Synopsis
Introductory Lecture On The French Language by Charles Jean Delille. This 1852 lecture, delivered at the City of London College for Ladies, surveys the role of French in education and the enduring influence of Latin on the language. Delille argues that French serves as a universal medium of communication and a key to social advancement, tracing the language’s development from Romano-Gallic origins through the medieval and early modern periods. He discusses the Latin foundation of French vocabulary and grammar, the impact of the Roman and Charlemagne eras, and the blending of Latin with Germanic, Celtic, and Greek elements. The text compares classical and romantic trends in French literature, from Pascal and La Fontaine to Chateaubriand and Victor Hugo, and explains how modern French differs from its predecessors. It also presents pedagogy for teaching living languages, emphasizes elocution and sound education, and advocates a curriculum integrating language with literature and moral instruction.
