“ OLLENDORFF’S new method LA Learning to Read, Write, and Sj the German Lan.

e, with a systematic outline of German Grammar, by George J. Adler, is one of those rare

works which leave nothing to be desired on the subjects of which they treat. The learner’s dif-

ficulues are so fully and exactly provided for, that a constant sense of satisfaction and progress

is felt from the beginning to the end of the book. A bare inspection of one of the lessons will

satisfy any one acquainted with the elements of German grammar, that it adapts itself perfectly

to his wants. With the systematic outline of grammar by Prof. Adler, the new method is sub-

stanually perfect, and it is probably second in its advantages only to residence and intercourse with educated Germans.”

“ The study of the German is becoming so essential a part of an ordinary education, that every work tending to facilitate the acquisition of the language should be welcomed. An American edition of Ollendorff has been much wanted. His system is based upon natural principles. He teaches by leading the student to the acquisition of phrases, from which he deduces the rules of the language. The idioms are also carefully taught, and the entire construction of the system is such that, if adhered to with fidelity and perseverance, it will secure such a practical knowledge of the German as can be acquired by no other mode, so rapidly and thoroughly. We heartily commend the book to all who really wish to understand a tongue which contains so many treasures.
