Excerpt from A Practical German Composition

This manual aims at providing a thorough and systematic course of German Prose Composition for the use of Colleges and Schools. A special effort has been made to graduate the material as carefully as possible, and to supply a Lehrmittel that will serve for Intermediate as well as the most advanced classes.

Students who have only mastered a comparatively small part of the German Grammar generally fail in the attempt to render a connected extract into German, especially after translating mere sentences illustrating the grammatical rules. To serve as a stepping-stone, a few preliminary Exercises have been added, forming Part I. Of this book. Similar sentences may easily be composed by the teacher, if found necessary, either on the same lines or by retranslation from an easy reading-book.

Part II. Contains simple anecdotes and narratives for Intermediate students, and Part III. Provides similar material but of a more difficult nature or standard. For advanced students, who are supposed to have a fair idea of idiomatic renderings and an extensive word-stock combined with a tolerable knowledge of Syntax, Parts I V., V., and VI. Contain passages of a descriptive nature and extracts from difficult English authors.
