INTRODUCTION
TO THB
FIRST BOOK IN GERMAN.
The "First Booh in German" is intended as introduc

tory to the German Course. In many schools the German
language is now commenced by students of too young
an age to begin with the rather rigid treatment that is
adopted in the German Course, which is intended for
more advanced students in Colleges, Academies, and
High-schools. The First Booh in German is intended
to meet the wants of these younger classes.
Scope and The treatment is in every way simpler and
Method, easier than in the German Course. The de
velopment of grammatical principles in the Lessons is
less rapid. The sentences are shorter and less compli
cated, and are adapted to the mental condition of
younger persons. The words which are introduced re
fer to the most familiar objects of daily life. By occa
sional recapitulations the student is shown what prog
ress he has made in accumulating a stock of words and
in learning the grammatical forms of the language.
While this First Booh is intended primarily for youn
ger classes of students, it may often be used with ad
vantage, however, as an introductory book, by quite
advanced students, who intend to give two or three
years to the study of the German language. The ad
ditional time thus spent in these preliminary lessons
IV
INTRODUCTION.
will insure in the end greater advancement, and a more

thorough and satisfactory knowledge of the language
than though the student should hasten to the reading
of classical literature.
The First Book in German is divided into three parts :
First Part, containing Practical Lessons ;
Second Part, containing Familiar Conversations ;
Third Part, containing a Classified Vocabulary.
Practical The Practical Lessons are arranged upon
Lessons, the same general plan as that which is
adopted in the German Course. Each lesson consists
of five parts, as follows :
First, Sentences illustrating the new Principles ;
Second, a German Exercise ;
Third, Vocabulary of new Words ;
Fourth, Explanation of Grammatical Principles ;
Fifth, an English Exercise.
In the first part a few sentences are given with En
glish translation, and containing the new grammatical
principles of the lesson ingrafted upon words already
known. The attention is thus drawn at the first solely
to the new principle.
Secondly, the same principles are applied to sentences
without translation, and containing new words. From
similarity to corresponding English words, or from the
connection of the sentence, the meaning of these new
words will often be surmised. It is better for the pu
pil to learn the signification of new words from seeing
them in living sentences, than to trace them in a dic
tionary. The impression upon the mind is more vivid,
and the intellect is thus trained at an early stage to
careful habits of analysis.
Thirdly, the Vocabulary contains the new words
which are used in the lesson. These are usually not
INTRODUCTION.
arranged alphabetically, but they are grouped accord

ing to their logical or grammatical similarity or contrast
in meaning and use.
Fourthly is given an explanation, with appropriate il
lustration, of the new grammatical principles which are
involved in the preceding exercises. The treatment of
the grammatical principles is not exhaustive, but is suffi
cient to explain the exercises. The rules which are
given are stated in simple language, and are abundant
ly illustrated by examples. Advantage is taken of
heavier type and of spaced letters to attract the eye
to the variable part of the inflected word. As being
more appropriate to conversation with children and
pupils, the second person of the pronoun is employed
in most of the exercises.
Fifthly, the lesson closes with an exercise of En
glish sentences containing the new words and princi
ples, to be translated into German.
. ,.
The exercises in Pronunciation contain

short and simple sentences with many
proper names. They contain no words the meaning
of which is not readily discerned, nor do they involve
more difficulties of pronunciation than occur in ordi
nary discourse. The pupil is thus not distracted by
having to pronounce long lists of words which convey
to him no meaning, and which also give an erroneous
idea of the phonetic character of the language. For
several lessons the accent is marked on all the words.
This is done for the double purpose of fixing the ac
centuation and of showing the division of words into
syllables.
German
As it is desirable to introduce the difCurrent hand. Acuities of the language gradually, the
VI
INTRODUCTION.
use of the German Current Hand is reserved until the

eye of the student shall have become familiar with the
printed German type.
Familiar
In order that it may be impressed upon
Conversations, the mind of the pupil that the German
language can be made the medium of all his thoughts
and feelings as fully as his own vernacular can be, a
number of Familiar Conversations are introduced after
the Lessons. These conversations treat of subjects,
and contain words and expressions that are fitted to
the juvenile mind.
Classified In order to show the student as forcibly
Vocabulary, as possible how large a stock of words he
will have accumulated upon finishing the book, a Clas
sified Vocabulary is given of all the German words oc
curring in the Lessons and the Conversations. It would
be a useful exercise for the student to commit to mem
ory a small section of this vocabulary each day, while
reviewing the book. With several hundred words and
the elementary grammatical forms thus firmly fixed in
the mind, the student will be well prepared for the
more rigid study of the language in the German Course.
The English words are given alphabetically.

IMPERSONAL VERBS.
19
Grammatical.
1. Impersonal verbs take l)abcn, to have, as their aux
iliary in forming the Perfect and Pluperfect Tenses.
The Impersonal Verb Ija'=gcllt, to luiil,\s conjugated thus :
INDICATIVE MOOD.
Present Tense: ti ba'*gelt, it hails.
Imperfect Tense: ti ba'.geltC, it hailed.
Perfect Tense:
ti hat gfba'geUt, it has hailed.
Pluperfect Tense: ti batte gcba'gel't, it had hailed.
2. When the stem of the verb ends in =cl or ttX, usually
only =tt is added for the termination of the Infinitive:
$a'gef*jt, to hail.
25ott'ner*Jt, to thunder.
i
3. When the stem of the verb ends in =tt, -t, or =gtt, the
second person of the singular of the present tense takes
the ending *tft, and the third person singular and the
second person plural take =ct, as:
Infinitive: 2.(cUenb*CH, t0 finish, complete.
INDICATIVE PRESENT.
Singular.
Plural.
id) ttoUemM, I complete.
toir tooflenb'cn, we complete.
btt boHenb=eft, thou completest.
ibr tooUenb*tt, you complete.
er UoUenb'tt, he completes.
fie tooUettb^cn, they complete.
Hem. Thus rcgtt=CHf to rain, has ti rcgtl*tt, it rains, it is raining.
4. The Perfect Tense is often employed in German
where in English the Imperfect Tense would be used:
@8 l)at gefiern geregitCt, al8 tvir It rained yesterday while we were in
irt ôt8bam Karen,
Potsdam.

1. The Dative Case in German is governed :
1. By some Prepositions, as : CMg, aufjer, gegenu'ber, mtt,
nacb, oon, JU, etc.
2. By some Adjectives, as : afmlicb, fd)ablid), etc.
3. By many Verbs, as : fofgen, gep'ren, fcbttfen, etc.
Rem. 1. The Dative Case in German frequently corresponds to the English
objective, preceded by to, either expressed or understood, especially when it
is the indirect object of a verb.
Er fcbtcfte bem d)iiler ba8 Sud),
He sent (to) the scholar the book.
Rem. 2. The Dative of the definite article bee, Me, bfl, is : bent, bet, bent.
2. Nouns that have =C in the Genitive have -t in the
Dative, as : ber Wtam, beg Mann^tS, bem 9Jiann*e.
Rem. 1. The e is often dropped from the termination of many nouns that
have se and =e in the genitive and dative, as : bem SKann (for bem Sffianne).
Rem. 2. Feminine nouns are unchanged in the singular.
Rem. 3. Nouns that take the ending =tt or sett in the genitive retain it in the
accusative and dative also.
3 Among the idiomatic uses of the Dative Case the
following may be noticed :
1. Adjectivesfollow the noun they govern in the dative :
Da8 Sucb tft bem @d)tUer Jtit^1tuj, The book is useful to the scholar
2- CflCltiitlCt may precede, but usually follows the noun:
S)er Strcbe gegeniibet (or gegeniiber Opposite the church,
ber $ird)e).
32 PREPOSITIONS WITH THE ACCUSATIVE AND DATIVE.

personal noun precedes one referring to a thing, whatever the case of

1. The nine Prepositions an, auf, Winter, in, neben, fiber,
unter, or, and jwifd)en may govern either the Accusative
or the Dative Case:
1. They govern the Accusative Case when motion to*
wards the object they govern is expressed.
B2
34 PREPOSITIONS WITH THE DATIVE AND ACCUSATIVE.
2. They govern the Dative Case when rest within or

motion inside of specified limits is expressed.
@r legte bag 93ucb auf bctt ifcb,
2)a8 Sud) ift auf bent SCif^C,
He laid the book on the table.

The book is on the table.
2. The correct use ofprepositions is one of the most

difficult things to be acquired in learning a foreign lan
guage.
Rem. 1. This is owing largely to the fact that there are so many idiomatic
expressions connected with their use which can not be literally translated from
one language to another.
@r geljt nacb aufe,
He is going home.
@r ift ju aufe,
He is at home.
@t gebt iibet SiJln,
He goes by way of Cologne.
2>aS Soot ift an bent Ufer,
The boat is by the shore.
(Sr fttjt an bem Sifche,
He is sitting at the table.
<Sx ift au8 8erlin,
He is from Berlin.
Rem. 2. This difficulty is also increased to the English-speaking person in
learning German by the fact that, in German, prepositions govern three cases,
the Genitive, Dative, and Accusative ; and by the fact that circumstances de
termine whether certain prepositions shall govern the Accusative or Dative.
3. The English Cases are rendered in German thus :

1. The Nominative by the Nominative in German.
2. The Possessive by the Genitive in German.
3. The Objective by the Genitive, Dative, and Ac
cusative in German.
4. The Verbs (jeljen, to go, and ftd)Ctt, to stand, are reg
ular only in the present tense.
Rem. The imperfect tense of these verbs will be given hereafter.
Exercise 30.
1. Where is the painting? 2. The carpenter hung it

Grammatical.
1. The German verb has no potential mood. The po
tential mood of the English verb is in most cases trans
lated into German by the use of certain verbs called
Potential Verbs, as fonnen, can; etc
2. Potential Verbs (fbnttCtt,etc.) have a complete conju
gation. They take t)aben as their auxiliary, and belong
to the seventh class of irregular verbs (Less. XXVIII.).
3. Stinnett (to be able, can) indicates:
1. Moral or physicalpossibility:
(Sr lann lefen unb fd)reiben, He can read and write.
2. A possibility or contingency .te fijnnen mid) ertoarten, You may expect me.

5. The participial form is only used when theprincipal
verb is understood. The infinitive form is used for the
participle when the principal verb is expressed:
3d) babe nid)t bBren iouucit,
3d) batte geben f ontlCIT,
fl>ut)3d) babe e8 nid)t gefonnt,
Er bat e8 gefonnt,
I could not hear.

I had been able to go.
I could not (do) it.
He has been able (to do) it.
6. The potential verbs follow the same law ofposi

tion in the present and imperfect tenses as the auxilia
ries I)flbctt, fetn, and toerbett. In the compound tenses
the infinitive form of the potential verb is placed after
the infinitive of the modified verb :
Er ttirJ) C Icfeit foiinctt,
Er fjat e8 lefeil tbttncn,
He will be able to read it.

He has been able to read it.
7. The potential verbs are never used as independent

verbs. They are only used to limit or qualify the in

THE IMPERATIVE MOOD.
113
Grammatical.
1. The Imperative Mood of regular verbs is conjugated :
SINGULAR.
2d Person: Vltb't (bu),
love (thou), or do (thou) love.
3d Person: lictK er (or fte), let him (or her) love.
PLURAL.
lst Person: Iieb*ett HOT, let.us love.
2d Person: {{j'^^1gjc } love
or you)> do ê or you) love"
3d Person: Iieb*Ctt fie,
let them love.
2. Irregular verbs, which change the radical vowel t
to t or ic in the second and third persons singular of
the present indicative, retain this change of the radical
vowel in the second person singular of the Imperative :
1. Imperative of gebtlt, to give (bu fltellft, cr gicfct) :
SINGULAR.
2d Person: gttfi (btt),
give (thou), or do (thou) give.
3d Person: geb=e er (or fie), let him (or her) give.
PLURAL.
1st Person: geb=ett Voir,
let us give.
2d Person: |ê? j*?' j" g>ve (ye or you), or do (ye or you) give.
3d Person: geb*Clt fie,
let them give.
2. Imperative of nel)men, to take (t>u nimmft, er nimmt):
SINGULAR.
2d Person: jtttttltt (bu),
take (thou), or do (thou) take.
3d Person: Ttebttwe er (or fie), let him (or her) take.
PLURAL.
1st Person: ttel)m=ett Kltr, let us take.
2</ Person: |nc^m't 0O, } take (ye or you), or do (ye or you) take.
3d Person: nebmêtt fie,
let them take.
3. Most other irregular verbs form the Imperative Mood
in the same way as regular verbs.
Rem. The final t is often dropped, however, from the second person singular :
t^. / ( ,
Somm(e) nut rtn8,
Come with us.

fixing to simple verbs tbe prepositions (tit, (Jltf, tttt, ttltt,
tior, Jtt, and some others.
Rem. Very many simple verbs in English are rendered into German by
compound verbs. The proper use of compound verbs is one of the most dif
ficult, as well as one of the most important things in the study of the German
language.

Rem. 1. The accent is placed on the prefix of separable compound verbs.
116
Rem. 2. When JU is used with the infinitive of separable compound yerbs,

it is placed between the prefix and the simple verb :
(3d) rothtfd)e ju geben,
I wish to go.)
3d) toiinfcbe au8'Jugeben,
I wish to go out.
(3d) toiinfcbe e8 ju nebmen,

RELATIVE PRONOUNS.
Grammatical.
1. As Relative Pronouns are employed:

1. The Interrogative Pronouns WCt, iDftiS, and UlCldjCr;
2. The Demonstrative Pronoun btt,
2. SSScr and toa$, as relatives, can be used only in general or indefinite expressions, never when a particular
person or thing is referred to :
2Ber nid)t boren nritt, mufj fiiblen "Who will not hear, must feel" (or,
(or bet mufj fiiblen),
he who will not hear, must feel).
2Ba3 tit bcute tbun fannfl, &er* What you can do to-day, put not off
fcbiebe ntcbt auf morgcn (or boS
till to-morrow (or, do not put off
Setfcbtebe Jlid?t auf morgen),
till to-morrow that which you can
do to-day).
Hem. The antecedent of WCt or Bjnr when in the same case as the relative,
is thus often omitted in German (as it is, also, in English).
3. As a general rule, smoothness of sound alone de

termines whether luchljcr or bet should be used:
Sa ift ber 2Kann, tilCldjClt (or bctt) There is the man (whom) we saw
ttnr geftern faben,
yesterday.
Rem. The relative pronoun can not be omitted in German, as it often is in
English (see the above example).
4. But if the genitive of the relative pronoun is used

withoa^ a noun following it, the genitive of btt must be
employed :
Scr 2ftatm, bcjfctt @obn fo fremf if}, The man whose son is so sick.
Rem. When used as a relative, bft is declined in the same way as when it
is used as a demonstrative pronoun.
5. The personal pronoun, if in the first or second per

son, is usually repeated after the relative:
Sa8 hnffett tt)ir, bit IBtr e8 gefeben That we, who have seen it, know,
baben,
2>a ttjetjjt bu, tec bll eS gefeben That thou, who hast seen it, knowbaft,
est.
6. As the sentence containing the relative pronoun

is subordinate to the main sentence (i. e., explanatory
of it), the verb in the relative sentence is placed at
the end.
2>criKann,beffen@cbnfo!tanttft.
The man whose son is so sick.
COMPOUND PRONOMINAL ADVERBS.
145
Rem. 1. In compound tenses the auxiliary is placed after the verb:

SDer aJiann, ben toir g e f e b e tt l)a= The man, who we have seen.
ben,
2>n8 $au8, Wcld)e8 er faufat The house which he will buy.
loiri),
Rem. 2. The potential verb also follows the main verb:
a8 au8,teelcbe8 er t a u f e tt toill, The house which he wishes to buy.
2)ie Slufgabe, bie t(b pertte 2Jiorgen The exercise which I must copy this

specially after verbs expressing doubt, fear, hope, purpose, desire, etc.
3d) boffe, bag er fommen tticrbc,
I hope that he will come.
3d) mufjte nicbt, ob er getommen fef, I did not know whether hehadcome.

That is splendid. I like the shade

ever so much ; we will go through
Potsdam Street, will we not?
Yes, and we will stop at your aunt's,
and see if she can go with us.
And cousin Helen too?
Yes.
What is the matter there?
I do not know ; I will ask this gentle
man. May I ask you, sir, what is
the cause of the crowd at the gate
there ? Has any thing happened ?
Nothing of importance ; a wagon ran
against a cab, and knocked a wheel
off; the cab-driver fell off from his
seat, and now he is scolding at the
driver of the wagon, and wishes to
fight him ; the policemen will soon
quiet him.
Thank you, sir.
Mamma, let us goto the goldfish pond.
Do notgo too near theedge; youmight
fall in.
Oh, the beautiful fishes !
Throw them a piece of bread.
Let us sit down a moment on thts
bench in the shade.
There are a great many people in the
Thiergarten to-day.
It is beginning to be too cool ; let us
go on.
It looks as though it is going to rain.
Mary, do not go on the grass; that
is strictly forbidden; if all go on
the grass, there will soon be no mora
grass there.
See there, mamma! there goes a splen
did carriage with four horses.
I think that is the crown princess.
Let us go home now.
It will soon be noon.

make any difference, though.

Can you mend the sleeve of your

I will try.
Bring me my thimble; it has fallen
on the floor.
Where is it? I do not see it.
There it lies, under the arm-chair.
I wish another needle; the point to
this one is broken off.
Give me my sewing-basket; I will
find one for you; is this one too
large?
I can not thread the needle.
Give it to me ; ofcourse you can not,
the thread is too coarse; give me
the other spool ; hold the needle so,
put the end of the thread through
the eye of the needle so, draw the
thread through so, and there it is.
Thank you, very much.
You may give me the dress; I will
mend it.
Can you give me a pin ?
There are plenty in the pin-cushion.
They are all too small.
There is a paper of pins, perhaps they
are larger.
I will sew this seam with the sewingmachine.

COMFORT'S GERMAN SERIES.

In preparing this German Series, it has been the aim of the authot
to incorporate the most advanced views and principles of linguistic
instruction, as held by the best writers upon philology, and the best
practical educators in Europe and America. Especial preference
has been given to those features of approved works for the study of
modern languages which, in Europe more especially, have stood the
test of practical use. A few other features, also, have been intro
duced which have been adopted with eminent success by the most
able professors of modern language in their personal instruction,
but which have not heretofore found their way into text-books.
Care has been taken to give due relative prominence to each of
these tried and approved principles, and to mould them into a ho
mogeneous system, adapted to the wants of those schools in Amer
ica in which the German language is taught
On the one hand, the aim has been to incorporate as much in
formation concerning the grammatical structure, the historical de
velopment, the linguistic relations, and the literary character of the
German language as is possible within the period that is usually de
voted to this study ; and, on the other, to initiate the student into
the most practical method of learning to read, to write, and to speak
Sie German language.
The Series includes the following works :
FIRST BOOK IN GERMAN: foryounger pupils in Grammar
Schools, Academies, and Seminaries. The treatment is eminently
practical ; the words and sentences are such as occur in familiar
conversation ; the grammatical rules are stated in simple and terse
language, and are illustrated by a large number of examples ; and
the Lessons are followed by a collection of Familiar Conversations,
which will aid the pupil to express himself on subjects that come
naturally within the range of the juvenile mind. Although intended
primarily for young classes, it may be used with advantage as an in
troductory book to the " German Course " by those of a more ad
vanced age.
FIRST GERMAN READER: for the use of pupils who have
studied the " First Book in German." The selections, which are
from the best and most popular writings in the charming juvenile
literature of Germany, consist mostly of anecdotes, fables, tales, and
pieces of didactic poetry. The style is clear, simple, and elevated.
The sentences are short, and the words employed are those which
are most familiarly used in the conversation of daily life. Abundant
Botes are given for the explanation of the text.
GERMAN COURSE: for beginners in the study of the German
language of a more advanced age than those for whom the " First
Book in German " is adapted ; or for those who are already familiar
with that book. It consists of four parts : Part I. Practical Lessons
tor learning to read, write, and speak the German language. Part
II. Familiar Conversations in German and English, idioms and
Comfort's German Series.

synonyms, models of letters, forms of business, and selections from
German literature. Part III. A compend of German Grammar,
with an introduction on the history, characteristics, and dialects of
the language. Part IV. Tables of German moneys, weights, and
measures, abbreviations, personal and geographical proper names,
and German-English and English-German vocabularies. The book
is eminently philosophic in scope and practical in style, and is well
adapted to the wants of classes in our colleges, academies, and highschools.
TEACHER'S COMPANION to the German Course: for the
use of comparatively inexperienced teachers, containing suggestion*
with reference to methods of instruction in living language, and espe
cially with reference to the use of the " German Course." It con
tains a key to the exercises in the lessons of Part I., with philological,
historical, geographical, and explanatory notes ; a key and notes to
Part II. ; and notes to Parts III. and IV. The teacher will find it
invaluable.
GERMAN READER: to follow the " German Course." The
selections are made from the best German writers, mostly of the
present century ; and, that the student may feel as definitely as pos
sible the spirit of the language, they have reference to Germany and
illustrate German history, biography, geography, mythology, and so
cial life and customs. Abundant notes are added, which contain
elucidations of the more difficult constructions and explanations of
many of the historical events and social customs which are alluded
to in the text. Copious references to the " German Course " are in
terspersed. A vocabulary of all the words that occur in the text of
the Reader, and full indexes of authors and subjects are given also.
MANUAL OF GERMAN CONVERSATION: to be used
alternately with the Reader. The conversations are on the most
familiar subjects of daily life : selections from the " Illustrated Cat
echisms of the Arts and Sciences ;" an extensive collection of idi
oms; items from newspapers; advertisements; an extensive col
lection of classified words, phrases, and expressions, referring to va
rious departments of science, art, politics, religion, trade, manufac
tures, and daily life (with lists of adjectives, regular verbs, homonyms,
and compound words) ; and a number of pages of German current
hand. The volume contains also frequent grammatical references
to the " German Course."
Commendatory Testimonials, Notices, &o.

The following are a few of the commendations of the German
Series received from prominent educational sources :
From E. R. Ruggles, Professor of Modern Languages in Dartmouth
College, Hanover, N. H.
We have adopted the Grammar (German Course), and it is now
in the hands of about a hundred of our students. It is in my judg
ment, on the whole, the best German Grammar published in this
country.
From J. H. Brenneman, Principal of High-School, Chtilicothe, 0.
It is the best German Grammar in print.
Comfort 's German Series.

From C. P. WlLCOX, Professor of Modern Languages in the Georgia
State University, Athens.
It is a somewhat invidious task to substitute new class-books for
those already in use. The fact that I have done so in this instance
is a proof of the value I set upon Prof. Comfort's " Course." I was
so struck with its peculiar adaptedness to the wants of our Ameri
can students that I determined to introduce it into my classes.
From B. W. DwiGHT, Ph.D., Vice-President American Philological
Association.
Having taught German for twenty-five years, I have used every one
of the manuals of instruction in that noble language, and have found
them each marked with decided faultssome in being too minute,
complicated, and voluminous, and others in being quite too general
and vague. Prof. Comfort's "Course" is happily free from these
faults, and is scholarly, practical, and well adapted to the real wants
of those who wish to learn the German language rapidly and well.
From Prof. F. L. O. Roehrig, formerly Director of the Polyglot Bu
reau, New York, and now Professor in Cornell University.
After a careful examination of Prof. Comfort's work, I hasten to
express to you my high appreciation of its merits. This being the
first German Grammar in the English language that stands on the
solid foundation of true and scientific philology, its appearance ought
;o be hailed with delight by every fair critic.
The Germans can now be proud of having our beloved mother
tongue presented to the American public in a worthy form.
The introductory lessons are remarkable for the lucid and prac
tical manner in which the elements of the language are there un
folded.
The idiomatic accuracy of the German exercises is one of the most
striking features of this excellent work.
From G. F. Behringer, Assistant Professor of German, Cornell Uni
versity.
We propose introducing Comfort's " German Course " into all our
:lasses next trimester, numbering one hundred and fifty students.
From Rev. William Nast, D.D., Editor of'Der Christliche Apologet," and President of German Wallace College, Berea, Ohio.
The study of the German language is finding its proper place in
the regular course of schools of every grade. Among the text-books
which have lately been published to facilitate the study of this im
portant and somewhat difficult language, Prof. Comfort's " German
Course " takes a high rank.
The chief requisite for a practical Grammar of a living language
is fully met by Prof. Comfort The scholar is not needlessly bur
dened with theory, but is taught, by well-chosen exercises and ex
amples, at the very start, to make practical efforts himself.
From Prof. Oscar Howes, A.M., ofShurtleff College, Upper Alton, Til.
I am much pleased with Comfort's " German Course," and think
I shall like it better than any other.
From Mrs. A. C. Knight, Wilbraham, Mass.
I have used the " German Course " two terms, and am well pleased
with it. I prefer it to any Grammar I have yet used.

From Prof. Friedrich Stengel, School of Mines, Columbia College,
New York.
Prof. Comfort's " German Course " rises above the common mech
anism of modern text-books.
This method is well calculated to introduce the pupil gradually to
the difficulties of the language ; and the clear and logical mode of
arrangement contributes to facilitate study to such a degree that, if
the instructor follows the practical hints given in the "Teacher's
Companion to the German Course," the pupil, with a little perse
verance, will soon be able to read our German authors, and write and
speak with propriety.
From Miss Rachel Redford, Principal of Seminary, Barking
Ridge, N.J.
I have no hesitancy in saying that Comfort's " First Book in Ger
man " is the best on its subject that I have ever examined.
From Prof. T. B. Threlkeld, Salem College, Ky.
I regard Comfort's "German Course" a very superior work. It
renders easy the study of the German language.
From Prof. L. G. Marshall, Harrison Academy, Cynthiana, Ky.
It seems to me certainly the most scholarly production on the
subject in our country, and last, if not least, it is the most beautifully
printed.
From Prof. J. C. VAN Benschoten, Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn.
I have found Prof. Comfort's " German Course " the best text
book in the German language I have ever used.
From Gen. Franz Sigel.
I have with some care perused the new English-German Gram
mar of Prof. Comfort, and I think it my duty to write these few lines
as an appreciation of the method applied in the book. Such a Gram
mar and compendium is an excellent addition to what we possess in
this line of literature, and undoubtedly will find its way into our Enflish and German-American schools where the German language
as been made a branch of study. It is " short, sharp, and decisive,"
and gives high proof of the thorough and comprehensive mind of itsauthor.
From Dr. H. Von Holst, New York.
It gives me satisfaction to state, after a pretty careful examination
of Prof. G. F. Comfort's "German Course," that I think the book
may conscientiously be recommended to every teacher. It will be
found practical as well as reliable.
From Dr. J. B. Feuling, Professor of Comparative Philology, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Madison.
I consider Prof. Comfort's " German Course " a very good book,
and I will introduce it here at the next change of our text-books.
From F. CHRISTIANER, County Superintendent, Abingdon, Knox Co.,
III.
After a due examination, I conclude the "Course" is easy, progress
ive, and comprehensible, and just the thing for our American students.
Being a German by birth and education, I fully appreciate the work,
and shall with pleasure recommend it to our public institutions.

From Eugene Von Nordhausen, A.M., LL.B., late Professor of
Modem Languages, New York.
It was with great pleasure that I perused carefully a " German
Course " published by Harper & Brothers. Without criticising the
former works on the subject, I must acknowledge the great superior
ity of this in the mode of introducing this difficult language to stu
dents.
I have no doubt that an ordinary good scholar may, alone, with
the help of this book, learn enough of the German language to en
able him to enjoy its beauties.
From Prof. Joseph E. King, Principal ofFort EdwardInstitute, N. Y.
Comfort's " German Course " has more than realized our expect
ations.
From J. H. FORD, Principal of School, Jeannerette, Parish Iieria, La.
It is a "Course " prepared with remarkable care ; the rules are con
cise and lucid. I have decided to use it in my future classes.
From Dr. GEORGE W. ERDMANN, Teacher of German in New York.
My first judgment has not only been fully justified, but I have
found it answerable and useful far beyond my expectations. I shall
use Comfort's " German Course " exclusively hereafter.
From J. C. Brodfuehrer, Professor of Languages, College Hill, O.
Of the many text-books with which I am acquainted, I consider
Comfort's the best for clearness of statement and arrangement The
best recommendation of the work is that it has bravely stood the test
of the school-room and class examination. I wish every instructor
of German could see this book to compare it with others and judge
for himself.
From Prof. A. F. Berhdolt, Mercersburg College, Franklin Co., Pa.
The work commends itself to all students of German. Teachers
of German have long felt the want of a Grammar embodying, as this
does, at the same time, the grammatical forms and the history and
development of such forms. The tables of the Comparison of
Words in the Indo-European Languages are of incalculable benefit
to the student.
From Rev. N. E. Cobleigh, President of Eastern Tennessee Wesleyan
University, Athens.
I like the " German Course " better for a text-book than any other
f the many it has been my privilege to examine. For method, com
pleteness, and critical accuracy I consider it superior to any other in
this country.
From Prof. J. B. Garritt, Hanover College, Ind.
I have already carefully gone over the first part of the " German
Course," and am so much pleased with it that I have decided to use
it the next year with my class.
From Prof. Louis Kistler, Northwestern University, Evanston, III.
I can conscientiously recommend it as a most suitable introduc
tion into the living, spoken speech of the German people, while it
furnishes, at the same time, the essential principles necessary to lead
to an understanding of the rich literature of Germany. The
" Course " will supply, in this regard, a long-felt want
