 NOTICE. 
 
 These "RuDTMENTS" are compiled on the plan of Ahn's larger "Method." 
 The elements of the German language are here presented in their utmost simplicity, 
 compactly arranged in easy gradations from the simplest forms to the more com- 
 plex, the whole carefully adapted to the understanding of young pupils. 
 
 In preparing this edition, some important improvements have heen introduced 
 to lighten the difiBculty of pronunciation and spelling, and to impart a/ree and cor- 
 rect use of German Script. Some interesting reading lessons have also been added, 
 to engage the attention of pupils already familiar with the rudimentary parts 
 adapted to beginners. Thus, this little work is rendered still more worthy of the' 
 high reputation it has enjoyed for many years.

 SIMPLE WORDS. 
 
 Simple words have the accent, in general, on the root or 
 radical syllable. 
 
 They are either monosyllabic roots, or consist of the root 
 and one or more unaccented syllables. The latter may be 
 placed hepre the root, as 6c^ tm)f, txd, tx, %t, Ucr, jcr^ or after 
 the root, as t, t\, tn, enb, cr, cm, c§, efi, ti, ir^t, ig, in, i{i^, 
 \x^, a^tu, ung. 
 
 EXAMPLES.

 Many words taken from foreign languages, have the 
 accent on the last syllable.

 eOMPOFND WORDS. 
 
 Compound words are either combinations of independent 
 » words, or may partly consist of accented prefixes, as mt, 
 mi^^ or of accented final syllables, as Bar, l^ttft, ling, fal, ff^sift^ 
 ni§, ti^, fam, t^um, kin, ei, ^cit, ifctt, inn. 
 
 Each component keeps its proper accent, the principal ac- 
 cent being, in general, laid on the first component.
