"The book is admirable, as is also the higher book in German. They both fill a gap that has existed for some years."--From A. S. Downing, Principal of Union School, Palmyra, N. Y.
"I am using 'Easy Lessons in German' in a class of nineteen. I have never before seen so much enthusiasm manifested in the study of a language as is evinced by this class. I have also introduced in this school 'Easy Lessons in French.' The class is small but its members have an ever-growing interest in the French language. I expect to start a private class in German soon. I shall also use this method in that class, since I consider it the easiest, best, and quickest way to acquire a practical knowledge of the German language."--From Curtis R. Morford, Classical and Scientific Institute, Mount Pleasant, Pa.
"It is the best work I have seen, Dreyspring's 'Easy Lessons in German.'"--From Mabel A. Dyer, Omaha, Neb.
"Sie können versichert sein dass ich Ihre lobenswerthe Arbeit betreffs Ihrer Bücher schon viel und noch mehr der Öffentlichkeit zu bringen, mich befleisse."--F. Frankenstein, University Club, Montreal.
The "Easy Lessons" have been specially designed:
1. For those who have a constitutional aversion to all full-grown text-books.
2. For those to whom price is of paramount consideration; and
3. Last, but not least, for the children, the boys and girls of the primary classes, with whom, considering means to ends, a bulky book would be better adapted to filling school-straps and satchels than little heads.
"'Easy Lessons in German' is an abridgment, for younger pupils, of Adolphe Dreyspring's admirable 'Cumulative Method' and 'Verb-Drill.' His system is the wise one of giving everything in German, and teaching almost exclusively by dialogue. Moods and tenses, by this method, acquire an actual significance for the beginner--a great gain over the length and stupid conjugation of the entire verb at once."--The Critic.
"The book has been prepared for the children of primary classes, to whom a bulky book is inconvenient. It is an abridgment of the 'Cumulative Method' with some features of the 'Verb-Drill.' Pictures are placed at the head of the chapters and suggest the lessons. With these questions and answers and reading-lessons, the grammar of the language is almost unconsciously learned by the child. The idea of the book is an admirable one and seems to be well carried out."--Popular Educator, Boston, Mass.
