Présentation de l'éditeur

The great success with which this book has met wherever German is taught through the medium of English, and the great educational progress which has taken place almost throughout the civilized world, relieve me from the necessity of dilating on several topics which required to be specially pointed out when this book was first issued in 1868. I need no longer dwell on the importance of German as a discipline of the mind, and as a medium of enlightenment and refinement, or on the numerous advantages which a knowledge of the language offers both from a practical and utilitarian point of view. All this is now universally admitted. Nor is it needful to send forth a special plea on the utility, nay, necessity, of translating from our own language into the foreign idiom, if the latter is to be thoroughly mastered. This fact too may now be considered as an axiom. Under these circumstances it seemed to me expedient to omit the bulk of the former Prefaces, and to confine myself, in issuing the present Thirteenth Edition, to a mere description of the book.
