collection of all words used now in Paris in genteel circles , classed according to their frequency in speech , with numerous examples , pointing the phraseology , and the right application of words in French and English . ' A foreign gentleman * who has a very extensive correspondence
with the newspapers , ( and to whose interesting communications , The Times invariably allures its readers , by prefixing the word ' Advertisement , ' ) announces a Speaking French Grammar , ' which must be even a greater curiosity than the learned Pig . It is , we are certain , the first of its race that ever spoke . The inference that should be drawn from this striking phenomenon , is , that he who can make a book talk , can make a boy learn or do any thing else equally extraordinary .
