I have indeed seen little wonderful prattlers, who were imagined to talk five or six different languages. I have heard them successively talk in German, in Latin, French, and Italian words. They made use, it is true, of the different terms of 5 or 6 dictionaries; but they spoke nothing but German. In a word, fill a child's head 19* 229 OF LEARNING A LANGUAGE. with as many synonimous terms as you please, you will change his words only, but not his language, for he can know but one. No sooner hav...e they gone through the rudiments of grammar, of which they absolutely understand nothing, than they are set to render a discourse spoken in their native tongue into Latin words; when they are advanced a little far- ther, they are engaged to patch up a theme in prose, by tacking together the phrases of Cicero, and in verse with centos from Virgil. They then begin to think themselves capable of talking Latin. And who is there to contradict them? [Rousseau, b. 2. ] To LEARN A LANGUAGE grammatically, or even to speak it, allowing for bad pronunciation, is at any time of life AN EASY ACQUISITION.
