 ill There are at the end of this Grammar *' Six Lessons intended to 

 ,j prevent Statesnien from using false grammar : " and I really wish 

 1 1 Chat our statesmen would attend to the instructions of the whole 

 {'I oook. Thousands upon thousands of young- men have been made 

 t correct writers by it ; and, it is next to impossible that they should 

 1 have read with attention without its producing such effect. It is a 

 , book of principles, clearly laid down ; and when once these are 

 got into the mind they never quit it. More than 100,000 of this 

 I' work have been sold. — W. C.

4| COBBETT'S FRENCH GRAMMAR {Price 5^.) ; or. Plain 

 Instructions for the Learning of French. — This book has had, and 



|| has, a very great effect in the producing of its object. More young 



! men have, 1 dare say, learned French froni it, than from all the 

 j j other books that have been published in English for the last fifty 



'! years. It is, like the former, a book of principles, clearly laid 

 I down. I had this great advantage, too, that I had learnt French 

 without amaster. 1 had grubbed it out, bit by bit, and knew well 

 ^ how to remove all the dijficulties 1 remembered what it was that 

 L had puzzled and retarded me ; and I have taken care, in this my 

 J Grammar, to prevent the reader from experiencing that which, in 

 J this respect, I experienced myself. This Grammar, as well as the 

 [, former, is kept out of schools, owing to the fear that the masters 

 . and mistresses have of being looked upon as Cobbettites. So 



; much the worse lor the children of the stupid brutes who are the 

 cause oi this fear, which sensible people laugh at, and avail them- 

 If selves of the advantages tendered to them in the books, leaching 

 \^ French in English Schools is, generally, a mere delusion ; and as 

 y to teaching the pronunciation by rules, it is the grossest of all 

 J human absurdities. My knowledge of French was so complete 

 ^ thirty -seven years ago, that the very first thing in the shape of a 

 L book that I wrote for the press, ^ was a Grammar to teach French- 

 men English ; and of course it was written in French. 1 must 



J know all about these two languages; and must be able to give 

 I advice to young people on the subject : their tiine is precious ; and 

 I, 1 advise them not to waste it upon what are called lessons from 

 L masters and mistresses. To learn the pronunciation, there is no 

 j.1 way but that of hearing those, and speaking with those, who 

 ,[,1 speak the language well. My Grammar will do the rest. — W. C.
