Cloth N.B.-This work is quite distinct from any of the Ahn Methods or other "In the preface to his Grammar the Compiler tells us that he has embodied the plan which his practice as a teacher has convinced him is the best. Thus, instead of starting off with the declensions of nouns and adjectives, and the many difficulties which they present, and requiring the pupil to master a long list of exceptions, which is enough to disgust him with the language for ever, Dr. Meissner introduces him at once to the simple tenses of the auxiliary verbs. The extracts for translation and conversation are also arranged on a definite and intelligent system. Instead of being mere collections of words strung together with utter disregard of sense, or at the best vulgar and hackneyed anecdotes, these exercises are extracts chosen from modern German authors, with a view to imparting some information about Germany and the Germans. The type is clear and legible, a great improvement on the old style of German school book."-Saturday Review. 3 6 The Key (For Teachers only). Cloth net 3 0 2 0 5 The Public School German Grammar.

First comes a series of grammatical rules both in accidence and syntax which are to be committed to memory. These are followed by a large number of short but continuous passages for translation into German. The notes at the end of each of these passages are precisely what the young pupil requires. There is also, at the end of each part, a well-selected collection of grammatical questions to be answered in writing. The Seniors' Part contains no special sections in grammar, the passages for translation are longer and more diffi cult, and the notes are fewer in number. The fourth part of the book deals with the writing of letters in German, and is arranged under two separate heads: Familiar and Formal Correspondence.

We have not met with a better book of the kind, nor even one so good.. We have read page by page, compared the German on the one side with the translation on the other, put to ourselves the questions and answers, as though we were learning German again as one of Dr. Meissner's students. The task has been a most agreeable one. All who take an interest in German will do well to make acquaintance with the work. They will find it instructive and valuable not merely for the German exercises, which are so arranged as to form a lesson for each day, but for the knowledge it contains of German towns, railways, steamboats, theatres, newspapers, besides having an excellent collection of anecdotes, which are pleasant reading and inform the reader of many subjects which he will do well to remember....
