This book aims to supply a want not heretofore met—of a German grammar at once sufficiently elementary and progressive for the beginner, and sufficiently systematic and complete for the advanced student, yet within reasonable limits of size and price.
The special circular on the book furnishes ample evidence that it has taken its place in the very front rank of grammars intended for class-room use. We quote the following:—
H. K. Schilling, Asst. Prof. of German, Harvard Univ.: A decidedly more useful book than the more scientific grammars now generally in use in our higher institutions.
Chas. E. Fay, Prof. of Mod. Lang., Tufts Coll., Mass.: I know of no grammar which seems to me so thoroughly to meet the needs of high school and college classes.
J. R. Holzworth, Prof. of German, Syracuse Univ.: We have used it several years. I regard it as the best German grammar in the country for elementary courses.
E. R. Ruggles, Prof. of German, Dartmouth Coll.: It is by far the best German grammar with which I am acquainted.
Professor Seiler, Indiana State Normal School: I give it my unqualified indorsement. I find it a first-rate working text.
Carla Wenckebach, Prof. of German, Wellesley Coll.: The best book of its kind. It gives all necessary grammatical information in a well-arranged system and in a clear and concise form; it is happy in illustration and practical in its exercises. I trust it will have the extended use it so richly deserves.
Sylvester Primer, Prof. of Mod. Lang., Univ. of Texas: I have used it and can give it my hearty recommendation as the very best text-book for acquiring a practical knowledge of German. It will prove the best German grammar either in America or Europe.
J. H. Gorrell, Prof. of Mod. Langs., Wake Forest Univ.: The longer I use it the more I am convinced that its superior as a working grammar of German has not yet appeared in this country.
H. E. Northrop, Prof. of German, Brooklyn, Polytechnic Inst.: It is giving great satisfaction.
Alternative English Exercises.
To accompany the Joynes-Meissner Grammar. By O. F. Lewis of Tufts College. Paper. 54 pages. Introduction price, 15 cents.
This little pamphlet gives two sets of English exercises corresponding to the set in the Joynes-Meissner Grammar, and so enables the teacher to use a different set of exercises with three successive beginning classes, to avoid the yearly repetition of the same sentences.
