I. — Of the Séries as a whole
SCHOOL BOAKD CHKONICLE.—" An admirable plan is followed, by whicli each book becomes the pivot on which the instruction is made to turn. A spécial feature is an appendix of words culled from the text, in progressive order, and designed for -vii/d "voce drill in classes. The utility of such a practice is attested by ail teachers who hâve given it a fair trial. Prcse exercises based on the text are added. If the plan of the ediior is consistently carried ont, the study of each successive work furnishes the student, not only with an enlarged vocabulary, but also with linguistic facility in the use of it. An interesting innovation is the inclusion of ' Volkslieder,' set to music, which certainly introduces an essentiai characteristic of German life. It is tnoreover an expédient which affords one of the most helpfui exercises in memorising, and in acquiring at an earlv stage some ease in the use of the spoken tongue. Maps and genealogical tables are added where required ; and a full vocabulary in the elementary séries."
DUBLIN DAH.Y EXPRESS.—" The advanced German séries which is beinij brought out by Macmillan & Co., imder the gênerai editorship of Mr. Otto Siepmann, reaches, perhaps, the highest standard of critical and literary excellence that has ever been touched in publications of this class. They are much more than school-books, and even good German scholars may be glad to hâve the German classics in éditions prepared with so mucli care and accompanied with an 'apparatus criticus ' containing, in itself, much literary interest."
PUBLISHERS" CI RCULAR.—" The gênerai get-up of the séries deserves spécial mention ; the printing leaves nothing to be desired, and ihe binding is a model of neatness. The séries is a splendid cxample of what can bedone in the way of making a royal road to learning."
VNiyERSnr C0RRESP0NDEN7.— " The texts are interesting, well printcd and bound, and the notes are excellent, and not merely intended to save trouble to teacher and taught. The appendices, four to each volume, are the distinguishing feature of the séries. The first consists of the most important words and phrases occurring in the book. It is meant for i/i-vd voce drill, and cannot fail to rapidly increase the vocabulary of the learner. Thtre are also Ënglish sentences and continuous passages on ihe vocabulary and constructions of the text. Wc are convinced that this mcthod is the only sound one of teaching composition . . . We fcel certain that the proper use of thèse appendices by a compétent teacher will ensure the rapid progress of ihe pupils. We wish al! succoss to the séries, than which there is no better."
GLASGOW HERALD.— "Oi the séries generally we should say that if further contributions to it reach ihe high standard which thei'e volume!» (Sappho, Ztvisclien <ltn Schiachleii) ha.\e sei iiy>, it will be one of the very bc»t ever ottered to the scholastic public."
