Scottish Leader-"The first part of the book is occupied by parallel passages in English and German, intended to familiarise the student with the points of similarity and difference in the structure and methods of composition of the two languages; in the second part we have a series of simple English passages for translation into German without other help than is furnished by footnotes. The third part is a parallel English-German Syntax, in which numerous practical illustrations of the grammatical rules of both languages are grouped together so as to bring out their points of identity and contrast. The principle of the book is eminently sound and scientific.' Dublin Evening Mail-"The difficulties of composition which a young learner has to encounter when left to the questionable aid which his dictionary affords him, are entirely surmounted by the author's method, the simplicity of which, we have no doubt, will cause his work to be widely used."
