Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Grammar of the French Tongue: Grounded Upon the Decisions of the French Academy, Wherein All the Necessary Rules, Observations, and Examples, Are Exhibited in a Manner Entirely New
Gums is universally allowed to be an object of extensin utility as the foundation of the Arts and Sciences, and a key to language in general. An excellent production of this kind was the first work of the late french academy, who spared no pains to polish and improve their native language, and advance it, as near as possible, to a state of purity and perfection.
I am not insensible that several authors consider it as an essential part of the prefaces to their respective works, to re present their own performances in the brightest colours, and treat those of others with the greatest severity; but I rather choose to give, on this occasion, a short analytical account of the present undertaking, and then humbly submit the whole to the candid and impartial opinion of the public.
