Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Grammar of the French Tongue: With a Preface Containing an Essay on the Proper Method of Teaching and Learning That Language
Another advantage that youth and illiterate people will reap from it is, that in learning French, they will at the same time learn the art of speaking, the reason of the words they utter, the economy of all languages. Therefore after a succinct, but clear and exact analysis of the analogy and foundations of languages, prefixed by Lway Of introduction, I give in'the sequel true and perfect notions of the Parts Of Speech, and other Grammatical terms used in the work: and both the division Of the work, and definitions used in it, will be found grounded in the nature Of things, and formed after the most exact rules of Logic. This (though the young learner need not at first trouble himself with it) seemed to me the more necessary, as there is no treatise on Grammar fit for youth and illiterate persons; all the English, as well as the Latin and French Grammars, used in schools, being quite defective in that respect, and the definitions in them, for the most part, false, though generally used by Grammarians.
