 alike 
 
 \g€8. 
 
 In Frencli there arc two genders, ihe mascu" 
 I line and the feminine. The masculine belongs 
 I ftt the male kind : a:^, un hommef a man ; un 
 lion, a lion, &c. ^ ' 
 
 The feniinine belongs to the female kind : as, 
 unefemme, a woman ; um lionne, a lioness, &c. 
 
 But, through imilation, this distinction has 
 been extended to" all subistantives : ^o un Hvre, 
 J> book, is LTiasouline in French ; une table, a ta- 
 ble, is feminine, &c. 
 
 The gender of the French nouns has aUva* 
 been a source of great difficulty to foreigners,, 
 and especially to those whose native tongue i* 
 ^he English language, vvljich is so simple and easy 
 in that respect. The following pages contain a 
 new method of finding almost instantly, and 
 without the aid of a dictionary, the gender of any 
 French noun used in common discourse. 
 
 The first twenty-two letters of the alphabet 
 (laying aside k and w) have been taken, and a» 
 many nouns have been chosen, begin <iing with 
 One of those letters, to exemplify each one of the 
 rul^s for the masculine gender; and the rules 
 will henceforth be quoted from the names of 
 
 Ihose STANDARD NOUKS. 
 
 I 
 
 
 ll^i^<.'' 
 
--6 - 
 
 Beginning ngain the alphabet, its first eiglit 
 letters are the initials of as many nouns exempli- 
 iying the rules for the feminine gender. Thus bv 
 iiearing, or over-reuding stveVal times these thirty 
 mnemuiiical word.**, a pupil will easily retain them, 
 without l)eing iiiibleto any mistake, nt; the exam- 
 ples for the feminine gender ( the last excepted ) 
 end in a full sound, whilst the standard words. 
 H'ith similar initials fur the masculine gender, end 
 ui a faint sound, uud mostly in an e mute, the la^l 
 only excepted. 
 
 Of ihese thirty rules, fifteen, viz. Jlbel, and thn 
 next eleven, Jignh^ (la St.) Benoit^ and (cfe la) 
 Courtraij, are founded on significatioM, and wo 
 will name ihem ideologic rules j the other fifteen 
 rules, a a, J^itrtty &.c. DureU; &c. are foundfd on 
 lermiriatjon, and wo will name them i.etcic rnles. 
 Of these, the last for each gender, A! YLOJV and 
 HAlEy are the princi|)al or general rnles, and 
 are subordinate to ilie foregoing particular Lexic 
 jules, as the Lexic are to the Ideoh^gic ( wiiich 
 have so {q\v exceptions, that they may almoft ' 
 Reconsidered as definitive rules, ) :ind all thcho 
 rules are subordinate to the li^t of irregulars. 
 
 So oraleur (orator) would b.» feminine, accor» 
 ding to tho rule grandeur, and brebis ( ewe ) 
 would be masculine, according to ruieJ^YLOA, 
 if they were not ovt-r-ruled, oruteur by lulc J^belt 
 and brebis by rule jSgnes. 
 
 Let us prove that it is always the shortest and 
 iure-t way, to^iegin with locking in the list of ex- 
 ceptions, or irregular words, lo proceed after- 
 wards to the particular rules,' and lo erid with the 
 general rules, where we usually begin. You 
 wish to know the gender of contagion ( — ) ; in- 
 cende ( conflitjiation ); erable ( maple); pvpitre 
 (de»>k ); minislere (ministry); mi-carBine ( Mid- 
 \cniyf ambition {—), i

 FirHly, You look for them in the lift of irrt' 
 Jl|;<ihir8 ; and tinJing (here incendie and contagion^ 
 yoii need g > no farther for ihem. According to 
 the common method^ yt>u vvou'd have commen- 
 ced with the general rule, which shows you, that 
 if It were not for particular rules or exception"*, 
 contagion would be mat»cidine, anil incendie fe- 
 minine; »hereft»re you- would h »ve been obliged 
 to peruse the twenty-eight particular rules, and 
 afterwards the list of irri'gulnr?:. 
 
 Secondly. Among other rules, you will findthaf 
 irabh and mi-carimt are subjt ct to the Ideologic, 
 Frtue, and ( la St. ) Renoit ; and, 
 
 Vhirdlij, That pupUrey minislere, ambilion^ 
 follow the analogy of the Lcxic JVilret S-ttte, 
 and ExtraC'tion, 
 
 It is evident, that if yon become perfectly ac- 
 quaintnd with the exceptions contained in the 
 list of irregulars you will bo able, without any 
 hesitation, to give immediately the gender of any 
 proposed noun. Therefore, copy several times 
 thi^ list; affix to etch noun the initial letter of 
 the ru'e to which its gender is cont>ary; then 
 form these irregular nouns in group:*, accordirig 
 to their opposition to the rules liable to excep- 
 tions, which rules will be found to consist of 
 »<eventeen only; since the rules S-icre andJ^x- 
 iraciion have each bitl a sing'e exception. Re- 
 peat the same qx> rcise, by leaving out the nouns, 
 the gender of which you already know; and thus 
 reducing every time this list, you will soon ac'- 
 quire a perfect k<novvled«(e of all the irregulars. 
 
 This little treatise on the genders of the Freneh 
 nouns, is taken, wi'h a few altitrations, from the 
 valuable work entitled, Cours de langue Frari^ 
 i^se, par P. A. Lemare.
