Présentation de l'éditeur
In an elementary book like the present it is, of course, impossible even to state all the phenomena of soimd-change peculiar to theO ld High-G erman language as a whole, especially when one attempts to make a discrimination between the Upper German and Upper Franconian dialects. I have, however, endeavoured to bring within a comparatively small compass all the really more important features of the language, and fully believe that the beginner who conscientiously works through the book, will have acquired such a sound elementary knowledge of the language as will enable him to pursue his further study of German with little difficulty, whether from a literary or a purely linguistic point of view. In the MHG. primer many forms were left unexplained which beginners would, no doubt, like to have seen explained. There I mentioned such OHG. forms only as were absolutely necessary for the understanding of the A ccidence, intentionally reserving the rest for the present little book. In fact, MHG. grammar will cause little or no difficulty to a student possessing a mere elementary knowledge of OHG.
