4 Practical Grammar Of tie German Language,
by Hermann ID. WRAGE, A. NJ. ID. Appleton & Coz The
title Of this German manual does not correctly nd
the nature OF its contents II is not grammar in
any of the wordbut mainly collection Of reading
lessons, with vocabulary at the end of each lesson
the form OF foonotes and exercises for translation
from English into German The author adopts the sound
principle that the details of grammar should be post
pOned, until the learner has become acquainted with
the rudiments Of the language from familiar practice,
and accordingly makes reference 10 grammatical rules
except in the meager outline which he has thrown
into an appendix. But lhe has pushed the
method to all extreme length by combining the
pupil 10 series Of exercises that to be
learned by rote with no subsequent statement OF the
general principles of infection and construction In the
hands of skful teacher, the book may be turned to
good account but as manual for self-instrucon by
pupils who wish to gain a Sufficient knowledge of the
clements Of the language enable them TO read lie lit
eraure the treatment is too to prove OF essen
tial service Many important details are omitted, and
in repeated instances especially in the vocabulary the
student either left in the dark upon the
track Thus specimens given In the beginning of the
book of the German handwriting but without any alpha
bet Of the letters except the capitals aOrdng no aid 70
the pupil in deciphering the mysterious char
acters. In the vocabulary attached to the ex-
ercises, we have the German for al have
seen" rendered by 81 have sac" up. &c. So Many pc
fnior German idioms which take entirely different
form in English given in the corresponding phrase in
orr Language ae " x were literal translation, afiOrding
the learner the meaning of the separate
German words This would be of no consequence II he
were supposed dictionary but as the place of the
dictionary supplied by the vocabulary the method OF
giving one idom for another is misleading. The doubt
fnl English forms, like "beng done, being built" are
freely used in the exercises without hint OF their IN
correctness On the other hand the specimens Of Ger
man prose which given reading lessons are usually
appropriate presenting good examples OF many, though
not OF all the idomatc constructions OF the language,
and in our opinion form the principal valuable feature in
the manual.
