Excerpt from The Serial and Oral Method of Teaching Languages: Adapted to the French Third, To impress the elements upon the mind, as many of the Senses and the intellectual Faculties as can he enlisted in the work, are em loyed; the whole burthen of acquisition is not thrown, as in the o d grammar systems, upon the memory alone, which, becom ing overtasked, cannot perform the oflice required of it. The Serial and Oral Method, to impress the elements of language on the mind, makes use, First, of three out of five of the Senses: it makes use of Hun mo in the Oral Exercises; of sight in the reading exercises, and of sight and touch combined, in the written exercises. The writing of phrases, - which employs the sense of Touch as well as that of Sight, and which concentrates attention strongly is one of the most efiicient means of impressing on the memory. As the other two Senses cannot be emp oyed in the study of language, all the material avenues to the mind, which can he enlisted in this work, are resorted to by the present Method.
