Excerpt from Hints on Language as a Means of Mental Discipline and on the Importance of the Study of Modern Languages

When we consider the facilities offered in the Metropolis for the study of foreign languages at a trifling cost, and the facilities offered by the Athenaeums and literary institutions of nearly every town of the provinces, the question naturally occurs to us, why such a state of things should exist. If, however, we consider the mode in which education is conducted in this country, the absolute discouragement which is shown to the study of the Continental languages in our schools and seminaries of learning, an answer to the question will not be difficult to find.
