SYSTEM OF LANGUAGES. 
THE ABBE BOSSUT, with a view to facilitate the 
Study if Languages, has compiled, agreeal-ly to new prin- 
ciples, illustrated in the Introductions to the 'Worhs n teries 
of Simple Elementary Books, divested of Pedantry and 
Intricacy, whose olject it is to teach Foreign Tomru'es by 
Ike same means by ‘which Children acquire their FePnaculdr 
Tongues. He considers WORDS as the Body, or tangiblr 
Substance, of a Language; he begins, therefore, by 
teaching WORDS: and he considers IDIOMS as the 
GENIUS and spirit of a Language therefore, after teach- 
ing bVbrds, he teaches the Idiomatic Phraseology. The 
Student is thus qualified tt> translate from the Language, 
und to compose in it, by means of any Books of Exercise.'i, 
or any elaborated sysh-ms of Syntax. An Adult may not 
only by this system, effectually learn a Language in halp 
the usual time ; but it is almost the only means by which 
a Language can be taught to Children, who have ordinary 
■powers oj memory to retain Words and Phrases, with small 
powers of Judgment, by which to comprehend grammatical 
rules and syntactical distinctions.
