| _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 on 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 |
| me that the method is sound."--_Papers for the |
| Schoolmaster_. |
