Elements Of German

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Elements of German Grammar The method of using the book is too plain to require long explanation; and the principal steps of general method are given under How to learn a foreign language. The grammatical part will be found to contain all that is needed for a class of beginners, and no time need be wasted in dictating grammar notes. The amount of grammar practice must be left to the teacher, who will do well to refer to the matter given as frequently as possible. Certainly instruction in German is a waste of time without some solid knowledge of grammar, unless the object is merely to acquire a small stock of conversational phrases. The answers to the questions are easy to find; and as there are over eight hundred of them, the teacher and the student are at liberty to select the easiest for a first semester, adding the rest when repeating, and supplementing them by as many more as may be feasible. In many cases the answers, when put together, will be found to form a tolerable composition on the subject of the questionaire.
