read, nor those that har- 
 ,. ken to you, will be able to 
 make sense of your reading. 
 IV. 
 
 Never make any stops 
 between your wv)r<ls where 
 there arc none introduced ; 
 neither utter kt^vrnis^ nor 
 haaSi still obb§rvii?g to pro- 
 nounce what vou read with 
 ease, and in the same man- 
 ner as if you were holding 
 a familiar conversation. 
 
 The result of these ge- 
 neral rules is, that your 
 pronunciation ought to be 
 natural ; that is to say» 
 without art or affectation : 
 clear; that is to say, distinct 
 and intelligible : smooth s 
 that is to say, without «i^ 
 constraint or hesitation.

 FIRST LESSON. 
 
 IN ROMAN LETTERS. 
 
 11 n'y a qu'un seul Dieii; There is only one God; 
 il est le Roi des rois, et le he is the King of kings, 
 Saints des saints. and the Saint of saints. 
 
 Dieu est si bon qu'il me God is so good that he 
 fait tons les jours du bien; loads me every day witli

 sans lui je ne puis rien ; il ceive all; without him I can 
 sait tout ce que je fais & ce have nothing; he knows all 
 que je dis ; & il vait au fond that I do, and whatever 1 
 
 say ; his eyes see to the 
 bottom of my heart. 
 
 Near him, Kings are 
 less than nothing. 
 
 His hands have made nil; 
 I see that is good and fine; 
 in a word, all is full of his 
 holy name. 
 
 Don't do what is bad, 
 but do what, is good ; for 
 
 de mon coeur. 
 
 Pres de lui, les Rois sont' 
 moins que r'en. 
 
 Ses mains out fait tout ce 
 que je vols de bon & de 
 beau ; en un mot, tout est 
 plein de son saint nom. 
 
 Ne fais point le mal, mais 
 le bien ; car qui fait bien, 
 
 plait a Dieu ; mais qui fait whosoever does good, 
 mal, ne craint pas Dieu, et pleases God ; but whoever 
 a grand tort. 
 
 Tous nos pas vont vers 
 la niort ; mais, quand on vit 
 bien, on ne la craint pas. 
 
 does bad, does not fear 
 God, and acts very wrong. 
 All our steps move to- 
 wards death ; but those 
 who live well are not afraid 
 of it. «. .^ . 
 
 * The following Translations will be found not very smooth in 
 some places ; but this the judicious reader will excuse, well know- 
 ing that when two languages are made to correspond word for wonl 
 it is impossible but one of them should be a little gtift". or not quite 
 literal. —■ '

 SECOND LESSON. 
 
 IN ITALIC LETTERS. 
 
 Vefais point de cas du 
 mat que I' on dit de tgi ; et 
 Jilts de bon cosur tout ce que 
 tu dots. 
 
 TienS'toi pres de ceux 
 qui sont gens de bien ; et si 
 tu lescrois tels, ne sois point 
 du tout las de les voir. 
 
 On ne plait pas t ant par 
 ce que Von dit^ que par ce 
 que l^onfait. Un don en 
 vaut deux, quand on Ic fait 
 de son chef; it en vaut cent, 
 quand on le fait de bon 
 coeur, 
 
 Lorsque I'on sail quel^on 
 est bon, onne l^estpas long- 
 terns ; mais des qu^on le dit 
 on no l^est plus de tout, 
 
 Le jcu ne vaut rien ,- je 
 plains cesgcns que l^on voit 
 par-tout, et tons les jours au 
 jeu, ilsfont dujour la nuit, 
 et de la nuit lejour, "^ 
 
 Qiiatid Oft perd, on est 
 tout hors de soi ; on se sent le 
 cceur tout en feu : on le voit 
 a nos yeux ; on ne sail plus 
 ce que l^on est, ni ce que l^on 
 dit, ni ce que Von fait ; ce 
 sont Id les beaux fruits du 
 
 Do not mind what one 
 may say of thee ; and do 
 heartily whatever thou hast 
 to do. 
 
 Keep company with such 
 as are good ; and if thou 
 knowest them to be so, ne- 
 ver be tired of seeing them. 
 
 We do not please so much 
 by what we say, as by what 
 we do. A gift is worth two, 
 when freely given ; k is 
 worth a hundred of them, 
 when it is made heartily. 
 
 When a man knows he 
 is good, he does not long 
 remain so ; if he declares 
 it, he is so no longer. 
 
 Gaming is good ifor no- 
 thing ; I pity those who are 
 every day gaming; they 
 turn day into night, and 
 night into day. 
 
 When a man loses, he 
 is quite mad ; he feels his 
 heart heated, which is 
 known by his looks ; he no 
 longer knows what he says,^ 
 nor what he does : these 
 are the consequences of 
 gaming.

 MORAL. 
 
 J7 nefout ni louer ni bid- We must neither prise 
 tner une chose, sans avoir nor blame any thing until 
 connu a quoi elle peut etre we hare known its propre 
 propre, '-^ .use. 
 
 A Stag went to drink at 
 a fountain, whose water was 
 very clean ; after he had 
 drank, he viewed himself in 
 it, and admired with plea- 
 sure the beauty of his horns. 
 
 But the joy he had of it 
 was very soon changed inta 
 an uneasiness, which prey- 
 ed on his heart, when he 
 spied his long and ugly legs. 
 
 Whilst he was minking 
 on these things^a huntsman 
 came up with his hounds. 
 Immediately the stag 
 went away, and ran towards 
 a great forest to hide him- 
 self in it ; but, it being very 
 thick of trees, his borns^ 
 unluckily for him, were 
 soon entangled in the bran- 
 ches, and prevented hi» 
 running away, and the dogs 
 laid then hold of him.

 Obsebtations n^ces- 
 saires a faire faire a un ^co- 
 lier, pour prevenir qu'il ne 
 prononce mal quelques 
 mots qui se trouvent dans 
 les chapitres suivans. 
 
 I ® . Les diphthonffues 
 ia, iCf ie, iOy forment deux 
 syllabes dans la poesie ; 
 mais dans la prose, on ne 
 les y prononce que comme 
 une syllabe, pourvu que ni 
 la lettre / ou r ne les prece- 
 deet que V e de la syllabe ie 
 •ne soit point accentue ; car, 
 en ces cas-Ia, ilenfauttou- 
 jours faire deux syllabes. 
 Lorsque le t se rencontre 
 devant la combinatson des 
 Yoyelles ia ou ion^ on en 
 fait ordinairementdeux syl- 
 labes, et Ton donne a //,

 Observations necessary 
 to be taken notice of by the 
 learner, to prevent his mis- 
 pronouncing some words 
 which are contained in the 
 following chapters ; viz. 
 
 1st* The dipth thongs m, 
 iV, iSy to, form two syllables 
 in poetry; but in prose, 
 they are usually considered 
 as one syllably only, provid- 
 ed they be not preceded by 
 either the liquid letter / or 
 r, and that the e of te be 
 not accented : for in those 
 cases, they always cansti- 
 tute two syllables, and must 
 be pronounced according- 
 ly. When the letter / oc- 
 curs before the combination 
 of the vowels ia or ion, we 
 also generally make two 
 syllaHes of them, and pro- 
 nounce the syllables /i, in 
 most French words, * like 
 
 EXAMPLES. 
 
 Dia-deme, ou-bli-a, 
 Su-pli-e, pi-ti-^, 
 
 Ac-ti-on, ' lic-ti-on 
 
 de-cri-a; - 
 vio-len-ce ; 
 par-ti-al.

 * The words wherein this pronunciatioii is not to be observed 
 are those wbi^h have an s or an x prefixed to ti ; as in Chris-H-anis' 
 mcy has-tiont miX'tUm, and likewise in these two, viz. ga-lirma-iias^ 
 a bombast ; H-aret a sort of diadem ; for the ( must be articulated

 ^ The fable of the Frog and the Ox. 
 
 Une grentmilte ayant un 
 jour aperfuun bceufquipais^ 
 soil dans une prairie, ujlaU 
 ta de pouvoir devenir aitssi 
 gros$e que cet animal, Elle 
 Jit de grands efforts pour en- 
 Jler sapeau ridee, et demau" 
 da alors a ses compagnes^si 
 sa taille commenfoit a apro» 
 cher de celle dubeeuf, 
 
 Elles lui dirent que non, 
 Elle Jit doncdenouveaux ef" 
 forts pour ienfler ioujours 
 deplus en plus ; et demanda 
 encore unefois aute grenouil" 
 leSf si elleegcfloit a peu^pres 
 la grosseur du boeuf, 
 
 Elles luijirent la meme re-- 
 ponse que la premierejois. 
 
 La grenouille, ne changea 
 
 pas pour cela le dessein, elle 
 
 persista ; mais le dernier ef" 
 
 fort qiC elle Jit pour s*enfter 
 
 Jut si violent, qu*elle en creva 
 
 sur le champ. 
 
 A frog spying one day 
 an ox in a meadow, fancied 
 that she could make herself 
 as big as that animal. She 
 made great efforts to swell 
 the wnnkles of her skin, 
 and asked her companions, 
 whether her size began to 
 come near that of the ox. 
 
 They told her, that it was 
 not. She therefore made 
 new efforts to swell herself 
 still more and more ; and 
 asked a second time of the 
 frogs, whether she did al- 
 most equal the bigness of 
 the ox. 
 
 They made her the same 
 answer as they had before. 
 
 The frog did not how- 
 ever, change her desi^; 
 but the last effort which 
 she made to swell herself 
 was so violent, that she 
 burst immediately. 
 
 MORAL. 
 
 Les petits se ruinent soU' Little folks ruin thcm- 
 
 vent, quand ils veulent aller selves, when they attempt 
 
 depair avec les grands^ et to be upon an equality with 
 
 les imiter, the great.

 jjl se trouvoit, etdeluijeter

 Le loup,plaIgnantsadis-

 ■ tions pour savoir comment il 
 tttoit tombe dans le puits. 
 Ce n'est pas maintenant le 
 terns de me questionner, ni 
 cde discourir, repliqua le re- 
 nard, quand vous m'aurez

 rtances de cctte avanture. 
 
 A fox having fallen by 
 chance into a well, was on 
 the point of being drowned 
 wheniie perceived a wolf on 
 the brink of the well. He 
 earnestly begged of him to 
 assist him in this extreme 
 danger, and to throw him a 
 rope that he might get out 
 of it. 
 
 The wolf, pityinghismif- 
 fortune, asked him several 
 questions, in order to be in- 
 formed how he had happen- 
 ed to fall into the well. It 
 is not now a time to qutstion 
 me, nor to hold a discourse, 
 replied the fox; when you 
 have drawn me out of this 
 place, I will explain to you, 
 at leisure, all the circum- 
 stances of this accident. 
 
 MORAL. 
 
 li ne convient pas de 
 harranguer nos amis, ni de 
 leur faire des reprimandes, 
 quand ils sont endanger. II 
 faut d*abord les secourir, en- 
 suite leur parler, si Pon a 
 quelque chose d leur dire. 
 
 \ 
 
 G 
 
 It is not fit to make long 
 speeches to our friends, nor 
 to reprimand them, when 
 tliey are in any danger. We 
 must immediately assist 
 them, and then speak, if we 
 have any thing to say to 
 them.

 qu*un ane, et ta lacbete tc of so mean a beast. Thou 
 met a couvcrt de mes coups, art but an ass, and thy co- 
 
 ette sauve la vie. Apres

 MORAL. 
 
 u 
 
 Le mdprls est I'miique 
 vengeance qne Ton doive 
 prendre d'lm malheureiix. 
 D*aiileurp, la victoire que 
 Ton remporte sur un enne- 
 mi vil et fo ble, est trop ai- 
 s^e, et ne fait pas honneur. 
 
 Contempt is the only re- 
 verge which we ought tp 
 take of a silly fellow, or of 
 an impudent wretch. Be- 
 sides victory v/liich is gained 
 overaweak and paltry ene- 
 my is too easy, and does 
 not procure honour.

 The Fable of the Lion and the Rat. 
 
 Un lion,fatigJie dc lacha" 
 Uwj et abattu de lassitude, 
 dormoitd lombra d*itn arbre. 
 Un rat, qui le vit, lui rrionta 
 sur te corps pdUr se divert ir, 
 
 Le lion se rcveitta, etendlt 
 la patte, et $*en sahit ; le rdt 
 se voj/antpris, et sans espi- 
 ranee dechaper, demanda 
 pardon cm Ihn de son inci-^ 
 viliteet desa hardiesse; etle 
 supplia tres'humblement de 
 ltd sawver la vie. Le lion, 
 touchS de cette soumissiott, 
 lejaissa alter, 
 
 Ce bienfait nefut pas per" 
 du i car^ le lion etant tombe^ 
 quelques jours apres, dans un 
 Jilet, dont il nepouvoit se de- 
 barrasser, il se mit d nigir 
 de toute sa farce : le rat re* 
 connoissant aux tuoissemens 
 du lion qu'il etoitpris, accou- 
 rutp'omptemefit potir lesecou^ 
 rir : il se mit aussitot a ron-' 
 gerles mailles dujtlet, et lui 
 procura par Id letnoi/en de 
 s'hader. 
 
 A lion, faint with heat* 
 anil weary with fcitlguc, slep* 
 under a shady tree. A rat» 
 that saw him, got upoki hi^ 
 back to have a little sport* 
 The lion waking, stretch- 
 ed his paw, and took him ; 
 the rat finding himsrelftaken 
 and without liopes ofescap- 
 ingy asked the lion's pardon 
 for his boldness ; and very 
 humbly craved for his life. 
 The lion, moved by hb 
 submission, let him go. 
 
 This favour was not lost 
 for the lion, being caught a 
 few days after in a net, from 
 which he coidd not free him- 
 self, he began to roar migh- 
 tily ; the rat, knowing by 
 the lion's rdai'ing, that he 
 was taken, ran quickly to 
 his assistance: he began in- 
 stantly to gnaw the meshes 
 of the net, and thereby 
 enabled him to- make his 
 escape.

 UN oiseleurprit unjour

 grues, et plusieurs oies; 
 parmi lesquelles il s'y ren- 
 contra une Cicogne. 
 
 Ce pauvre oiseau le pria 
 atec instance de lui sauvela 
 vie, etde lui rendre la liber- 
 ty; d'autant qu'ellen'^toit ni 
 ole, ni grue, et qu'elle iie 
 fesoit de tort a personne. 
 
 De plus, dit elle, j*ai 
 grand soindemavieille me- 
 re, et la nourris avec toute 
 Tattention dont je suis ca- 
 pable. 
 
 L*oiseleur impitoyable 
 Iiii repondit, avec aigreur 
 qn'estcequecela m'iinporte? 
 puisque te voila prise avec 
 les autres qui nVont fait du 
 tort, tu mourras avec eux. 
 
 A bird catcher took one 
 day in his nets, several 
 cranes, and several geese ; 
 amongst which there hap- 
 pened^to be a Stork. 
 
 This unfortunate bird in- 
 treated him earnestly to 
 spare her life, and to set her 
 at liberty f as skie was nei- 
 ther a goose nor a crane, 
 and did na harnr ta any 
 body. 
 
 Besides, sard she, I take 
 ffreat care of my old mo^- 
 tner, and feed her with all 
 the attention I am capable 
 of. 
 
 The unmieirciful bird- 
 catcher answered her, with 
 an angry tonj, what is all 
 that to me ? smce thou art 
 now taken with others that 
 have done me harm thou 
 shalt also die with them.

 The Fable of the Fly and the House. S? 
 
 mat] 
 
 Une moucbe plac^ sur le 
 timon d'une voiture^ crioit 
 d'un ton impcrieux, apresi 
 le cheval qui la tiroit ; que 
 tu vas lentement! ne veuK 
 tu pas marcher phis vite ? 
 Prens garde que ie ne te 
 .peice le cou de mo a aiguil- 
 Ion.' 
 
 Le cheval lui repondit 
 froidement ; tes paroles et 
 tes menaces ne me tou- 
 chent guiles ; je ne crains 
 que ceiui qui conduit, avec 
 un fouet long et souple, ie 
 joug que je porte : cVst 
 pourquoi, cesse de me pur- 
 ler avec cette insolence fri- 
 vole et t^meraire : 
 
 ( ' ''^ safs roieux que toi 
 qu«tj \ut m*arreter, et 
 quaii .V ' iois courir. 
 
 A fly sitting upon the 
 pole of a carriage, called to 
 the horse that was drawing 
 it ; how slowly you creep 
 along \ won't you mend 
 your pace and ^o faster ? 
 Take care, or I shall twinge 
 your neck with the weapon 
 I have. 
 
 The horse, with an air of 
 contempt, replied ; your 
 commands and threats are 
 not worth my notice : I on« 
 ly dread the man, who, with 
 hi^ long and pliant whip, 
 drives the burden which I 
 bear : therefore leave off 
 speaking to me in that sau- 
 cy and impertinent manner. 
 
 For I know better than 
 you can tell me, when to halt 
 and when to mend my pace. 
 
 MORAL.

 la liberie ? 
 
 Non pas tout-dfait, r^- 
 pondit le cliien. 
 
 Oh ! voire serviteur, mon- 
 tieur li loup ; jouissez, d la 
 bonne heure, des avantages 
 dont vousfaites tant de cas. 
 
 Qjtant d moi, Je ne wm-

 car la liberte est ma devise. 
 
 ty ; my master brings me 
 bones from his table ; the 
 servants every now and 
 then toss me a tit-bit; and 
 whatever scraps are left 
 by the family, fall, of course, ^ 
 to my share. — This is - 
 my mannerofliving, without 
 having any great trouble. 
 
 But tell mc, replied the 
 wolf, if you should be in- 
 clined someiimes to take a 
 11 ttle trip £U^ where, areyoit

 I can't say that I am, said 
 the dog. 
 
 Then farewell, friend, en-^- 
 joy, and welcome, all tho 
 good things you have been 
 just now boasting of. 
 
 For my part, fwould not 
 be a king upon the terms > 
 you mention ; for liberty it 
 the word for me.

 Celts fable est bien pro* 
 pre a. nous aj)prendre qu^un 
 homme, quoique pauvre, peut 
 etre plus heureux, s^il jouit 
 de sa liberty, que celui qui 
 est opulent, et vit dans un 
 Hat de servitude* 
 
 This fable is fit to tea«h us 
 that the poor man, who en- 
 joys his liberty, may be far 
 happier than he who makes - 
 the greatest figure, andi 
 lives\ in a state of ^depeut^-

 ijuestion. f T Answer. It is an art which teaches the 
 
 |1roper manner of speaking and Writing a ]inguage. It 
 
 lias therefore, for its object,- the consideratiou of Letters, 
 
 Syllables, Words, and Sentences. 
 
 * Q. How many Letters are there in the French Language ? 
 
 A. There are twenty-five ; namely, six vowels, and 
 nineteen consonants ; see p* 13 and 14. 
 
 Q. Do they always retain the €ocal and articulated sound f 
 QHribed to tneni in the Alphabet ? ' 
 
 /i. No ; fc^ these being insuiRcient to represent, of 
 themselves, all the vocal sounds and articulations of the 
 French language, there are, besidss the various combi- 
 nations contained in p. 17, 18 and 19, figured accents and 
 marks, which are made use of to indicate others.

 The Acute (') 
 
 The Grave (') 
 
 The Circumflex, ( " ) 
 
 Q. What is the use of the Acute ? 
 
 A. The Acute which is a short line draw from the right 
 hand towards the left, is placed on the vowel e only, to 
 indicate a sharp sound ; as in //^, been, &c., , 
 
 Q. IVhat is the use of the Grave > 
 
 A. The Grave, which on the contrary, is. a short line 
 drawn from the left hand towards the right, is chiefly used 
 on tlie vowel e to denote a clear and open sound ; as iu 
 accesy access, apreSy after, &c. It is also used upon a and 
 u in the three following words, viz. a\ at or to ; /a\ there ; 
 city where ; merely to distinguish them from a, has ; /a» 
 the ; 02/, or, * 
 
 Q. What is the use of the Circumflex ? 
 
 A. The Circumflex^ which consists of two former ac* 
 cents, is occasionally set on the vowels a^ e, /, o, u, to point 
 out that such letters are to be pronounced long; as in 
 mating a mastifl^dog ; tempete^ a tempest ; gfte^ a lodging ; 
 cotey a side ijliitei a flute ; whereas they are short in mating 
 raorning ; trompeite, a trumpet, 3tc. » 
 
 Q. What are the other marks used in the French language ? 
 A. There are three sorts of them ; namely. 
 
 The Cedilla, (9) La cMille,- 
 
 The Dlseresis,^ (") La Dierese. 
 The Apostrophe, (') U Apostrophe. 
 
 Q. WhatisfheuseqftheCediUa? 
 
 A. The Cedilla or Cerilla» as some call it, which is a 
 short curve line, is put under the c only beftre cr, o, t/, to 
 divest it of its strong articulation, and give it the sharp 
 hissing sound of the s ; as in it menafa, he threatea^d ; 
 hne Iff on, a lesson ;jSf mfu&i I received, &Cc 
 
 Q. What is the use of t/te Diceresis ? 
 
TO FRENCH GRAMMAR. 
 
 ICl 
 
 in the 
 
 A. The Diaeresis, whi^'h consists of two dots, isplaccil 
 over the last of two vovels that meet together in a wortS, 
 to mark they are to Ue pronounced In two syllables ; ii ^ 
 hraelf laiCf Saill^ j;c, read Isra-el, ia-ic, «!^e, 
 
 Q. What is the use of the Apostrophe F 
 
 A. The Apostrophe, which is like a comma set at the 
 top of a consonant, serves to indicate the omission < f 
 one of these vowels only, viz, a, e, i ; as in Vdmc^ for iu 
 Smfy the soul ; I* esprit for le esprit^ the mind ; s'il for si il, 
 if he: it is likewise used before an h mute, or not aspirated, 
 as in rhomme for le homme^ the man, &c. ; and after qu^ m- 
 stead of ^IM', when this word occurs before any of the 
 vowels. 
 
 Q. What is the meaning of the letter h Being aspirated 
 in tome words, and mute in others, 
 
 A» When the letter h is said to be aspirated, it implies 
 that ilf must be uttered in as stron*:; a manner as in the 
 English words, hard, host ; for instance, it is aspirated i:i 
 haidi, bold; honte, shame; but when it is mute, or not 
 aspirated, it is no more uttered in FreAch, than ti.at 
 of the English words hour, heir, honour; therefore we read 
 abile for haLiU, clever; omme for homme, man, &c. - . 
 
 Q. What is the use of the lettre y in French P 
 
 A. The letter 1/ often serves to denote the etymology 
 of words derived from the Greek, wherein it stands for 
 a single I ; as in analyse, analysis \syllahe, syllable ; &c. , 
 but, between two vowels, in French words, it indicates, 
 in some of them, the sound of two i*s ; as in essayist, to 
 try ; envoyer, to send, &t% ; and in others, thiit oi i\ lU 
 quid f, as in ayeid, grandfather, &c. 
 
 Q. What is the best xvay to acquire the different sounds 
 and. drticulations of French syllables? 
 
 A. There are general rules prefixed to most Frti^cli . 
 Grammars for that purpose; but from all the attempts 
 that have hitherto been made, it does not appear tiiat " 
 written directions will sufficiently answer the views of 
 an inquisitive learner, without the assistance of a gocd 
 teacher.

 0/ Words, their General DUiinction, 
 
 Q. WHAT is meant by a Word T 
 
 A. A word in one or more syllables' put together to 
 signify something. 
 
 Q. Are there many different sorts of words in a langnage f 
 
 A. There are several distinct kinds of words m mn- 
 guages; but grammarians do not agree about their respec- 
 tive doBominations, nor even their number *• 
 
 Q. What is the usual denomination of those vohich serve 
 to compose the English and French languages ? 
 
 A. The various words made use of in speaking or 
 wridng, may be denominated and classed as follows; viz» 
 
 French. 
 
 English. 
 
 1. The Articles^ 
 2.' The Substantives 
 
 3. The Adjectives, 
 
 4. The Pronouns^

 6. The Particles, 
 
 Les Articles, 
 Les Substantifs, 
 Les Adjectifs. 
 IjCS Pronams, 
 Les Verbes. 
 Les Particides* 
 
 Q. Are not these denominations suitable to the various 
 classes of words in all Languages ? 
 
 A« No ; for the Latin language has np articles, there- 
 fore it is more ambiguous than modern languages nte* 
 
 * The different sort of words, that constitute a lan^age, are ge- 
 nerally called FarU^f Speech; but they are now unifonnly distio- 
 tinguished by modem grammarians; some reckoning len of them, 
 Which they call and range thus ; JXbutu, Adjeetinet, JStrtkUt, Pro- 
 nounst Verbs, Particles, Adverbt, PrepotUimt, Conjunetimu, and 
 Interjeetiont ; some mntf by leaving out the ParticipU*; others ctg'it 
 by omitting the denominations of Adjectwes and Partie^ki, and so 
 down to four; viz. •/Wun*, AdnounSf VtrUi and PwriUipUSi or 
 invariable words.

 CHAP. III. 
 
 ,» .< 
 
 Of Articles in General . 
 
 Q. WH AT it an article r 
 
 A. The article is a small word prefixed to substantives, 
 to shew their relations to preceaing or following words : 
 thCTse circumstances being not expressed, in moderH lan- 
 guages, by casei or different terminations, as they are iu 
 the Greek and Latin languages. 
 
 Q. What is there to be observed with regard to French 
 and Enslish articles ? 
 
 A. That the French articles have genders and numbers ; 
 whereas, the English articles are not susceptible of any 
 grammatical variation. 
 
 Q. Hau: many Genders and Numbers are there in 
 French ? 
 
 A. Two genders only ; viz. the masculine and femi- 
 nine : and two numbers ; viz. the singular and plural. 
 
 Q. Ham many sorts qf Articles are there in French ? 
 
 A. Most grammarians reckon three ; viz. 
 
 The Definite — (the)/^m. la f. lespL — Le Defini. 
 
 The Indefinite---(a or an) tin m. une f. — Ulndefini, 
 
 The Partitive— (some) du m. de la f. des pL-Le Partitifi 
 
 But, strictly speaking, there are but two in French ; viz. 
 the de/inite and the indefinite s the partitive being, to all 
 external appearance, though not of the same import, 
 like the variations of the second state of the definite ar- 
 ticle : see the examples of the difierent declensions, from 
 p. 106 to p. 108, inclusive. 
 
 Q. Are these Articles to be placed before all French sub* 
 stantiveSf according to their respective genders and num* 
 bers I 
 
 A. No; for before substantives, in the singularnum- 
 
 ber, beginning with a vowel, or h mute, the final vowel 
 
 of /^ and la is cut off, as I have observed before, p. 101. 
 
 Q. What parts qfspeechy besides the articles^ have gen» 
 
 ders and numbers in French ? 
 
 * A. The substantivesi adjectiveS| and pronouns*

 A IHORT INTHODUCTION 
 
 CHAP. IV. 
 
 Of Substantives in general. 
 
 
 Q. WHAT is a Substantite ? 
 
 A. A substantive is a word that expresses the name of 
 every thing real or imaginary, without the help of any 
 other word to make us understand it; as un homme, a man; 
 HH artge, an angel ; une maiion, a house ; une egliie, a 
 church, i'c. 
 
 Q. How many sorts of Substantives are there ? ^ 
 
 A. Three ; viz. common^ abstract, and proper. 
 
 Q. What are Common Substantives ? 
 
 A. Such as are applicable and common to all rent 
 objects of the same species or kind ; as homrne, man, 
 chevalf hoTse^maison, house, arhret tree, &c. 
 
 Q. And what are the Abstract Substantives ? 
 
 A. Those 'which signify objects that have no other 
 mark of existance but in our minds; as ange, angei, 
 c/tagrin^ grief, esperance, hope, &c. 
 
 Q, What are those that are called Substantives Proper ? 
 
 A. Such as are appropriated to distinguish men, wo- 
 men, places or particular things; as Jean^ John, Mane, 
 Mary, Londres^ London, la Tamise, the Thames, &c. ; for 
 John, is not the name of ev^ry man, nor London^ of every 
 city ; and so forth. 
 
 Q. Is there any grammatical difference hetxsDem the 
 French and English substantives? ^ 
 
 A. French substantives are either of the masculine 
 or feminine gender ; whereas the greatest part of English 
 substantives are neuter, that is of neither gender : such 
 are those that express the name of inanimate things , 
 for we say, le livre, the book ; la table, the table, &c. 
 But substantives which relate to the male sex, as unhonu 
 tne^ a man, &c. ai*e of the masculine gender ; and those

 Q. Bt/ lahat means is the Gender qf French subsiantives 
 expressing inanimate things>to he knamn ? 
 
 A.. By practice in generaF; but for a greater certainty by 
 looking into a French Dictionary foi* it. 
 
 Q. How can practice enable a learner tojind out their re*^ 
 spective genders ^ 
 
 A. By remembering those substantives that admit of 
 le and la or tin and une before them ; for instance, liwe is 
 of the masculine gender, because we can say le livre, or 
 un livre; and table is of the feminine gender, because we 
 may say either la tablcyor une table. 
 
 Q. But how can the gender qf those substantives which 
 begin witka vowel, orhmute^ be, acquired by practiced 
 
 A. By prefixing to them an adjective beginning with a 
 consonant; a&Mn grand ^5/7n/, a greatwit; unegrande dme^. 
 a great soul ; U7i grand honneur, a great honor ; &c. 
 
 Qi What difference i» there betwixt a substantive and an 
 abjective ? 
 
 A. A substantive has no need of being joined to ano« 
 ther word, in order to be well understood ; for we under- 
 stand very well what is meant by bookj tablcyhousey &c.; but 
 an adjective has,, or- is supposed to have, a substantive to . 
 which it relates, and without which it cannot be und^r- 
 stood, but when they are joined to substantives; as a great 
 looki a small tableau lofty house^ 8fc, 
 
 Q. What else is there to. be observed with respect to the 
 French substantives? 
 
 A. The manner offbrmingjtheir plural number, which 
 is commonly done by the addition of an « to the termina- 
 tion of their singular^;- aiid the way of declining them,, 
 that is,.of using^ the different variations of the articles, 
 before them, as in^ the following examples : 
 
 * There are^ however, several French sulistantives that deviate 
 from this rule; asmaybe seenin TA« PraeHeai French Qrttmmart

 J-Ua- 
 
 Of Adjectives in general. 
 
 ii,Q. WHAT is an Adjective r ' ,; 
 
 i A. It is a word that expresses the quality or condU 
 tion of a subtsantive, but has of itself no precise or de- 
 terminate meaning, ssboti^ g6od;mauvaiSfhsLd;grandf 
 great; petitf small; &c. 
 
 Q. How can Adjectives Be distinguiskedfrom substdnthes f 
 
 A. Bv adding the word chose (thing) to him ; for those 
 that will admit of that word, and make sense with it, are 
 adjectives; and those that will not, are substantives.; for 
 ^ may say, unc bonne chose^ a^ood thing ; unemauvaise 
 chosCf a bad thing ; une table chose^ a table thing, 4t. 
 
 Q. What grammatical difference is theris between the 
 French and EngHsh Adjectives f 
 
 A. French ac^ectives are, generally speaking, liable tp 
 vary their termmation, in order to agree in gender ani 
 number with their substantives ; I say generdU^ fP^Mng^ 
 because those ending with an e not accented, asjeune^ 
 yonnfy Jacilef easy, &c. ; have their jiiasculiqe and femi- 
 ninelermination alike. 
 
 Q. How do French Adjectives vary their termination 
 with respect to gender and number / 
 
 A. The general rules are to annex an e to them for 
 the feminiqe gender ; and an s for the plural nfimber, as 
 grand makes grande^ for the feminine gender singular ; 
 and grands tnasculine, grandes feminine /or the plural ; 
 as to 4heir irregularities, see the Grammar, p. 64l 
 
 Q, What is meattt by Degrees of Comparison T 
 
 A. As adjectives are made nse of to express the qua^ 
 lities or conditions of substantives, there are expressions 
 called degrees of comparison^ which serve to increase pr 
 diminish those qualities, ^, in oruer to ascertain th^ 
 re^ormparenlduferMmof the objets 6f our discpurse. 
 
#b FiitENCk grammar! 
 
 Ill 
 
 0, Haw many Di'grees of Comparison are there ? 
 
 A. Three, which nre distinguished by the denomina* 
 lions of Positive, Comparative, and Superlative. 
 
 Q. What h the Positive ? 
 
 A. The Pofritive is the adjective in its natural signi- 
 fication, without any regard to the increasing or dimi* 
 nishing of it ;as^ra7/^/, great ; petitiSiha\l;Jbrty str6ng,&c. ; 
 
 Q. What is the Comparative P 
 * ' A. The Comparalrve inceases oi* diminishds the signi- 
 fication of the Positive ; and is formed, iii French, by 
 putting either pfits (more) or moins (less) before the 
 adjective ; as plus grand or moi?is grand, greater or less 
 great ; plus petit or vioins pctit^ smaller or kss small. 
 
 Q. What is the Superlative t 
 
 A. The Superliitive expresses the signification of the 
 adjective in the highest or lowest degree of all ; and is 
 formed in FreiTch, by putting le pfttij fa plus, les plusj (the 
 most,) or le mains, la moins, les moins, (the least,) before 
 the adjectiVS?,- according to the gender arict number of the 
 substantive it relates to ; as in these examples: ?7 est le 
 plus grand, mais le moins fort detous,he is the tallest, but 
 the weakest of all; voire tante est fa plus riche,maisla moins 
 libirale de vos parens, your aunt is the richest, but the 
 lieast liberal of your relations, &c. ^ 
 
 Q. Do all French adjectives fornt their degress of com," 
 parisbn in the same manner ? 
 
 A. No ; for ]the three following adjectives have a Com- 
 parative and Superlative of their own ; viz. 
 
 ii'^ 
 
 iPf 
 
 POSITIVE. 
 
 COMPARATIVE. 
 
 SUPERLATIVE. 
 
 Ban, good meilleur, better 
 Mauvais^ bad pire, worse 
 P^/jV, little moindrefhss 
 
 le meilleur, the best 
 le pire, the worst 
 le moindre the least 
 
 Yet the two last may also be compared with plus and 
 /tf/7/ii5perfixed to their positive; for we frequently 
 gay, plus mauvais,pluspetitiSfc* ^xxtnevtipmbon*

 formujg the oJiice of adjectives. ^ 
 
 Of Hem many sorts iOf.Btenmim are there ? "\ 
 
 A. There are six sorts which are distinguished bjr th^-

 Q, Wmitar^ihc Personal Pronowtsi^ :- 
 
 A* Ti^ey.aKe those which directly denote personi» an<)- 
 are lised instead of their names; as Je I, 7k thoU| «7he, eUe 
 she, for the singular; nous we, vous you or ye, its or efles 
 they, for the iSural. See the Conjugations of Verbs^ 
 whidi are aimexj^d to Chap. vi. p. 118. j. 
 
 Q. What are the Conjunctive Pronouns ? 
 
 A. The Conjunctive Pronouns are also used instead ' 
 of the names of persons and things, but differ from the per* 
 sonalpronoun^ ifi this respect, that they are eithergovern- 
 ed by verbs, or set after prepositive particles ; as mot or 
 m^ i^e; tqi ofie the^ le^ h, etle, or lui, se, soi^ which may 
 be rendered by himy her, or iV, in the singular; nous us; 
 vous you or ye^eux^ elles, les^ lewy or 5^, for the plural |; 
 according to the sense they imply. 
 
 Q. What are fJie possessive Pronouns ? 
 
 A. They are pconouns which indicate the possession 'of 
 the object before. wHicH they are placed; as, mon livre^ uif 
 )ioak« i^pbtmef thy p^i son chajfeau, hj&hatf. &c.. 
 
to PRENCH ORAM MA R. 
 
 113 
 
 As these pronouns perform the oflice of adjectives, they 
 must likewise ngree, in French, with the genuer and numr 
 ber oi t'le substantive which they precede. 
 
 Q. What are the Absolute Pronofuns f 
 
 A. They are pronouns which also indicate possession, 
 but in an absolute sense, that is to say, without having a 
 substantive annexed to them ; thoitgit they relate to one 
 .tfremfy expressed before. These arer/e«ii«i^ of lamienne^ 
 mine ; le lien or la tienne^ thin^ le nStre pr la nbtrey ours, 
 6(c. — ^They likewise agree, in French,withthe gender and 
 number of the substantive they relate to. 
 
 Q. Are these two last sort always placed among pronouns? 
 
 A. They are so by the generality of grammarians, be- 
 cause they serve as substitutes for conjunctive pronouns ; 
 for instance, when I any yC* est mon livre^ it is my book; c*est 
 le mieny it is mine r these phrases imply, ce livre est dmoi^ 
 this book belongs to me ; 3cfT. 
 
 Q. What are the Demonstrathe Pronouns ? ■ ^ 
 
 A. They are pronouns which serve to point out any 
 person or object whatever ; as ce monsieur^ this or that 
 gentleman ; cet e^rfant^ this or that child; cette maison^ this 
 or that house; ces arlres^ these or those trees ; &c. 
 
 Q. Are the Pronouns ce and cet used indifferently in 
 French? 
 
 A. No ; for ce is only used before a substantive of the 
 masculine gender, beginning with a consonant or h aspi- 
 rated ; and cet before a substantive itiasculine, beginning 
 with a vowt'l or // mute. 
 
 Q. What are the Relative Pronouns ?' 
 
 A. They are pronouns that generally have a relation 
 toa preceding substantive, which is- called, by gramma- 
 rians, the antecedent ; as lemattre qui enseigne^ the mas- 
 ter who teaches ; le livre qnefai achete, the bhok which 
 I have bought; &c. But when they are used for asking 
 questions, they commonly begin a sentence; as, Quivous 
 apelloit ? Who called you? ic^e dites-vous ? What are 
 you saying? &c. These six classes of pronouns are dis- 
 tinctly exhibited in the two following pages, viz.

 • The word cardinal signifies c/ji>/ or principal, and is giron 
 f the first kind of numeral adjectives, because they are the root from 
 which those that are "ullcd die Oi'dinal numbers are derived. It must 
 be observed, that the first consonnntoC ciiif], six, sept, huit,nevf, and 
 dix, are articulated at the end of a phrase, and before a word begin- 
 ning with a vowel ; and that the three cojnpound numbers din-tept,

 Igg* Learners are to obserre — 1st. That the cardinal 
 iiunibres, «», znngft cent, and milli&n, are susceptible of 
 the following additions ; viz. tin makes une, either before 
 or relating to a substantive of the feminine gender : as, 
 wi garfOHy one boy ; uneJiUe, one girl ;fen vois tm or une ; 
 I see one of them ; &c. Vingt makes vingts, when annexed 
 to qimtre or sz>, before a substantive only ; as, quain- 
 vingts garfon, and six-mrrgts hommcs^ but in no other in- 
 s'taiice; for we always write quatie-vingt'deux garfonsy &c. 
 Both cent and million require an s, when used to denote 
 more than one ; as deiw cents^ two hundred, &c. deux 
 millionsy two millions, &c. — 2dly. That the particle ei or 
 t5* is used before the tmity as far as quatrc-vingt (eighty,) 
 :\s in xirgt*ei'U7iy I'verte-et-un, quaranie-et-un^lkc, butn# 
 before the other nuntbers ; and after quatre-xnngtf the 
 conjunctive particle et is not used baibre th« unit.
