policemen," must be extremely disagreeable objects, and we are glad to
learn that they are nearly extinct. Here we are much worse off. Rowdy
characters, that may well be compared to "hogs," but are not often to
be seen "between policemen," are far too plentiful in New-York, and the
sooner they are "exterminated" the better.

_The two great objects of a learner's ambition ought to be to speak a
foreign language idiomatically, and to pronounce it correctly; and these
are the objects which are most carefully provided for in the_ MASTERY
SYSTEM.
The Mastery of Languages;
OR,
THE ART OF SPEAKING LANGUAGES IDIOMATICALLY.
BY THOMAS PRENDERGAST,
_ I. Hand-Book of the Mastery Series. II. The Mastery Series. French.
III. The Mastery Series. German. IV. The Mastery Series. Spanish._
PRICE 50 CENTS EACH.
_From Professor E.M. Gallaudet, of the National Deaf Mute College._
"The results which crowned the labor of the first week were so
astonishing that he fears to detail them fully, lest doubts should be
raised as to his credibility. But this much he does not hesitate to
claim, that, after a study of less than two weeks, he was able to
sustain conversation in the newly-acquired language a great variety of
subjects."
FROM THE ENGLISH PRESS.
"The principle may be explained in a line--it is first learning the
language, and then studying the grammar, and then learning (or trying to
learn) the language."--_Morning Star_.
"We know that there are some who have given Mr. Prendergast's plan a
trial, and discovered that in a few weeks its results had surpassed all
their expectations."--_Record_.
"A week's patient trial of the French Manual has convinced us that the
method is sound."--_Papers for the Schoolmaster_.
"The simplicity and naturalness of the system are obvious."--_Herald_
(Birmingham.)
"We know of no other plan which will infallibly lead to the result in a
reasonable time."--_Norfolk News_.
FROM THE AMERICAN PRESS.
"The system is as near as can be to the one in which a child learns to
talk."--_Troy Whig_.
"We would advise all who are about to begin the study of languages to
give it a trial."--_Rochester Democrat_.
"For European travellers this volume is invaluable."--_Worcester Spy_.
Either of the above volumes sent by mail free to any part of the United
States on receipt of price.
