Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpts from the Introduction. A WORD of excuse may seem needed for adding another book on German composition to the large number already in existence. But we feel that the many such books issued during the last few years have all neglected to provide for one large class of students and one real need of language work. There are many excellent books dealing with what the Germans call Realien, or the facts and words of every-day life, but there are very few which give an advanced student the vocabulary necessary for the study of literature and literary criticism; there are various books for giving practice in the elementary rules and forms of German, there are practically none which deal systematically with more advanced German syntax. Now composition work based on Realien finds its proper place in the work of the first and second years, when the main object of instruction is to familiarize the pupil with the simple vocabulary of every-day conversation and the elementary forms of the language, but as soon as the study of the literature is begun, a different and wider vocabulary is needed. As all students of German, except in purely business courses, look forward to some study of the literature as one of the chief reasons for learning the language, there should be room for a book especially adapted to their needs. The most valuable feature of this book is probably the series of exercises on German syntax which form the first part. These exercises are the result of an unsuccessful effort to find something to meet the needs of the authors' own classes at Vassar College. After the elementary study of the grammar, and of the simple exercises which accompany it, has been followed by some translation of simple English into German, and perhaps by some practice in freie Reproduktion, the student needs a thorough review of the principles of grammar and syntax and an opportunity for acquiring proficiency in more difficult constructions. Most of the larger grammars are provided with exercises intended to afford such opportunity, but these exercises consist generally of disconnected sentences, each illustrating one rule or construction, but without any effort to connect these sentences into a whole, or to build up vocabulary systematically - an aim of which the teacher of languages should never lose sight. Being unable to find what we wanted for such work with our own classes, we wrote this series of exercises, which have borne the test of two years' use in the class-room, and have proved to be thoroughly satisfactory. Each group of rules is taken up separately, and for each a specially prepared German model text is given, which illustrates the rules to be studied. On this text the English exercise is based. Each part of the exercise, German and English, forms in itself a consecutive whole, treating a subject of interest and value to the student. In each exercise the vocabulary is carefully planned to introduce new and valuable words and expressions, while fixing in the memory, by frequent repetition, those which have been given in the preceding lessons.... The second part consists of selections for translations from English into German, which are graded in difficulty. The subject-matter is also for the most part literary, and gives opportunity to use and enlarge the vocabulary already acquired. In some of the passages selected an occasional word or phrase has been altered (with the permission of the author), for the purpose of facilitating translation into German.... The third part contains suggestions for simple themes or papers in German based on such dramas and poems as are usually read in our schools and colleges. The first series consists of questions which may be answered in short themes of two or three pages; the second series gives suggestions for longer essays....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Material for Exercises in German Composition: With a Carefully Arranged English-German Vocabulary In preparing this little book, the following principles have been my guide. The grammatical introduction is intended merely to supplement any grammar that may be in use in our schools and colleges. My own classes have had these notes and, because of their appreciation of them, they are now given to the public in the hope that they will find a welcome. In the introduction to the select vocabulary, p. 17, the importance of getting a working vocabulary as soon as possible has been emphasized. In the main vocabulary, which consists of some 2000 entries, great care has been taken to give students a fair knowledge of synonyms. It is just possible that brevity has been considered at the expense of clearness. Pains has been taken to indicate the government of verbs taking the genitive and dative, and where nouns, adjectives and verbs require a preposition to complete their sense, this has been indicated, and when there might be any doubt, the case governed. This has been a very exacting piece of work, and as there may be omissions and errors any corrections or suggestions will be thankfully received. The exercises of Part I. are a departure from the usual exercises in grammar. Too often these consist of a lot of sentences, made up of unusual words and idioms, to be found in every grammar of every language and absolutely without interest to any one, dead material. My object in constructing these exercises was to use the everyday living language which all students would feel was likely to be useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Composition: With a Review of Grammar and Syntax and With Notes and a Vocabulary The students for whom this little book has been compiled are supposed to have a fair knowledge of the grammar of German language. They should have done in addition at least one half year's reading and translating from the German into the English. This book is intended to provide well-graded selections for translating English into German. No pretense is made that the exercises are of a high literary value. Good literature is usually much too difficult for students at this stage of advance; they are still in the realm of drudgery and therefore more or less incapable of enjoying literary excellence. In addition to the exercises contained in the book, students should be asked to write letters and compositions on original subjects, such as "My Autobiography; A Picnic; My Christmas Vacation; etc." The notes and vocabulary which are added are merely suggestive. They can not and ought not take the place of a grammar and a dictionary. The last selection in the book, entitled Leberecht Huhnchen, translated from the German of H. Seidel by Miss Anna Knight, appeared in the Outlook and is here reproduced (with notes added) by special permission, for which the compilers hearty thanks are hereby expressed.
