Our Book TABLE.-Manual of the
German Language, by W. Grauert. A.
M. New York: E. Steiger. 1869, This
book, sent to us by the publishers, we
cordially recommend to every student of
German. We cannot better state the
scope of the book than by giving the fol-
lowing extract from the preface:
'The author of this Manual of the
German Language has endeavored to
avoid the defects Of both the sympathetic
and the purely analytic methods, by on
organic development of the forms of
words and sentences in German, and to
offer within small compass, large, care
fully selected and practically available
material for study and reflection. Each
man exercises offer progressive course
of the most important words and sen-
tences, both ornomatically and grammati-
cally. The analysis following them is
explanatory of those forms, and the Eng
lish exercises afford material for applying
them, 4. e., for writing and speaking
German"
Aims German Handwriting. New
York: E. Steiger, 1869. This is tho first
attempt, as far as we know, of any publ
cation in this country specially devoted
to the German written character. The
pieces are we'll selected, and the 'script, :"
as the printers call the written character
when it gets into type, is clear and legi
ble, i. e., of course with German spec.
tacles. Persons desirous of acquainting
themselves with German manuscripts
should send for the pamphlet.
L. B. Peterson & Brothers have just
issued, from the manuscript and ad-
vanced proof sheets purchased from Mrs.
Wood, t'Roland Yorke;" a sequel to ''The
Channings." 1t will be read with inte-
rest by all who delight in the marvellous
ly and ingeniously constructed plots
which are Characteristic of this authoress'
writings. Mrs. Wood has marvellous
faculty of charming her readers with the
skill with which she puts her characters
on the stage, of multiplying her plots, of
sustaining her dialogues, and of intensi-
flying all her minor incidents. Roland
Yorke will not be laid aside without
eager perusal to the end, for the reader
will be constantly led aside into new
avenues and lanes, with such enchanting
views and scenery, that he never wearies
of the path;ithere are so many new faces
among the minor actors, and such q
magic interest thrown around all they
say and do, that his delectation is COM
plete, and his interest never flags for a
moment. 1t is remarkably we'll printed,
in large type and on fine paper, octave
form, in uniform, style with "The Chan
nings." Price $1.50.
