Whatever may be the eject of our feeble etc-tions, we shall always endeavour to encourage any exertion which may tend to the purity of the morals, the elevation of the character, or the accomplishment of the minds of our fellow citizens; nor are we deterred from a strong recommendation of the study of the French tongue, by the celebrity of the selfish observation, that the universality of the French language would prepare the way for the universality of the French empire. So long as the citizens of the United States preserve American hearts.
