Excerpt from A French Grammar, or Plain Instructions for the Learning of French: In a Series of Letters L. Barons we set about learning any thing, be it what it may, it is right that we ascertain the thing to be such as is likely to be useful to us; it is but reasonable that the usefulness should, in point of magnitude, bear a just proportion to the expense, whether of money or of time, demanded by the task which we are going to encounter. If I did not think the French language a thing of this character, I certainly should not wish you to learn it. But a very little reflection will convince you, that it is a branch of learning, which, in the present age, stands, in the scale of importance, next after that of our native language.
