Synopsis

Excerpt from A Self-Teaching Reader, for the Study of the Pronunciation of the French Language: After a Plan Entirely New; Which Will Enable the American or English Student to Acquire With Facility a Correct Pronunciation, With or Without the Assistance of a Teacher

Tms work, the second edition of which we present to the public, speaks for itself, and requires no commentary on our part. It is founded on the principle of mnemonics, which consists in comparing a fact which we wish to remember with another already present to our mind. It has none of the faults so justly imputed to that system which, in order to represent the sounds of a language, uses the letters of another,-a sys tem condemned by most grammarians, as having a tendency to impress upon the memory of the student a wrong spelling of the language which he is desirous to acquire. Although, as we admit, it is impossible to find in the English and French languages two sounds exactly similar, yet no one can deny that there is a strong ogy between most of them, which may give an idea of what the sound should be. If the pupil has the assistance of a teacher, the task of the latter will thus be greatly diminished; and if he studies alone, he will have a guide, which, if not perfect, will enable him to go not blindfold in the numerous paths of this intricate labyrinth.

Our own experience since we have used this work, and the rapid sale of its first edition, tell us of its advantages; and we feel confident that the public will more and more ascertain, that, in preparing this work, we have done something useful, however daring the attempt may be considered.
