Sinopsis

Excerpt from A Compendious German Grammar

The author of a new German grammar, in a community where so many are already in use, and with so much approval, may well feel called upon to explain and defend his undertaking - especially, when his work is almost entirely wanting in those practical exercises, for writing and speaking, which make the principal part of the other grammars now most in use.

That. System of instruction in modern languages of which the Ollendorff grammars are popularly regarded as the type, has its unquestionable advantages where learning to speak is the main object directly aimed at, and where the smallness of the classes, and the time Spent. With the instructor, render it possible for the latter to give each pupil that amount of personal attention and drilling which is needed in order to make the system yield its best results.

Excerpt from A Compendious German Grammar

The Notes and Vocabulary will be unprecedentedly full - occupying about the same space as the text.

The Notes will give the needed general notices and explanations, and will unravel the difficulties of expression in such a way as to make the student understand the idioms and their origin.

The Vocabulary will be especially full and complete, endeavoring to do for the learner more than is undertaken by the current dictionaries, in the way of exhibiting,

I. - The Derivations of Words and of Their Meanings.

II. - The Correspondences Between the German and English Languages.

The announcement of the works of Professor Whitney, above described, has been hailed with great satisfaction by all educators to whose attention the facts have been informally brought. So great is the confidence in Professor Whitney's transcendent abilities, that on the catalogue of such an institution as the University of Michigan, one of these works was named as the text-book before the Faculty had seen a line of it. The unvarying comment of those Professors who have been told that the books are in press, has been: "Of course we shall use them."

The Grammar will appear in time for the Fall Term of 1869.

The text of the Reader is now nearly all stereotyped; but the Notes and Vocabulary, which will be different from anything hitherto attempted, will require so much labor that it is doubtful whether anything more than the text can be issued during the present year.
