Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of German The choice of a beginners' book for the study of a modern foreign language must depend upon a number of considerations, such as the age and previous training of the pupils, the method to be pursued, and the immediate object to be attained. With the conditions under which the study of German is pursued in most schools of this country, there seems to be little doubt that, instead of a systematic grammar, a rather comprehensive lesson book, arranged in a pedagogical manner, and furnished with plenty of interesting material for reading, translation, and con versation furnishes the best preparation for the further study of the language. Acting on this conviction, the authors of the present volume have endeavored to meet this demand by publish ing their Brief German C ourse, and, judging from the favorable reception which the book has met in various sections of the country, the authors feel that their views laid down in that book have been fully indorsed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Germany: A Documentary Account Revealing the Causes of Her Strength, Wealth and Efficiency It is no doubt possible to combine the advantages of democratic with those of autocratic government, liberty with efficiency, order, and economy. Democracy need not, and should not, be synonymous with disorganisation, instability, amateurishness, drift, muddle, waste, improvi dence, and unpreparedness for war. The present war has revealed the weakness of Democracy. The views of the greatest German rulers and statesmen collected in this volume may indicate the cure. The experience of the present war may cause Germany to become more democratic and may cause the anglo-saxon democracies to become better organised. The views of Frederick the Great on the defects of democracy and of Cabinet Government should be particularly interesting at the present moment. The first three chapters have previously been published in The Nineteenth Century and After. The fourth chap ter has appeared in The Contemporary Review. Chapters VI, VII, and VIII have appeared in The Fortnightly Review. Chapters V, IX, X, XI, XII, and XIII are entirely new. I would herewith sincerely thank the Editors of the periodicals named for their permission to reprint these articles. They have been very widely commented upon, and have been republished not only in the British Dominions, in the United States, France, Russia, and Roumania, but even in China. I would, however, draw attention to the fact that these articles have not merely been reprinted, but that they have been very greatly expanded, and that they have provided only the nuclei of the chapters indicated.

Download or read book Bismarck written by James Wycliffe Headlam and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bismarck: And the Foundation of the German Empire During this period, two works have appeared to which some reference is necessary. The value of Busch's Memoirs has been much exaggerated; ex cept for quite the last years of Bismarck's life they contain little new information which is of any im portance. Not only had a large portion of the book already been published in Busch's two earlier books, but many of the anecdotes and documents in those parts which were new had also been published elsewhere. Bismarck's own Memoirs have a very different value: not so much because of the new facts which they record, but because of the light they throw on Bismarck's character and on the attitude he adopted towards men and political problems. With his letters and speeches, they will always remain the chief source for our knowledge of his inner life.

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Empire of to-Day Outlines of Its Foundation and Development The great men who laid its foundations have passed away, leaving their footprints on the sands of time. King William of Prussia, the first German Emperor, was crowned at Versailles, just before the termination of the war with France, in the presence of a brilliant assembly of German princes. He enjoyed a peaceful yet glorious reign of twenty years, during which he saw his dominions expand to unexpected dimensions. Bismarck, Moltke, von Roon, and the others have come and gone: they were Empire-makers of a stamp not easily to be found again. Fortunate it was for the German people that they were there at hand during the years when the country required just such men and the abilities that they so markedly possessed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Language: Outlines of Its Development Language teachers recognize the injustice and prejudice in such condemnation. At the same time, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that more and more the study Of foreign languages is pursued not for its own inherent value, but for ulterior purposes, however legitimate they may be. I have long had the conviction that for the loss of pres tige suffered by language study during the last twenty years, the profession is not altogether without blame. In trying to meet the popular clamor for practical results, Often enough coming from sources whence it should be least expected, we have allowed our work to grow more or less superficial, giving more attention to a favorable appearance, to entertainment of the learner than to serious study with its sure and lasting reward. The best, if not the only way in which we may rehabilitate ourselves in the esteem of seriously minded students, is by laying surer and deeper foundations for our work. In this book I meant to put my efforts in this direction at the service Of all teachers and students who are interested in gaining an intelligent understanding of linguistic processes as they manifest themselves in the German language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ollendorff's New Method of Learning to Read, Write, and Speak the German Language: To Which Is Added a Systematic Outline of German Grammer The book, as it is now presented to the public, is from the Frankfort edition, which, in accuracy of expression; as far as the 'english is concerned: in the wording of the rules as well as in typographical arrangement, is so far superior to the llon don edition, that it seems to be the work of a different author. So striking was found to be the difference between the two edi tions that the Editor, who at first was not in possession of a German copy, and had already put into the hands of the printer a considerable portioii of the London Copy revised, deemed it afterwards his duty to recommence the stereotyping of the book on the basis of the German.

Download or read book Phonetics of the New High German Language Classic Reprint written by Arwid Johannson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phonetics of the New High German Language The position in which these organs are in quiet and regular breathing, wherewith no speaking can take place, is called the position of indifference (indifferenzlage). This position can also be termed organic basis (artikulationsbasis), because it forms the natural foundation for the different arti culations of the apparatus of speech. With the German or ganie basis the tongue is not so much lowered, retracted, and flattened as with the English organic basis; nor is in the former case the tongue hollowed in front. Whilst with the English the lips remain fairly inactive and are only slightly rounded, the Germans have an inclination to round them considerably and to pout them. On these fundamental differences between the German and the English organic bases chiefly depend the differences between the German and the English sounds, especially vowels; cf. 23 note 2. 37 note 2. 40 note. 43 note. 63 note 2. 67 note.

Download or read book A Handbook of German Literature Classic Reprint written by Mary Elizabeth Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of German Literature The object of this little work is to supply a want, which the writer believes to be felt by many teachers and learners of German in our schools, by placing in the hands of the pupil a text-book which may form the basis of lessons, and furnish a useful introduction to the study of German Literature. In treating a subject of such scope within the narrow limits which the writer has permitted herself, it has been found obligatory to allot a few words only to many authors, who may, with advantage, be studied at greater length at a later period. No attempt has been made to deal with many of the less important modem writers, and the effort throughout has been to bring the greatest into greatest prominence, as the most fruitful and effective beginning of all study. This is the reason of the space - large in so small a book - allotted to Goethe and Schiller and their immortal works. A synopsis of great works has in all cases been given, and criticism not wholly disregarded, so that a bald list of names and dates alone may not be placed before the learner.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Vol. 18: Masterpieces of German Literature Hauptmann's interpretation and criticism of life, how ever, \although so constantly shaped by the prevalent intel lectual currents of his age, have never been argumentative or direct. In that respect they have differed notably from the interpretation and criticism of other contemporary dra matists. Thus M. Paul Hervieu, for instance, began his career by a brief series of telling arguments against the legal status of woman; he has recently used the stage in defense of the secular institutions of the social order. Brieux has never written a play but to attack some evil, unveil some hypocrisy, or scourge some definite injustice. Shaw has attempted to undermine the emotional bases of our civilization, and Galsworthy is devoting his admirable dramatic gift to the service of various causes. Haupt mann has had the larger, and surely the wiser vision; for all these evils are but accidental and transitory elements in the life of historic man. Man remains. And thus Haupt mann, abandoning more and more the brief social ardor of his youth, has fixed his eye primarily upon humanity amid conditions and conflicts which, however exactly defined in time and space, partake, by their very nature, of the recur rent and the enduring.
