Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Theoretical and Practical Grammar of the French Tongue The knowledge of the French Language is indispensable to every person having any pretension to education. It is the language of polite literature, and spoken at all the Courts in Europe. The individual possessed of it can travel through out that continent and make himself understood. In Canada it is more especially necessary to the man of business, who is daily brought in contact with a large population whose language is French. Desirous of rendering more easy the acquirement of this language, we lay before the Canadian public an edition of Levizac's French Grammar. The high reputation oflevizac as a Grammarian, both in England and in France, Where he is quoted as an authority, and the excellence of his method, give his wo'rk the preference over all others. Advantage has been taken of such improvements as have taken place in the order of arrangement so as to fa cilitate the learner. The French Academy has been con sulted on the orthography in which many difficulties have been removed. The sound is now in a great measure the guide to the pronunciation, especially in words ending in ais, ois, as Anglais, Danois, paraitre, croitre, and the learner can adopt it as a rule of pronunciation. It has also been deemed necessary by that learned body, in order to maintain the derivation that words ending in (mt, em, should have their plural formed by the addition of an 3 without dropping the t as practiced by Some writers. Great pains have been taken to prevent the beginner from falling into idiomatic errors, whenever the two languages clash in their construction. A very ample table or contents is given, which the' learner cannot too well make himself acquainted with, as it is of great moment that he should not only know what the Book contains but where it is to be found.
