PREFACE
r
With grateful acknowledgment of the favor which for
a period of more than twenty years has been accorded to
the New Method with German, — and accepting as the
" Reward of Merit" the compliment of its Transatlantic
publication, — the author has endeavored, in preparing the
present work, to render it still more worthy of public ap-
proval. This work, while embracing several features of prac-
tical value not contained in the former one, is based upon
the same general plan. To the marked acceptance of this
plan, as originally tested in the New Method and sub-
sequently in Fasquelle's French Course, has been added the
sanction of its extensive adoption, with various modifications,
both in American and European compilations for the study
of the modern languages.
The Lessons in the Practical Course, as in the New
Method, consist usually of five divisions in the following
order :
1. Examples. These Examples, accompanied by their
nearest English equivalents, are made to illustrate the
grammatical and idiomatic principles which are involved in
the Lessons.
2. Vocabularies. In order the more effectually to guard
against the tendency to ignore the importance of practising
the pronunciation of words, as arranged in connection with
their definitions, the Vocabularies are placed before the Ex-
ercises. By this arrangement, also, those words which are
4 PREFACE.
alike in form and at the same time different in pronuncia-
tion or meaning, in the two languages (as Halter, Mutter,
Hunger, Fuss, rotten, her, &c), may be duly noted by the
pupil before he is required to encounter the difficulties con-
nected with the various grammatical forms and principles as
practically employed in the more complex exercise of trans-
lating. As an aid to the memory in mastering the gram-
matical distinctions of gender, usually so perplexing to the
beginner, the masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns are
grouped separately. Other parts of speech, for convenience
of reference, are arranged alphabetically.
In addition to the usual method for teaching the meaning
of words, the mnemonic aid of association is made largely
available by means of references from the Vocabularies to a
system of Philological Rules with Examples illustrative of
the form and meaning of such words as have in both lan-
guages a common origin. That portion of the system which
treats of Consonantal Changes and Equivalents includes with
German and English several other cognate languages. The
Examples of Vowel-changes are limited to German and Eng-
lish words.
3. German Exercises. The sentences in German require
only the application of the instructions contained in the
Lesson, or in the preceding ones, for their translation into
English.
4. English Exercises. The analogous sentences in Eng-
lish are presented in immediate connection with the preced-
ing ones in German. The principles applied in the German
Exercises are thus made a most convenient and effective
auxiliary in the still more advanced and difficult work of
translating English into German.
5. Grammatical and Idiomatic Principles. This division
may be employed by means of the references either in con-
nection with the preceding instructions, or, when not thus
PREFACE. • O
required, may be applied both as a test of the pupil's pre-
vious deductious and at the same time as an appropriate
and impressive review.
The Lessons are peculiarly progressive. No grammatical
form or principle has been permitted to add undue difficulty
to the more advanced Lessons for the sake of rendering
easier and more attractive the earlier ones. A wholly new
and practical method is employed from the very outset for
the illustration of the characteristic forms and uses of the
Adjective Words. The peculiar perplexities commonly con-
nected with the various endings of these words as applied
to designate gender are essentially remedied by employing,
as their type, those forms of the Personal Pronoun which
(unlike those of the Definite Article) have in English their
precise equivalents both in respect to form and application.
While t>er, t)ie, ba3, defined by the, and used to indicate
gender, appear to one whose linguistic knowledge is limited
to English utterly incomprehensible, the forms er, he ; jte,
she ; e£, it, on the other hand, require no explanation, and
once seen in their pronominal use, their forms and applica-
tion, as gender-endings, are equally intelligible.
The German Script is arranged as well with reference to
its separate study and its direct comparison with the printed
alphabet, as to the widely different circumstances which of
necessity control the decision of the teacher in respect to
the time, manner, and extent of its application.
The Plan of Composing German in the present work, al-
though mainly the same as in the former one, is arranged
with a view either to an earlier and more extended use, or
to a later and more limited one, according to the aim or
capacity of the pupil and the opportunity for the prepara-
tion of the proposed exercises.
In accordance with the plan adopted in the author's
Neue Methode zur Erlernung der englischen Sprache, the
D PREFACE.
Practical Course embraces in connection with the Reading
Lessons a succinct history of the German nation, noting its
origin and relation to other nations of Europe and Asia, the
development and prominent features of the German Lan-
guage, and the position which it occupies among the living
languages of Europe. This history, while answering the
ordinary purpose of Reading Lessons, serves, likewise, to im-
press upon the memory both the forms and facts of the
language as further illustrative of the philological rules pre-
sented in the earlier part of the Course.
Among the further features of the work to which the
author would invite attention are the Exercises in English
type, bringing variously into review the peculiarities of the
preceding Lessons, — the treatment and alphabetical list of
the Verbs of the Old Conjugation, &c, &c.
While special care has been taken to render both the
analytic and synthetic parts so complete as to admit of
their being employed separately, according to the choice
of method in the study of the language, they are likewise
designed, as occasion may require, to be used in connection,
and hence are published both together and also in separate
volumes.
Thankfully recognizing the friendly aid which has been
received from several gentlemen of eminent linguistic attain-
ments, the author would also express his appreciation of
past criticisms by asking for the present work the favor of
their prompt and friendly repetition.

2. Vowels are lengthened, 1. when doubled ; 2. at the e?ic7 of
accented syllables, and 3. in a syllable with silent fj :
©ctat, leer, SWooS ; $aben, lefen, SD^ine, ©ote, $uber, (Egrud ; mat)ten, £efy(er, tf)tt,
^l, ru&t, ©tufcl; SPaar, laben, befynen, Scaler, ?c.
3* 3> h m l° n & when followed by c in the same syllable :
Stefce, fyter, x>ier, me, $ricbe, ftekn, £>teb, £)ief)(e, 93tene.
4. Towels are shortened (gefdjarft), 1. when followed by a dou-
ble consonant, and 2. often, when followed by two consonants :
$<Me, SWejTer, tettig, SRotte, ©uppe ; Zaftig, belter, filter, $oIfier, munter.
t
ttmlattte. Umlauts.
5. The umlauts are $(c or tt, ©C or 5, Ue or it, and are
pronounced as follows :
5le, a nearly like e : STepfel. partner, fpat, 8ejfo
Oc r as in Del. 3>5bel. ®ott)e. 9JJo»e.
tte, it as in Uebung. Gutter. (Sub. SHifo
For i) and ii there are in English no corresponding sounds. The French
eu in pair answers nearly to 0, and u in the word vu, to ii. The C of the
umlauts, unless they are capitals, is usually expressed hy two dots, as in the
above examples.
StMttjonge. Diphthongs.
6. The diphthongs are ttt (or ttt)), ttU, Ct (or Ct))> CU, tttt, and
are pronounced as follows :
9lt, at (or at)), like ay in aye : 6at. 2RaiS. 2aifc. 2Ratn.

7. 8, b, f, % t, I, m, n, j, q, y, &> rt, ff sound like
b, d, f, h, k, I, m, n, p, q, x, ck, ph, ss in English.
8. (£, C, before a, 0, U, sounds like k ; before a, 0, C, t, I), it
sounds like j (£s) :
<£afle, £ompa§, Gur; Gafar, <£5Ifoat', (£eber, GtrcuS, EgmM.
"9. ©5/ fy* I* m worQ, s taken from foreign languages, retains
its original sound j 2. when followed by f (0) in the same
syllable, it has the sound of k; 3. in other positions it has
a guttural sound :
Sfjor (choir), (E&arlatan (charlatan) ; Dd)fe, 2Bad)3, fe$3 ; nad), 0iad)e, fad)t,
Sod), £)od)r, 33ud)e, $ud)en, £ud), 9taud), taudjen, 1)0 d).
1. To produce the guttural sound of dj, take for experiment the word
Ipod} ; pronounce fid precisely like our word ho ! giving, however, as full
and prolonged a breathing at the end as at the beginning, thus hoh = Ijodj.
2. When not preceded by Q, 0, U, or Hit, as also in the suffix djett, a
slight hissing sound of sh naturally attaches to d) :
red)t, id>, retd), end), icbd)crn, btd)t, m$d)te, Str^e, Serene.
10. ©, g, at the'beginning of a word, or when doubled, has
the sound of g in ^>, niggard ; after tt in the same syllable, it
sounds like our g hard in like position :
©abel, gut, <£gge ; ©anger, lang, 33tngen, 3T$tung, fRi&elmtgeit.
At the end of a radical syllable, or in the combinations gg, gb, gt, 0$,
its sound approaches that of guttural dj (9.) :
SKagen, SBogen, Sugenb, £ag, £rog, flrug, Sflagb, SugS, lugt, logfi, arg, Salg,
<£gel, Setpstg, trage, Suge, SRagbe, S>e; legte, fdgjt, 2)egen, ntogen.
11. §, 5, unless it begins a syllable, is silent, but serves to
lengthen its vowel :
me$r, l'of)n, t&un, 2Kcu)f, tym, fiU)n, Stfjne, D$m, <Sof)n, £a$n.
12. 3, j sounds like y consonant :
3a§r, 3ube, Sanuar, 3uM, jener, 3unfer, j'eber, 3ager, jung.
13. 91, f, unless in an unaccented syllable or after a long
vowel, is uttered with a trill or vibration of the throat :
$egen, Sfcofcr, rein, arg, fWarf, mix, barren, ©pane.
20 ACCENT.
14. (g>, f, at the beginning of a syllable, has a sound between
that of z and 5 :
<Sofyn, ©itnbe, ftnb, gefunb, <Sanb, <Sumpf, <StegeI, fac^te, <5aoel.
1. Sdjlltft 8 (final g) instead of f is employed at the end of a syllable,
except when ff is used :
®a$, 9>ot3bam, auSfpredjen, roeiSfagen, jc, but SBafler, efl*en, *c.
2. The sound of f before p or t at the beginning of a syllable, as recog-
nized by German orthoepists, is between that of f dj and the lisping f ; for
this sound, however, there is an extensive provincial substitution of the
f $ sound :
<Spiel, ©pom, <Spra*e, (Stadjel, ©tanb, ©tuljl, auSfteflen, jler&en.
15. (S>(f), fdj sounds like sh :
<5d)Ub, ©djiff, rafd), £ifd), grofdj, ©djaf, fdjarf, £afd)e, mifaen.
16. X, t sounds like £ in tes£ ; in words taken from Latin or
French, { sounds like 3, when in English t sounds like sh :
£ert, %xt ; (Station' (pronounced Sto-Jl^on), station, Nation',
17. 95, t) sounds like / in fit ; in foreign words it sounds like v :
Setter, ©esat'ter ; Sene'big, $erfaiae$, 33anba'Ie, Vermont',
18. SB, tU has a sound between that of-w and v ; after a con-
sonant in the same syllable it sounds somewhat like w :
2Bdt, SBaffer, ©cfymaloe, fdjtmmmen, jtoet, grt>an3ig / jtt>in<$en.
19. Q, J sounds like ts :
Qaty, 3a$n, 3)clg, 3inn, 3tmmer, $oIji, 3ange, gtemen, gittern.
20 i $ (f° rme( i of f an d j) sounds like ss ) and never begin
) ty (formed of t and j) sounds like J i a word :
glujj, fltefjen, 3>lafc, nufclid), liej, *Ru§, 3>ufc, <5d)ufc, fla&e.
Accent. Accent.
21. Words take the primary accent on the first syllable,
unless otherwise noted :
<S^rup, 9>apier', geoen, verge'ben, potter, gefol'tert, barter, aemar'tert.
1. Tn words compounded with a separable particle (L. 42.), or with the
prefix Utt, the primary accent is on the first syllable :
aft fatten, afcgefaUen, tttta.efdl% ungettoljnltd), Utttudjtia,, Uttpaffenb.
CAPITAL INITIALS. 21
2. (gt final and also tt* (or itx), in verbs ending in ireit (or tcrcn), take
the accent :
©djreifcerei', XmUx', polt'ren, jhibi'ren, Tt^ft'ren, ntarfd)i'rett.
3. Foreign words that have dropped the original endings usually take
the accent on the last syllable :
2Tbmtral', eontrajV, Gontraff, Slltar', Salfon', <Earbmal\
4. Foreign words that have taken German endings are generally accent-
ed on the penult ; those that remain unchanged in form often retain the
original accent :
9fyot&e'fer, frcmao'fifd), Me'gtum, SJMnifte'rium, (Eonftjto'riunu
5. Other words are accented on the radical or primitive syllable, thus
corresponding to our words of Saxon origin :
SBtnbmuljle (windmill), greunbfcfyaft (friendship), »erfle'I)en (understand),
»erbit'ten (forbid).
iicbf n'btg is the only exception to this rule.
6. In German, as in English, the accent is often varied for the sake of
contrast or emphasis :
(£r ijl nid)t licfeljrt, fonbern ticrfe^rt. He is not converted, but averted.
©rofte Wnfangebudjftabcn. Capital Initials.
22. In German, capital initials are used 1. in nouns and
words used as nouns ; 2. in pronouns of the third person, used
for the second (L. l.); 3. in gcbcrmann, Semanb, and *Riemanb,
and in dttottS and 9Htf)t3 used substantively; 4. in (£m, as
distinguished from the article ; and 5. in adjectives derived from
names of 2)ersons and places (not of countries) :
£)er SKann l)6rt bad ©tngen bed £lei* The man hears the singing of the
neit. little (one).
3d) fef)c 3cmctnb ; cr fcrtngt mtr (£ttt>ad, I see somebody ; he brings me some-

23. There are in every language peculiar sounds which re-
quire to be repeatedly heard before they can be uttered, — heard
not only in disconnected articulations, but as modified in words,
pronounced both separately and in sentences. The only suc-
cessful guide of the voice to a correct pronunciation is a care-
fully educated ear.

COMPARATIVE VIEW OF GERMAN, ENGLISH, AND
OTHER COGNATE LANGUAGES.
Indo-European (Indo-Germanic or Aryan) is the usual desig-
nation of the great body of kindred nations which overran near-
ly all Southwestern Asia and the whole of Europe. Although,
as descendants of one common stock, they all shared originally
a common language, yet their different dialects gradually di-
verged into eight distinctive families or groups of languages,
one of which is the Teutonic (see pp. 309-318).
The Teutonic Family comprises the Gothic, the Germanic,
and the Scandinavian languages.
The cessation of Gothic as a vernacular language dates from
the overthrow of the Visigothic kingdom in Spain by the Ara-
bians A. D. 711.
The Germanic branch of the Teutonic family embraces High
German, Old Saxon, Friesic, Anglo-Saxon, Low German, Dutch,
and English.
High German is distinguished as Old High German from the 6th to the
12th centuries ; as Middle High German, from the 12th to the 16th ; and
as New High German (i. e. the present language of Germany), from the
16th.
The Scandinavian languages are Old Norse or Old Scandi-
navian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish.
The Teutonic languages are distinguished from all others of
the Indo-European families by the systematic changes of the
Mute Consonants, called " Lautverschiebung," Progression of
Mutes. The mute consonants of the Indo-European languages
are divided, according to the organs by which they are ex-
pressed, into Linguals (from Lat. lingua, tongue), t, d, dh ;
Labials (from Lat. labia, lips), p, b, bh ; and Gutturals (from
Lat. guttur, throat), k, g, gh. These consonants are classed as
1. surd mutes, t, p, k ; 2. aspirate mutes, dh, bh, gh ; and
3. sonant mutes, d, b, g. These mutes have undergone the
following changes :
Surd mutes (t, p, k) have become in the Teutonic languages aspirate (th, ph, kh).
Aspirate " (dh, bh, gh) have become in the Teutonic languages sonant (d, b, g).
Sonant mutes (d, b, g) have become in the Teutonic languages snrd (t, p, k).
RELATION OF GERMAN TO ENGLISH.
25
In Old High German, however, the progression has advanced
still another step ; the aspirate, sonant, and sui°d mutes having
become sonant, surd, aspirate, respectively, thus reaching the
limit, since a third step would bring them back to the degree
of the other Indo-European languages, surd, aspirate, sonant.
In Middle and New High German only the Linguals have
fully accepted the second step, while the Labials and Gutturals
have mostly gone back to the degree of the other Teutonic
languages.
For the aspirate mutes ph and kh the Teutonic languages have substi-
tuted the spirants f and h. The aspirate lingual th has disappeared in
High German, Low German, Dutch, and the modern Scandinavian lan-
guages ; in Old, Middle, and New High German, th, at the beginning of
a word, has given place to $ (z), in the midst or at the end of a word, in
Old High German, to z, in Middle High German, to z or zz, and in New
High German, to J, ft, ff, or §.
In accordance with these laws are deduced the following
results :

In the above table are grouped the Mute Consonants of
1. New High German and Old High German ;
2. Goth., Icel., A.-S., and Eng., representing the Teutonic languages,
except High German ; and
3. Greek, which represents all other Indo-European languages.
There are in the Teutonic languages besides the Mutes two
other classes of consonants, spirants and liquids. The spirants,
— lingual s (and in Eng. z), labial W and V, guttural j (and
in Eng. y), also f and h, as above stated, — have, as a rule,
remained unchanged in all Teutonic languages, or are wholly
dropped. The changes which the liquids (1, m, n, r) have
undergone are limited to a few exchanges (p. 26. 21., 22.) among
each other.

1 The appended numbers refer to figures in columns on pp. 26 and 27.
2 From the Ungual spirant the hissing sound fdj (Eng. ah) has been developed.
3 The labial spirant w in N. H. G. is often a contraction of h and w.
4 The guttural spirant j in N. H. G. occurs only as initial sound and generally answers
to y in English.
5 In N. H. G. as in Eng. the lingual spirant has in some instances been changed to r.
6 The liquid r in some words has been transposed.

2. The Masculine er, the final letter of the Feminine fie, and
the Neuter c3, are also the distinctive endings of the following
ten words, which may be appropriately called gender-ending
words :

©rttmmtttifd)eg. Grammatical.
1. The Genitive answers to the English Possessive and also
to the Objective governed by of. The endings both of the
gender-ending words (1. 2.) and of the possessive pronouns, &c.
(2. 1.) are :
C0, Masculine. tX, Feminine. c§, Neuter.
\tn-t%, lender, jen-cl.
memoes, member, memoes.
2. Most Masculine and Neuter nouns add t% (or §) in the
genitive, as given in vocabularies ; feminine common nouns are
unchanged: Norn. 9Jktttt, Gen.-t% f i. e. 9ttarme3, &c :
£e3 SBaterS (Segen. The father's blessing.
SBeldjeS Skrke'cfyenS if* er fdjulbig? Of what (which) crime is he guilty?
The Genitive may precede or follow its governing noun :
•£>aben <3te bCS £f$rtr£ 33ud) ? or Have you the teacher's book ? or
£aben @ie ba3 33ud) be§ £efyrer$ ? Have you the book of the teacher ?
3. When a noun without a qualifying word, and often with
an article, is used to denote time, it is in the genitive ; other-
wise, usually, in the accusative :
£>er Bug tt>irb 23ormtttag$ (or bC§ 35or= The train will arrive at seven o'clock
mittagS) urn fiekn tyx anfommen. in the forenoon.

4. Verbs in German have but a single form of conjugation in
each tense, while in English they have in the Present and Im-
perfect three forms, and in the other tenses two :
3d) fage ; I say ; I do say ;
38(10 fagen <5ie ? What say you ? What do you say ?
(£r fagte nid)t ; He said not ; He did not say ;

What are you saying ?
He was not saying.
She has been singing.
He will be writing.
5. There are many idiomatic expressions that do not admit
of a literal translation from one language into another. Some
of these are of frequent occurrence, and demand the early-
attention of the learner :

48 LESSON 7.
@rammattjif)C§. Grammatical.
1. The Dative answers mainly to the objective governed by a
preposition (4.).
The Dative endings of the gender-ending words (1. 2.) and
of the Possessive Pronouns, &c. (2. 1.) are:
Cm, Masculine. tt, Feminine. cm, Neuter.
jert-cm, fen-cr, jen-cm.
mein-cm, member, mem-cm.
The Dative of cr and e§ is if)tn ; that of fie is iljr.
2. Adjectives in the Dative, when preceded by a modifying
word (1. 2., 2. 1.), end in all genders in Ctt ; otherwise they
take the gender-endings (cm, cr, Clll, 1) :
3ft ber Mantel von Maueitt ©ammet, von Is the cloak' of blue velvet, of blue
Mauem Zufot ober von Waiter (Setbe? cloth, or of blue silk ?
SBa$ fagte er von bem blauCtt Sammet, What did he say of the blue, velvet,
bem Maueit Zufy? unb bet Mauet! of the blue cloth, and of the blue
<?etbe. silk ?
When a word which ends in el, en, Cr takes an additional syllable be-
ginning with e, one C is often dropped :
rfMc, for eit'dc; etMem, for ett=etem; ettet^n, for ettel=en ; &c.
eMte, for eocene ; eo=*ne3, for efr^eneS ; efc^nen, for efe^encn ; &c.
unf=re, for unf^ere ; unfer^m, for unfer^em ; unfer^n, for nnfer^cn ; &c.
3. The Dative precedes the Accusative when both cases are
governed by the same verb, except when the Accusative is a
Personal Pronoun :
£err <3temtt>a» fcfytcfte metnem Breunbe, Mr. Steinway sent my friend, Pro-
9)rofeffor £elmf)ol$, vorgeftern etnen fessor Helmholz, an excellent
ait$ge$etdjnete'n ^liigel. grand-piarto, day before yesterday.
Iter 3**ger verfewfte bem 23auer etnen The hunter sold the peasant a hare
£afen unb fdjtcfte tyn u)m. and sent it to him.
Of two nouns, however, both denoting persons, the Accusative, when
specially emphasized, may precede :
(£r ernvfal)! ben £>a tl+itmann bem ®ene*= He recommended the captain to the
ral, or bem ©eneral ben £auptmann. general.
INTERROGATIVE WORDS.
49
4. The Dative denotes that with reference to which anything
is or is done :
(£r ttctljm tfjm ba3 ©cfyroert.
(Er mad)te bcm Wlakx em ^Jult unb
fcfytcfte e$ tf)tn.
2)er £afe entfam' bcm £unbe.
He took the sword from him.
He made (for) the painter a desk,
and sent it to him.
The hare escaped (from) the dog.
5. The Dative is sometimes used instead of the Genitive case
or a Possessive Pronoun :
din <5d)u£ tobtete u)m bct3 $ferb.
2)em Jtonige rotrb etn Strut gerfcf>inet-
tert
A shot killed his horse.
The arm of the king (an arm to the
king) is shattered.
6. As the object of Prepositions and some Verbs, the Genitive
and Dative answer simply to the objective :
(ikben'fe betneS (£tbe3 !
2B£frenb bed (SommerS.
3$ banfe 3^nen; (Sie ^aben metnem

LESSON
®ramtnattfd)e0. Grammatical.
1. Nouns have three forms of inflection, called the Old, the
New, and the Mixed declensions.
1. Nouns ending in the gen. sing, in e§ or $ are of the Old Declension.
2. Nouns ending in the gen. sing, in cit or n are of the New Declension.
3. Nouns partly of the Old and partly of the Neio are of the Mixed Declension.
2. Nouns of the Old Declension, when ending in an accented
syllable, add cl in the genitive and e in the dative ; those hav-
ing the last syllable unaccented, ending in c or a liquid, are only
varied by adding 3 in the genitive.
1. The C of the dative is often omitted ; also sometimes the c of the
genitive, when the noun does not end in a sibilant letter.
2. The names of persons ending in 0, J, or in a similar sound, usually
take en0 in the genitive ; feminine names in t add ll$ ; others add g :
Nom. Sorenj, ©ufhw, SBityelm, Sui'fe, tact.
Gen. 2oren$*en3, @u|to»*3, 2Bityelm*3, £uife*n3, 3fnna=3.
3. Proper names omit the genitive ending, when that case is indicated
by another word :
Tie S3ereb'famfett ettteg (Etcerc. The eloquence of a Cicero.
2)a$ Set-en ber $5mgin Suife. The life of (the) Queen Louisa,
ftriebrtd) be$ Btvetten Steoje'rung. Frederic the Second's reign.
Old Declension of Nouns with the Definite Article.
Nom. ber Sftater, the painter.
Gen. beS 9Mer=g, the painter's.
Dat. bem Scaler, to, for the painter.
Ace. ben SWaler, the painter.
Nom. ber SSflann, the man.
Gen. be£ 9ftann*e£, the man's.
Dat, bem SRamve, to, for the man.
Ace. ben 3ftcmn, the man.
3. The Perfect Participle (in verbs of the New Form, 11. 1.)
is formed by suffixing t or et to the root, and to those accented
on the first syllable, prefixing ge :
tterfauf =en, to sell ; tterfauf^t, sold. I fauf^en, to buy ; Qthuf^t, bought.
&elieb'*en, to please ; klte&4, pleased. | lichen, to love ; gc4tef>4, loved.
baa ftinb,
the child.
be$ mnb*t§,
the child's.
bem iluuve,
to, for the child.
baa $mb,

POSITION OF SUBJECT AND VERB. 53
4. In Independent sentences, not beginning with the sub-
ject, the verb (in compound tenses the auxiliary) usually pre-
cedes the subject :
2)ort fteftt ber 3ager. Yonder stands the hunter.
£)ort jtefjt er. Yonder he stands.
Dft fyctt cr geltttert. - Often has he suffered,
©eftern war e3 fait. Yesterday it was cold.
$mte ift e$ Ijeijj. To-day it is (is it) hot.
ttnt), ttficr, affein, ttntl, fonbem, nihttltdj, Oiiet, are regarded as merely
connecting sentences, and hence they do not influence the collocation.
5. In Independent sentences the verb in the Present and
Imperfect tenses precedes the object (as in English) ; in other
tenses the auxiliary immediately follows the subject, and the
main verb comes last :
3d) Icfe bad 93ud). I am reading the book.
3d) fyafre e3 fd)on getefen. I have already read it.
(E3 i|t notfjtg, beittlid) ju fpredjen. It is necessary to speak distinctly.
6. In Subordinate sentences the verb is placed last; the
auxiliary, when used, following the main verb :
(Er fud)t etn 33udj, roetcfyeS i^ feabe. He is looking for a book that I have.
(Er f)at ba$ 33ud), tt>etd)e3 id) gelefen Ijafc. He has the book that I have read.
(Er fdjrtefc etnen 33ricf an fetnen SSater, He wrote a letter to his father while
tta'Ijreni) id) Me SCbenbpoft Ia3. I read the Evening Post.
7. Interrogative words (7. 7.), as in English, are also used
as relatives :
Interrogative. Relative.
2Bo ijt er ? (Setjen ©te md)r, roo er ift ?
Where is he ? Do you not see where he is ? '
SMdjer 9flamt roar |>ter ? Dtefer ift ber Mann, roetd)er fyter roar.
Which man was here ? This is the man who was here.
2Barum roar er r)ier ? (Er fagte nid)t, roarum er t)ier roar.
Why was he here ? He did not say why he was here.
2Bamt ftnrb er fommett ? <5agte er 3fjnen, roarm er fommert tturb ?
When will he come ? Did he tell you when he would (will) come ?
2£a$ bat er gefagt ? 3d) glauoe ntd)t, toad er gefagt fjat.
What has he said ? I do not believe what he has said.
2£te lernte biefer <5d)u(er ? 3d) fragte iljn, roie biefer (3d)itter lewte.
How did this scholar learn ? I asked him how this scholar learned.

£>ein ifi ba3 9?eid). Thine is the kingdom.
5?ennfl bu bad Sanb ? Knowest thou the land ?
Sinber, 3$r tyo&t genua/ gefptrit. Children, you have played enough.
3. When <2>te is used for the second person, the form of
Interrogative and Imperative sentences is the same, except that
with fetlt the imperative is fetCtt ©tC :
5?ommen <Ste Mb mieber ?
^omnteu ©te Balb nneber !
<5tnb ©ie ntubc ?
©eten ©ie nu)tg !
Are you coming again soon ?
Come again soon !
Are you weary ?

4. The pronouns of the first and second persons are also used
reflexively, answering to the compounds myself, ourselves, thyself,
yourselves :
3d) fcfm'ne mid) ; ttnr fceftn'neit un3. I bethink myself ; we bethink ourselves.
PRESENT AND IMPERFECT OF HABEN AND SEIN.

There is, however, a frequent deviation from the above order, especially
when long adverbial expressions are used :

USE OF TENSES AND INFINITIVE. 61
2. The Present Tense, often with an adverb, is used to
denote the past time of a still continuing action or state, where
in English the Perfect is used :
3$ ttarte fd)on etne ganje ©hmbe auf I (wait) have already waited a whole
©te. hour for you.
3d) Bin fdjott em 3a$r in biefem I have been (already) a year in this

nctt. month.
2)iefer ©turm ttmtfjet fdjon »ier unb This storm has already raged twenty-
$n>an$tg ©tunben. four hours.
3. The Present Tense is often used for the Future, or to
indicate purpose or ability :
3d) roarte Wo3 etne ©tunbe auf ©te. I shall wait only an hour for you.
3d) nef)tne ©te gent nttt, ofcer id) toarte I will gladly take you with me, but

PLAN OF COMPOSING GERMAN. 63
Plan of Composing German.
This plan, although essentially the same as originally pre-
sented in the author's New Method with German,- has been ar-
ranged in the present work with a view to its earlier and more
general application. The art of "thinking in a foreign lan-
guage " — which is indispensable to its ready use — can only
be acquired, as in one's native language, by the habit of as-
sociating the peculiar forms of the language with the cor-
responding thoughts. In applying this plan, any German sen-
tence, within the scope of preceding rules, may be made a model
for the practice of the class in forming similar sentences com-
posed either wholly or in part of other words. This process,
while serving as a practical and impressive review of previous
Lessons, enables the learner to avoid the common and natural
error of turning English modes of thought and expression into
merely literal German.
The manner in which sentences may be varied, or new ones formed, is
sufficiently indicated in the following examples :
2Md)Cr 9Jtonn iff retcf) unb welder $cann ijt arm ? (STufga&e 1., <3a£ 4.)
Substitute $rau or 5?inb for Wtann (2Betcf)C $rau iff retd) unb tt>efcf)e grau ijt

for roeldjer (Dtefcr 3flann ijt retcf) unb jener $cann iff arm ; or luefe %xau iff retd)
unb jene grau iff arm ; or 2)tcfe$ ftinb, &c.) ; or jufrieben and tmjufrieben for
reid) and arm, &c. (2Belcf)er 9)iann ijt gufrteben unb writer SDcann if} unjufriebett ?
or £iefer 9Jcann, &c. ; or SBefdje ftxau, &c).
3encr angenefjme £err, jene liefcenSrourbtgc £)ame unb jcne£ gute $inb toofjnen in
3)armftabt. (Stufgabe 5., <Safc 11.)
Substitute 5tnak for £err, fein for jene and jeneS, ©djroefter for £>ame, and
©ruber for $inb (Setter angenefmte $nabe, feme IiefeenSwurbige <Scr>tt>efter unb fein
gutcr 23ruber tt>of)nen in 1)armftabt) ; or, substitute other adjectives for ange*
nefmt, licbenSWurbia,, and gut ; or, any other place or country for £>armftabt ; &c.
£)er SBacfer serfaufte tier $rau bag ©rob. (Sfufgafce 14., <Sa^ 12.)
Substitute flaufmann for 33acfer, metne <Sd)mefter for bte $rau, and <3etbe for
93rob (Der tafmann tterfaufte meiner @A»efler iltc <3eibe) ; or, retaining these
changes, substitute biefer for ber, fd)icfen for serfaufen, and jeneS for ba$, thus
forming a wholly new sentence (Diefer tafmann fcf)tcfte meiner <Scf)tt>efter jene
<£etbe); &c.

Grammatical.
1. There are two Forms of Conjugation, the Old and the
flew. Verbs of the Old Form are usually called, except by
German authors, Irregular; and those of the New, Regular.
Only verbs of the New Form (10. 1.), as being much the more
numerous and simple, are conjugated in the preceding lessons.
2. The following twenty verbs of the Old Conjugation form
their present tense like those of the New :
bewe'gen,
fommen,
fallen,
fdmaubett,
fatten,
mafyfen,
faugcn,
fcfyrauben,
gene'fen,
melfen,
Waffcn.
fcfyroten,
fyauen,
pflegen,
fcfyaflen,
fpaltett,
fyeben,
rufen,
fdjeren,
tueben.
3. Other verbs of the Old Form, having the root vowel 0, 0,
or ait, differ from those of the New in the second and third
persons singular, by taking the umlaut ; and those having the
root-vowel c change it to t, except in befefy'fen, empfelj'len,
gefd)e'l)en, tefen, fefyen, ftefylen, which change c to it.
id) fd)fafe, I sleep.
t»U fdjlafjl, thou sleepest.
er fd)ltift, he sleeps.
toix fcfylafett, we sleep,
ifyr fcfolaft, you sleep,
fie fdjlafett, they sleep.
Present Tense.
id) ejfe, I eat. ltd) febe, I see.
t>u tjfeft, thou eatest.jbu ftebft, thou seest.
er iffet (t£r), he eats,
rotr effcn, we eat.
ty* e £rt/ y° u eat -
fie effen, they eat.
er ftefyt, he sees.
mv fefyett, we see.
Ujr fefyt, you see.
fie feljen, they see.
4. In the Imperfect Tense the Old Form changes the root
vowel, and in the first and third persons singular takes no
CONJUGATION OF VERBS.
67
personal-endings ; in the other persons, it takes those of the
Present Tense.
5. In the Old Conjugation the Perfect Participle has the
form of the Infinitive, except that in most verbs the root vowel
is changed j in the New Conjugation the Perfect Participle is
formed by suffixing t (or et) to the root (8. 3.) ; both Forms
take the augment gc before accented syllables only.
6. Old and New Conjugations compared.

7. By the aid of rules and examples already given, the
learner can form the imperfect tense and perfect participle of
the New Conjugation from the infinitive. For the imperfect
tense and perfect participle of verbs of the Old Form, see Lists
L. 30 &c, and pp. 262-271. The following are a few of the verbs
of the Old Form :

tion :
(£3 tjr gar ttidjt fitter. It is not at all difficult.
SBenn er itkrfyaupt gel)t, ge-f)t er rjeute. If he goes at all, he will go to-day.
3. 9itlf)t Umfjr, or tudjt (like it est ce pas), is the equivalent
of many forms of interrogation after an assertion. Sometimes
!titf)t tottljr precedes the assertion :
(E3 ift fait, "I It is cold, is n't it ?
(£3 ift ntd)t fait, I ? It is not cold, is it ?

9tetfe! (3d) roitttfd)e 3ynen einen pleasant journey ! (I wish you
guten $7orgen, ic.) a good morning, &c.)
After an assertion a subject is often used elliptically, where in English
the main verb is represented by an auxiliary :
(£r ftngt, tdraudj. He sings, so do I (I too).
<&k gef)en, td) ntd)t. They are going, I (am) not.
3cr> fenne u)n, @ie ntcfyt ? I know him, (do) not you ?

(Effen ©ic gem £>ontg ? Do you like (eat gladly) honey «
©tngen @ic gem ? Do you like to sing (do you sing gladly) ?
(£r rcitet gent. He likes to ride on horseback.
(£r if* gent diem. He likes to be alone.
^8. ($cfaffctt, to please, suit, having for its subject the word
answering to the object of like, and the object of like being
rendered by the German equivalent in the dative, also often
answers to like :
£>iefe$ $ferb gefaflt mtr. I like this horse (this horse suits me).
Xicfc IHu- gcfdllt mtr fet)r. 1 like this watch very much.
2)iefer Sting gefdllt mtr feeffcr, aid jener. « I like this ring better than that.
9. The verb ictbcit (endure), with an auxiliary, is often used
in the sense of to like :
3d> fann tlm ntd)t letben. I do not like (cannot endure) him.
3d) mag it)n gut letben. I like (can endure) him very well.
10. Adjective words, also Adjectives used substantively,
often answer to those in English used adjectively with the
pronoun one:
Tie fed $ferb ift jung, jened tji alt. " This horse is young, that one is old.
3d) f)ak em junged 5>ferb, bu em alted. .. I have a young horse, you an old otic.
11. dStgcit (own) is often used to indicate possession, without
the possessive pronoun :
Sr t)at etn etgeneS 3)ferb. He has a horse of his own.
2Btr fjafcen fetn etgened ©e(b. We have no money of our own.
■- 12. Gfclint, used impersonally, indicates existence in a gen-
eral and indefinite manner, and is rendered to be, the object in
German being the subject in English :

2. The Possessive Pronouns (2. 1.) are declined like cut.
The Possessive Pronoun tfjr of the third person plural, like the Personal
Pronoun of the same number (1. 4.), is substituted for the second person,
and written with a capital initial :
©d)vet6en @te 3(>ren SBrief nut 3fyrem Are you writing your letter with
Sletfttft ? your pencil ?
3. . The following are the Interrogative Pronouns :
2Bcr? who? 2Ba§ fiiv? what kind of?
28a§? what? SBeldjer? which? what?
SBcr and to Jig are declined as follows :

4. Indefinite Pronouns are :
3cbermamt, everybody.
3emanb, somebody, anybody.
9?tentanb, nobody, not anybody.
Who is he ? He is a painter.
' What kind of a painter is he ?
A landscape-painter.
Which landscape-painter ?
GctroaS, something, anything.
9cid)t3, nothing, not anything.
Ttan (French on), one, they.
The first three of these pronouns are usually inflected like nouns of the
Old Declension, though the forms 3emanben, Sfttemanben sometimes occur in
the dative and accusative. SSftan, md)t$, and ettt>a3 are indeclinable.
84 LESSON 15.
5. 9Watt is used only as the subject of a verb, and may some-
times be rendered one ; but frequently the active verb, of which
Utatt is the subject, is best rendered by the corresponding pas-
sive, the object of the former being the subject of the latter :
3J?an lofct if)tt. He is praised. One praises him.
9Ran fennt u)n ntdjt. He is not known. One does not know him.
9ft cm fctcjt (French, on dit). It is said. One says (they say).
6. Nouns used in a general or indefinite sense are not pre-
ceded by a word corresponding to any or some :
£ctfren <3ie Buder ? Have you (any or some) sugar ?
3d) fyabt 2ftef)l gefauft. I have bought some flour.
7. $tlflrt£, in the sense of some, somewhat, a little, is often
used before nouns and adjectives ; tuddjcr, in the sense of
some (an indefinite quantity), is used in place of a previously
expressed noun :
(Er |at nod) etttaS ©elb ; fte Ijctt aud) He has still some money ; she also
tt)eld)c$. lias some.
(&$ ttrirb ettoaS fuf)l. It is becoming somewhat cool.
-" 8. The Subordinating Conjunctions are those which require
the same construction as do the relative pronouns (8. 6.) ; the
following are the principal ones :
aU, bafi, inbem',
bettor', ba, itad)bem\
&tS, falls, ofr,
3d) traue tijtn, tteit i^ wetjj, ba§ er reb= I trust him, because I know that he

2. Nouns of the New Declension, ending in an accented syl-
lable, form the oblique cases by adding t\l ', those ending in
unaccented e, by adding tt.

various foreign nouns, ending in an accented syllable :
Der Sotte, the lion. Der D$$ or Dd)fe, the ox.
Dei £afe, the hare. Der Kbft&tf , the lawyer.
3. Many foreign nouns ending in flr, as ^aftor, Softer,
^rofejfor, &c, and the following list, belong to the Mixed De-
clension, i. e. in the sing, to the Old, in the plur. to the New :
5D« 2l()n, ancestor.

5. Most German verbs, like the one English verb to be, have
in the Imperfect Tense a distinct form, to indicate doubt, con-
tingency, or conditionally :
Indicative Form.

Grammatical
1. Diminutives are formed by suffixing to a noun the sylla-
ble i?jett or leitt. (Provincial forms are el, U, elicit.) They
usually take the umlaut, if capable of it, and are of the neuter
gender :
£>er glujj, the river ; ba3 fttitpctyen, the rivulet.
2) A3 £amm, the lamb ; ba$ £ammcf)cn, the lambkin.
2)er Rnahe, the boy ; bad ftnabkin, the little boy.
djcit often indicates affection or familiarity :
Steal, Charles ;
Sautter, mother :
$arld)en, Charley.
2tt utter d)en, dear mother.
2. 9Jiamtrf)Clt and SSetbdjett are used to indicate the gender
of animals for which there is but a single noun :

COMPOUND NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES. 105
4. The formation of compound adjectives is analogous to
that of nouns :
1 . adjectives with nouns :
Saumjiarf, very strong ; ber 23aum, tree ; ftarf, strong.
SWenfdjenfdjeu, bashful ; ber Sftenfdj, man ; fdjeu, timid.
2. adjectives with adjectives :
^retimmg, liberal ; fret, free ; ftnrrig, sensible,
©ropmiitfug, magnanimous ; grof}, great ; nutu)tg, spirited.
3. adjectives with numerals :
(Einfylfctg, monosyllabic ; em, one ; (fyHng).
Broeibeuttg, ambiguous ; $Wei, two ; (beutig)*
4. adjectives with verbs :
£)enffaui, intellectually indolent ; benfen, to think ; few!, idle.
©tngutjltg, fond of singing ; • ftngen, to sing ; lufttQ, glad.
5. adjectives with adverbs :
3mmer£rim, evergreen ; tmmer, always ; grim, green.
Slblettbar, derivable; ah, away; (lettfcar).
6. adjectives with prepositions :
-^intcrltfttg, deceitful ; fjinter, behind ; IifKg, crafty.
33ortt>ij}ig, over-etrrimis ; vor, before ; roijMg, witty.
5. The 1st component of compound words has the primary
accent. In compound nouns the last word determines the
gender :
$cr 23tumengarteit, the flower-garden.
$ie ©artenblume, the garden-flower.
6. The following example is cited by Becker, as illustrating
the enormous extent to which the practice has been pushed, of
forming long compounds :
®taat$fd)utbentttpng3faffenbu$t)alter. State-debt-extinction-fund-book-keeper.

2. Adjectives, when placed before nouns (3. 1.) to in-
dicate a quality or attribute, are said to be used attribu-
tively, and have then three forms of Declension, called the
Old, the New, and the Mixed. When not preceded by a
modifying word (1. 2. ; 2. 1.), they are of the Old Declension ;
preceded by a gender-ending word (1. 2.), of the New Declension ;
and preceded by em, nteitt, &c. (2. 1.), of the Mixed Declension.

3. Adjectives after the plurals of after, etrtiger, ettidjer, matt=
cfyer, folder, writer, and fein (1. 2.; 2. 1.), and also after anbere,
etiijehie, mefyre (or mefyrere), Stele, and wenta,e, usually follow the
Old Declension in the nominative and accusative, and sometimes
in the genitive :
Norn. 9We gute (or guten) fWenfdjcn. All good men.
Gen. Slflcr guten (or guter) 2flenfd)cn. Of all good men.
Norn, Slnbere gute (or guten) greunbe. Other good friends.
Gen. Sfnberer guten (or guter) $reunbe. Of other good friends.
4. Exceptionally the adjective is found in the Old form after
afier, eintijer, etlid)er, mandVr, fold)er, and wtlfytx, and in the
New form after dicier, wcntgcr, anfcerer, and some perfect par-
ticiples not preceded by a modifying word :
SWancfyer armcr (arme) SBtotm. Many a poor man.
golgenbcr furje (furjer) &ttfTa$. The following short essay.
5. The adjective, when preceded by the abbreviated form
tUtlttd), fold), UJCld), assumes the usual gender-endings of those
words :
SKand) gutter SWann ; instead of )
W<m$*tt gut^-e Warm. \ Man ^ a S ood man -
<£ofd) grob^eS £ud) ; instead of
, Such coarse cloth.
Sol<$*e« grot^e £ud).
SBeld) f$5n*e$ Setter; instead of ) „„ ,,.,/,
an. u a m on « i > what (which) beautiful weather.
SBcldnS |d)on^e 2Better ! )
6. Where several adjectives in the dative qualify the same
noun, all but the first often take, for euphony's sake, U instead
of m :
23on fd)onettt, gefunbett, frafttgett S3au. Of beautiful, healthy, strong build.
Sflit flarettt, retnen, fatten Suffer. ' With clear, pure, cold water.
7. Adjectives, though used attributively, are sometimes not
inflected, and never, when following the noun and not preceded
by the article :
Silan SRotanb. S3aar ©elb. Little Roland. Ready money.
S3iel 3Renf$ett, ft'alt Saffer. Many men. Cold water,
©in od)to£, fo Ijod) unb Ijefyr. A castle so high and sublime.

(abbreviated torm), ctlt follows it :
Sin foldjer Wlam, or fold) ein ?D?ann. Such a man.
9. When foldjcr is preceded by cm, an adjective following it
is of the Mixed Declension :

114 LESSON 21.
©rammattfdjd. Grammatical
1. Adjectives are compared by adding to the Positive degree
cr, to form the Comparative, and eft, or ft p to form the Super-
lative :
Positive. Comparative. Superlative.
milt), mild; milt^er, milder; mUt^eft, mildest
fein, fine ; fein=er, finer ; fetn-fr^ finest.
The endings el, ett, tt drop the e in the comparative (7. 2. ett4e, &c.) :
ettel, vain ; ett4 s Cr, vainer ; tittUft, vainest.
ebCtt, even ; eb^er, evener ; eben*ft, evenest.
bitter, bitter ; bitt^er, bitterer ; bttter*fi, bitterest.
2. The positive, when ending with a lingual, forms the
superlative by adding eft ; with other consonant-endings, it
adds only ft :
fit§, sweet ; fitter, sweeter ; fufceft, sweetest,
tout, loud ; tourer, louder ; laut*eft, loudest,
fiolb, kind ; $olb*er f kinder ; $olb*eft r kindest,
berb, firm ; berb^er, firmer ; berb^ft, firmest,
ret*, rich ; reiser, richer ; reid)=fi, richest,
fteif, stiff ; jtetf^er, stiffer ; jletf-ft, stillest.
Rein, small ; fletn^er, smaller ; f(eiu=jt, smallest,
la&m, lame ; U$m*tt, lamer ; toljm^fl, lamest.
3. When the positive ends in an accented vowel-sound, it
adds either eft or ft in the superlative. A few, in unaccented e,
add only r in the Comparative, and ft in the Superlative :
freb, glad ; frob^er, gladder ; frob^eft (or f}), gladdest,
fret, free ; fret^cr, freer ; fret^eft (or ft), freest,
ttetfe, wise ; toetfe-f, wiser ; roetfe-=fl, wisest,
bofe, bad ; bbjVr, worse ; bbfe^fi, worst.
4. In Adjectives of one syllable &, fl, U usually take the
umlaut : s
alt, old ; dither, older ; dtt^eft, oldest.
gro§, large ; grower, larger ; §vb$*tft (or grip), largest,
fur,}, short ; flir^er, shorter ; fitr^efl, shortest.
COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES. 115
5. The following Adjectives are of irregular comparison :
gut, good ; Differ, better ; fief}, best.
Ijod), high ; pfjer, higher ; pdjft, highest.
nal>e, near ; ttftfcr, "nearer ; nod) fit, nearest.
»tel, much ; IttCljr, more ; tttCtft, most.
$0dj, as in the comparative pfjcr, drops the c in the positive, when used
attributively :
2)er Oitgi tft em (joljer 23erg.. The Rigi is a high mountain.
6. Instead of the regular form of the superlative, preceded
by the article, the dative, preceded by am (an bent), is often
used :
2)te Sage ftnb tm (in bem) SSinter attt The days are the shortest in the
Ftirgejien. winter.
SBantl liegt ber (Sconce ttltt f)od)ftett ? When is the snow the deepest ?
£er 9(Mcr f(tegt ttttt f)5d)jlen unb Oltt The eagle flies the highest and the
fdmeUften. swiftest.
7. To the superlative the genitive plural aUtt is often
prefixed :
(£3 tft bag aflerkfle or am aUttkfon. It is the best of all.
(Em tttterltefrfteS Sliab, A most lovely child.
8. The superlative is used absolutely in its simplest form
when compounded with the suffix eit£, and when preceded by
piVX (}tt bent) or tm (tit bem) in the dative, or emfS (auf bag) in
the accusative neuter :
<£r grufct pfltdjfl. i--'_
ft grufn aufg ftoftiififfc. j He 8 reets most P olltely '
(Er ifj ntetjteitS in #aufe. He is mostly at home.
^ fcelajtigt mid) nidjt tltt QertngftCtt. It does not burden me in the least.
9. An Adverb or Adjective, in the positive degree, is often
preceded by a positive or superlative :
Gr if! unftCiuein Mfltd). He is uncommonly polite.
©r griigt ungemcitt fyofltdj. He greets uncommonly politely.
2)a3 ©lid) tit aufjcrfi uttereffaitt. The book is extremely interesting.
116 LESSON 22.
10. Two qualities of the same object are compared (as in
English) by using an adverb with the adjective in its simple form :
(Er ift meljr tajlfer, al« f(ltg. He is more brave than prudent.
(£r ift toniigtr tttjlfcr, aU f(U0. He is less brave than prudent.
©c ift e&cnfo tttjlfer, oU flug. He is as brave as prudent.
11. Adjectives, in all degrees of comparison, are subject to
the same rules of declension.
12. Participles, when used adjectively, follow the same rules
of comparison and declension as the adjectives, except that they
omit the umlaut, and add, in the superlative, ft instead of eft :
<£in riif)rcnt)Crc§ @d)aufptet. A more touching spectacle.
2)ag TUljrfnfofite <5d)aufptet. The most touching spectacle.
13. With je — JC, JC — fcefite, or je — um fo, the verb
which follows the second comparative precedes the subject :
3e langer, je liefcer. The longer, the better.
$t l)5^er man ftcf)t, fcefio tiefer fann The higher one stands, the lower
man fallen. one can fall.
3e efyer cr fommt, ttttl fo XteOer ift eg The sooner he comes, the better I

©rammattfdjeS. Grammatical.
1, Adjectives and Participles are often used substantively,
where in English they are followed by a noun (use of capital
initials, p. 21) :
£)er SSftiibe mu§ ruljen. The tired (man) must rest.
S)iefer 2)entfd)e ift em ©elefyrter. This German is a learned man.
SJtefer ©elef)rte tfl etn £eutfd)er. This learned man is a German.
1)tefe (Sdngcrin iji eine 2)eutfd)e. This singer is a German.
ADJECTIVES USED SUBSTANTIVELY.
119
2. Adjectives, used as nouns and referring to persons, often
omit the article in the plural, but never in the singular :
T>k Stolgen ftnb tfeoridjt.
SUte kaudjen ttentger <Sd)laf, aid
3unge.
£er 2Betfefte ttcip ntdjt Silled.
The proud are foolish.
(The) old need less sleep than (the)
young.
The wisest (man) does * not know
everything.
3. Adjectives, as in English, are used as abstract nouns
those denoting a language or a color, often without inflection :
2) ad <Sd>5ne, rote bad SRufclitye, ifl un=
ferer SBUbung unent&efyrltdj.

(What is) unjust, no noble heart en-
I can not give you the (nearer) par-
ticulars.
Without further ado.
1. After cttt>a§, tO&§, and litd)t$, adjectives used as abstract nouns take
the Old Form ; the pronominal words being written with small initials
(54. 12.) :
<Sie fpred)en tton etmad 9f euem.

<£r fajjt ntd)td <£d)led;te3.
You speak of something new.
What have you new ?
He says nothing bad.
2. The superlative SBcfJe often answers to good, benefit, &c, and with
ija&ftt or fjalteit indicates to fool, excite merriment, to dupe, &c. :

GJrammattfdjcg. Grammatical.
1. The Prepositions an, ctuf, Ijttttcr, in, ttektt, ufeer, itttter,
feOV, ^tutfajftt, when used to express transition or change of
relative position, govern the Accusative, otherwise the Dative :
Ace. 3>er Bug ge^t fitter fcttS ®e* The train goes behind the moun-
Mrge. tains.
Dat. 2)er Bug gc^t Ijtntcr fcCf Sofo* The train goes behind the locomo-
mott'sc. tive.
Ace. (£r gtng ttlt fottS gfotftaf. He went to the window.

Ace. @r gef)t liber ben gflug. . He is going over the river.
Ace. (Bit fd>retOt on tljre £cmte. She is writing to her aunt.
1. The above prepositions, when used with flcfjbl'Clt, are regarded as
indicating transition, and are hence construed with the accusative :
2>tefer £ija) flCprt in fcttS anbre Bim* This table belongs in (into) the other
raer. room.
2. 3(uf and ubtt, when not referring to locality, generally require the
accusative :
(Er ift Wfe OUf mid). He is angry at me.
<&k ttunberten ft<$ lifter fcin ©lurt. They wondered at his fortune.
132
LESSON 24.
2. A Preposition with the definite article, in the dative or
accusative, is often contracted into one word :

3. The use of adverbs compounded with prepositions is
much more common than in English :
#icrnttt fenbe id), unb fo fort. Herewith I send, and so forth.
Sfiouon fprcd)en <Sie? Of what (whereof) do you speak ?
$HDOn iwijj id), Ijtertion nid)t. Of that I know, of this d do) not.
4. ©tg (till, until) indicates a limit or restriction, and, before
other particles, is variously rendered :
How far (to whither) is he going ?
He is going as far as the bridge.
How soon will the tailor make the
coat and the vest ?
%i$ fooljitt ge^t er ?
@r gel?t Mg tttt tie ©ruffe.

(Er n>trb (ie Dig ntorgen Slfcenb mafytn

He will be able to make them by
to-morrow evening.
5. (£rfl, as an adverb, indicates a limitation or exclusion, and
answers to not until, not before :
(Er n)irb erft morgen anfommen. He will not arrive before to-morrow.
6. 9HlJ)t djcr, dig Mg (not sooner than till) is often the
equivalent of not till :
(Er ttirb ttidjt Cfjcr auSgefjen, dig Bil He will not (sooner) go out (than)
er feine Stufgabe gefefyrteben §at. till he has written his exercise.

PERSONAL AND REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS. 135
©rammattfdjeS. Grammatical.
1. (£3 (like it) may refer to nouns of either gender or num-
ber ; but in German the logical subject controls the person
and number of the verb, and, when a personal pronoun, pre-
cedes the verb :
2Ber €fl c3 ? . 3d) fetje, roer e£ ill. Who is it ? I see who it is.
(E3 tft etn alter $reunb toon mix. It is an old friend of mine.
(£3 finb imfere alten ft-reunbe. It is our old friends.
(Er tft e3 ; voir ftnb etf. It is he ; it is we.
The use of the verb in the singular, having as its subjects two or more
nouns in the singular, is more common than in English :
£)er ©trorn, baS 2tteer, ba$ ©alj gefyort The stream, the sea, the salt be-
bem $onig. long(s) to the king.
£>etn ifi ba<3 ^tetd), bie $raft unb bie Thine is the kingdom, and the
£ervltaM'ett. power, and the glory.
2. ($£ is often used expletively, and, when requiring trans-
lation, answers to our expletive there :
(S§ tft Sfttcmanb ba. There is nobody there.
(5$ roarert jttoei Btembe ba. There were two strangers there.
($8 (eudjtet ber Sflonb, eg gtdnjen bie The moon is shining, the stars are
Sterne. glittering.
(50 nTartet 3emanb auf un3. There is somebody waiting for us.
- 3. ($3 often stands in place of a previously used noun or ad-
jective, and is rendered one or so ; after ttuffeit, it often does
not admit of translation :
(£r tft (Sdjmteb, aoer id) out t§ ntd)t. He is a smith, but I am not one
3ft cr (ner ? 3d) roetft e§ ntd)t. Is he here ? I do not know (it).
2Btr ftnb ntd)t Sltle glcid), unb fonnen eg We are not all alike, and cannot
ntd)t fetn. be so.
4. After nouns, and relating to them, a personal pronoun is
sometimes added :
<2o totetet Sd)roeben eble3 23tut, eg tft The noble blood of so many Swedes,
urn @oIb unb <3tlbcr ntd)t (tefloffen. (it) has not flowed for gold or silver,
Unb bie Suacnb, fie tft fetn tcerer And Virtue (it) is not an empty
(£d)atl. sound.
136 LESSON 25.
5. When the subjects of a plural verb are of different persons,
the first person is preferred to the second, and the second to the
third ; after nouns and pronouns in the singular, a plural pro-
noun is employed referring to all the preceding ones :
(£r unb id) fafjen e$. He and I saw it.
£>u unb cr faljet e$. Thou and he saw it.
£)u, er unb id), ttnr fefcen e3. Thou, he and I (we) see it.
6. The genitive, when referring to individuals, is often used
like the French en before numerals :
(£r Ijat bret SBriiber unb id) II a trois freres et moi He has three brothers
Ijak tljrcr nur etnen. je rien ai qu'un. and I have only one.
7. Stdj (9. 6.), after a preposition, is often best rendered by
a personal pronoun :
£at er feine XCyt kt ftd) ? Has he his watch with him ?
8. ScHlfi, being always used to add emphasis, may be ren-
dered 1. by own, when following a reflexive pronoun; 2. by a
compound personal pronoun {myself, &c), when following an-
other pronoun ; and 3. otherwise by , even :
SBer fennt ftd) f cl&ft ? Who knows himself (one's own self) ?
2>tdj fdbfi lobt er, akr ntdjt betnett You yourself he praises, but not
23ruber. your brother.
<ScH)j} feine $einbe ctd)ten iljn. Even his enemies esteem him.
9. The Reflexive Pronouns, where the meaning is obvious,
are often used instead of the reciprocal pronoun etttattber, and
sometimes with it :
@ie lokn ftd) (or ftd) etncmber). They praise each other.
10. In Interrogative sentences, Reflexive and Personal Pro-
nouns, in the oblique cases, are often placed between the verb
and the subject :
SBte kfinbet ftd) 3k $reunb ? How does your friend do ?
Sok u)n fetn Sefyrer ? Does his teacher praise him ?

Grammatical.
1. A Possessive Pronoun, when used with a noun or an
adjective, is conjunctive possessive; when used alone, absolute
possessive :
SReut 23ucf) iff neu, fetneS tfi alt. My book is new, his is old.
2. Absolute Possessive Pronouns have three forms which
are used indiscriminately. The first form is declined like btcfct
(14. 1.) ; the second and third forms, like an adjective of the
New Declension (20. 2.) :
Singular. Plural.
Feminine. Neuter. All Genders.
metne, meineS, metne.

or ba$ meinige) ift alt.
Your book is new, mine is old.
140 LESSON 26.
3. The Possessive Pronoun tljr, when used predicatively,
takes the gender-endings ; other possessive pronouns thus used
take the gender-endings only when the grammatical subject is
t£ and the logical subject is not a neuter noun :
2Bem gefyoren ber £ut, btc Sttiifce unb ba3 23anb ?
2*i $«t ift mets, or (£3 ift metner.
£te 5flufce fji mein, or (£$ ifl meine.
S5ad 23anb ift mem, or (£3 ifl: metne0 (or metn),
2>emt Detn ifl baa ditid) unb tie $raft.
4. A Possessive Pronoun, used substantively, often denotes
one's family or subordinates, and in the neuter, one's property
or obligation :
Sftorgen felje idj bie meinen (or bie mei= To-morrow I shall see mine (or my
ntgen) ttriebcr. family) again.
3eber »er!anott' ba<S feme (or fctntge). ' Every one desires his own.
Garbinal', idb, haht ba3 mcinigc getijan ; Cardinal, I have done my duty (I
tfyun ^Sie ba<3 3ljre ! have done mine) ; do yours !
5. The Genitive singular mctttcS, betltel, f eme£, tljrcS, of the
Possessive Pronouns, and the Genitive plural fccr, of the Definite
Article, are often prefixed to the indeclinable gfcttfjCU ; some-
times g(etd)C1t stands apart, and then begins with a capital :
2Ber in bcm Somite' ift meine3gteid)en ? Who in the committee is my equal?
2)a3 Sejle babet ift, ber $erl halt <3ie The best thing about it is, the fel-
fiir feineS ©leid)en. low takes you for his peer.
3Roit mug bergteickn $f)aten fjinterfjer One should not afterwards view the
md)t fo befcfyauen. like deeds so critically.
6. (&in and $cttt, when used substantively, take gender-
endings, and are declined like btcfet. In the neuter the e is
frequently dropped ; thus, (£m§ for @incS,'&etn£ for ^CtltCg :
@iner fcgeljrt, »ad ben Slnbern kfd)tt)ert. One desires what annoys another.
3d) haht gn>ei 23itd)er, er Ijat (£tn$ unb I have two books, he has one, and
fie hat $ein$. she has none.
7. (£ut, when preceded by the definite article, is declined like
an adjective of the New Declension :
2)cr Sine begeljrt, road ben Slnbern be* (The) one desires what annoys the
fd)»ert. other.

1. The Relative Pronouns are tocldjer, foeldjc, toeldjeS; ber,
tlie, bill, and the indeclinable and nearly obsolete ffl. $er,
fcte, bllS is declined as follows :
Singular. Plural.
Neut. All Genders.
ba§, bie, who, which, that.
beffen, beren, whose, of which, of that.
bem, benen, to, for whom, to, for which.
ba3, bie, whom, which, that.
2. $Ct as relative is never used with a nonn ; the genitive of
toeld)er, never without a noun. 23Bcld)er is declined like btefer
(14. 1.) and the other gender-ending words :
(Etnen Sflenf&en, h>el(frer (or ber) fHefyft, A man who steals is called a

ftift <3ie fyakn, ill febr aufmcrffam. you have is very attentive.
3. A relative sentence often requires, as in English, to be
placed between the Subject and Predicate of an independent one :
Subject of Ind. Sent. Relative Sentence. Predicate of lnd. Sent.

LESSON 28.
4. When the antecedent is in the first or second person, the
verb agrees with the relative in the third, or a personal pronoun
is used after the relative :

W !
T>a$ tr»if7en h>ir, bie txur tie ©emfen
jagen.
What can I do, who myself am

previously expressed noun :

einem 9)lan ; son bem rotr 9Ud)t3 »a> belongs to a plan of which we

£)en (Spdfjer, ben bu auSgefenbet (f)ajt), The explorer whom you have sent
-£>err, erMicf id) ttteberfefjrenb. out, sir, I see returning.
7. 23Ser and foa3 are sometimes employed, though rarely,

2. ^erjCtUJJC is followed by a relative pronoun, and is
variously rendered he, she, that, the one, those, &c. :
2)erjemge, ber ftolj tfi, i|t tt)5rid)t. He who is proud, is foolish. -
SDfcjemgen, tt>eld)e nadUdfftg (tub, fi3n^ Those who are negligent cannot
nen unmogltd) »iel Ierncn. possibly learn much.
$ermetbe benjentgen 3Jtomt, ber Iad)elt, Avoid that man who smiles when
tt>enn er jorntg \% he is angry.
3. For berjentfle bet is often substituted, in which use, with
nouns, it has the declension of the article ; without a noun, it
has the declension of the relative ber, except that the genitive
plural is bmr :
Die, t»eld)e (or bte) bie SBafjrfjeit ntdjt Those who do not love the truth
Itefien, finb md)t juttcrlafftg. are not reliable.—
SBte traurig ijl bad £ood berer, beren How sad is the lot of those whose
$reuben imb £offnungen fid) auf bte* joys and hopes are limited (limit
fed Seben befd)ranfen ! themselves) to this life !
4. When a subordinate sentence beginning with focr or toa§
precedes an independent one, the latter is often introduced by
the determinative pronouns bet or bttl :
SBcr ntd)t fyoren ttnfl, ber mup fufylett. He who will not hear, must feel.
23ad bu fjeute t&un fannji, bad »erfd)te&e What you can do to-day, (that) do
ntd)t auf morgen. n °t postpone till to-morrow.
5. 29Bcr and tt)tt§, like wAo and what in English, are often
used with the force of relative and determinative pronouns :
SBer metnen ©eutel jriefilt, fHeflft £anb. Who steals my purse, steals trash.
Sad er gefagt W, ift md)t ttafyr. What he has said is not true.
£oppe(t gtbt (berjenige, ttelcber), toer Doubly gives (he) who promptly
gletd) gtbt (badjentgc, tt>eld)ed), Wad gives what ^that which) is wished
man nmnfdjt unb liefct. and loved.
6. ^crfclBc is sometimes substituted for personal pronouns :
1. After a preposition, when the pronoun does not refer to a person :
(£r l)at meine $eber unb fd)tetf)t mtt ber- He has my pen and writes with it
felfcen (or bamtt). (with the same or therewith).
2. To avoid ambiguity or repetition :
IDicfc £eute finb unfere 9kd)barn, fennen These people are our neighbors ; do
Sie biefelben (fennen <3ie fie) ? you know them (the same) ?
Gr lofet ben tfnafcen, ftett berfelfce feme He praises the boy because he (the
Gutter et)rt. same) honors his mother.
148
LESSON 29.
7. S-Oldjn* is frequently followed by a relative pronoun,
which in this position is rendered by as :
%$ lefe nur foidjje 23itd)er, tie lefyrreid) I read only such books, as (which)
fmb. are instructive. —
®tfc ed ©oldjen, ix>eld>e e3 serbtenen. Give it to such as deserve it.
8. 3u(ff)Cr is sometimes substituted for a demonstrative
or a personal pronoun :
Die ©dmefltgfcit, mit ber (5old)e3 au$*
gefitfjrt »or, Itcfl bem ^einbe feme
3eit, e3 gu serfytnbern.

The rapidity with which this (such)
was executed, did not leave the
foe time to prevent it.
One punishes the faults of the chil-
dren, that they may not commit
them again.
9. A pjonoun, to which a relative refers, may sometimes fol-
low the relative or be entirely omitted, but the relative is never,
as in English, omitted : \
Die er gemefjrt Ijat, mijgen urn i(m

©rammaitfdjcS. Grammatical.
1. $er, btC, btt3, when emphasized, supply as demonstrative
pronouns the place of btcfcr and jcitcr :
3d) lobe ben 9flarm, ntdjt btefert. I praise that man, not this one.
3d) lobe belt 9ftann, md)t jenen. I praise this man, not that one.
£ttS 33ud) fjabe id) fdjort gelefen. This book I have already read.
2Ber ift bcr? $Clt fertile id) ntdjt. Who is that (or this) ? Him I do
not know.
2. When the demonstrative bcr is used with a noun, it has
the declension of the definite article ; used substantively, it
follows the inflection of the relative bcr :
£ett SWarmem t)abe id) ba3 ®elb fd)ort To those men I have already sent
gefd)tdt. the money.
3ebermatm toirb eud) loben, ba§ iljr Everybody will praise you, that you
benett (i. e. the rulers) WXt SRiim* have declared war (feud) against
berg getyb 1 angefunbtgt Ijabt. those of Nuremberg.
3. The Demonstrative bcr may often be best rendered by a
personal pronoun ; its genitive, like that of the relative bcr,
always precedes the governing noun :
gfifjt eud) bcr (that one) tterfolgen ? Does he cause you to be pursued ?
$CC fd)abet ntd)t mer)r, id) l)ab' iljn er* He will do no more harm, I Have
fd)lagert. slain him.
DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS. 151
4. The genitives beffett, bctttt are often used (like the
French en) as a substitute for a noun previously expressed, and
are sometimes rendered by some, any, and sometimes do not
require translation :
(£r $at fctn ©elb utefyr, after id) Ija&e He has no longer any money, but
beffeit nod). I still have some (of it).
3$ Jjcme feme SBudjtx, imb bit fyaft I have no hooks and yon have (of .
uCfCtt ju Mel. „ them) too many.
5. The forms beg and toefj (better beg and ft)C§) for the
genitive bcffcit and tOPffcit frequently occur, rhetorically and in
some proverbial phrases :
(£r tft befjtwgen mem $emb. He is therefore my enemy.
$e8 riiljme ber blufge Styrann ftd) Let not the bloody tyrant boast
tttdjt. (himself) of this.
SBefe ba3 £er3 *ott tft, be§ geljt ber Of what the heart is full, of that
Wlunb itber. the mouth runs over.
6. $tefe3 (often contracted to btCg), bttg, jcitc§, ttffcg, and
Meld) el, as subjects of the verb fettt (like the French ce),
although neuter in form, may refer to nouns of all genders and
of both numbers :
£)te3 fmb uttfere ^reimbe. These are our friends.
SBeriftbaS? Who is that?
2Be(d)e3 fmb bte langftett 9^dd)te ? Which are the longest nights ?

Anomalous.
1. ©rcitnen, femtcn, nennctt, rcnnen, fenbcit, and rocnbcn
follow the New Conjugation, except that the root-vowel t of the
Inf. is changed to a in both the other principal parts :
fcramtte, gcBrannt ; nannte, genamtt ; fanbte, gefanbt.
fannte, cjefannt ; rannte, gcrannt ; wanbte, gewanbt.
Senfcen and toenben are also regular: fenfcete, gefcnbct ; toen&ete,
gctDcnoct.
2. SBrutgCtt and bcnfctt have in the Imperf. the forms IJradjtC,
badjte, and in the Per/. Part gefirttdjt, gebtttfjt.

Meile) bei einerBreite von 24 und einer Hohe von 21 Fuss. — 7. Ein
Bauersmann ging mit seinem kleinen Sohne Thomas nach einem be-
nachbarten Dorfe. 8. " Sieh," sprach der Vater einmal unterwegs,
" da liegt ein Stiick von einem Hufeisen auf der Strasse ! Hebe es
auf und stecke es ein." 9. " Ei," sagte Thomas, "das ist ja nicht ein-
mal der Miihe werth, dass man sich darum bucke." 10. Der Vater
hob das Eisen stillschweigend auf, und schob es in die Tasche. 11.
Im nachsten Dorfe verkaufte er es dem Schmiede fur drei Pfennige,
und kaufte fur das G-eld Kirschen. 12. Beide gingen weiter. 13. Die
Sonne schien sehr heiss ; weit und breit war kein Haus, kein Baum
und keine Quelle zu sehen. 14. Thomas verschmachtete beinahe vor
Durst und konnte dem Vater fast nicht mehr nachkommen. 15. Da
liess der Vater, wie zufallig, eine Kirsche fallen. 16. Thomas hob sie
so begierig auf, als ware sie Gold, und fuhr damit gleich nach dem
Munde. 17. Nach einigen Schritten liess der Vater wieder eine
Kirsche fallen. 18. Thomas biickte sich eben so schnell danach.
19. So liess der Vater den Thomas alle Kirschen aufheben. 20. Als
nun die Kirschen zu Ende waren und Thomas die letzte verzehrt
hatte, sprach der Vater lachend : " Sieh, wenn du dich um das Huf-
eisen einmal gebiickt hattest, so hattest du nicht nothig gehabt, dich
um die Kirschen hundertmal zu biicken."

What is the hat to signify ?
15. In the Perf. and Pluperf. these auxiliaries and the verbs
Ijrijjctt (to command), Ijcffctt, Ijiiren, and feljcit, when used with
other verbs, employ the Pres. Inf. instead of the Perf. Part. :
3d) Ijak tbn fommen bei§en.
3* b>be tijm arktten ftelfen.
3d) Ijak tljn fpreckn l)oren.

I have commanded him to come.
I have helped him work.
I have heard him speak.
I have seen him go.
I have not been able to go.
She has not wished to do it.
16. When the infinitive form, instead of the participle, as
above, is used, it is always placed at the end of the sentence ;
hence the inversion, usual in relative sentences, does not take
place :
2)cr Sftann, toelckr Bat gekn miijjen. The man who has been obliged to go.
3d) »cip, bap cr tturb fommen fonnen. I know that he will be able to come.

2. The Present Subjunctive often expresses (like our present
subjunctive) a wish, a purpose, or a command:
<3ebe er ju, ba§ man e$ md)t erfafjre. See he (let him see) to it that it be
<3o fei e#. So be it. [not discovered.
3. The Present, Perfect, and Futures of the Subjunctive are
used in the so-called indirect narration, and rendered by our

Pluperf. Subj. are often substituted :
2)a3 roare fcfyoner, roenn e$ ntct>t fo grop That were more beautiful, were it
roare ; anjlatt : not so large ; instead of :

Der Klieinfall bei Schaffhausen.
Von SchafFhausen leiten auf beiden Ufern des Rheines romantische
Pfade zu clem eine Stunde (etwa zwei und eine halbe englische
Meile) entfernten, weltberuhmten Katarakte. Wenn man die Strasse
iiber Feuerthalen und Uhlwiesen auf der Zurieher Seite einscftlagt
nach dem alterthiimlichen Schlosse Laufen, das auf einem Felsen-
vorsprung uber dem Bergkessel ruht, in welchen sich der Wasserfall
donnernd walzt, so iiberblickt man, indem man in das uber dem Ab- i-UJife
grunde hangende Pavilion tritt, auf einmal tief zu seinen Fiissen die
tobende glanzvolle Herrlichkeit. ^
Schon bei Schaffhausen bricht sich der Strom an einzelnen vor-
tauchenden Klippen. In sehoner Bogenlinie fluthet er zu der ver-
hangnissvollen Stelle. Immer litiufiger werden die Felsenrisse seines
Bettes ; immer mehr losen sich die silbergriinen Wasser zu Milch-
schaum auf. Noch sind an einzelnen klaren Stellen die Steinbanke
sichtbar, uber die er hingleitet. Nun aber plotzlich bricht die Strom-
masse. Sie wird zur Schneelawine an blendender Weisse und Wuth^>e^
des Sturzes ; zermalmend sauscn zwischen vier Felsthiirmen die
Wasserberge in den 60 bis 70 Schuh weiten Schlund Bfern.ieder;
Staubsaulen fahren wirbelnd in die Liifte und umschwarmen, wie
silberfarbenes Gewolke, die Klippen gipfel, — und ein ewiges Donner-
getose, zwischen welchem oftmals hinein ein leises, femes Glocken-
gelaute zu tonen scheint, fullt mit seinem Wiederhall die Wande des
Gebirges. \

1. The Present Participle used attributively, when having
an object, is preceded by the object :
2>cr U)tt toknbe Setyrer. The teacher who pjaises him.
2. The Perfect Participle sometimes answers to our Present
Participle, or, like many other words, it may often be varied or
omitted in translation, according to the different idioms of the
two languages :
(Er fam bie <Stra£e ^ergc^ogcn. He came (strolling) along the street.
2)a3 ©elb tji serloren gegangen. The money is (gone) lost, [(flown).
■§>eulenb fommt ber (Sturm geflogen. Howling comes the storm flying
3. There is a third or Puture Participle, formed from transi-
tive verbs by prefixing JU to the present participle ; it always
has a passive signification and implies necessity or obligation :
£>te gu fiird)tenbe ©efar)r. The to-be-feared danger.
2)a3 gu bauertbe £au$. The house which is to be built.

ever, by the first person plural of the subjunctive :

unS fie mtfeeiu use it.
SSerjrtgen toir and) nid)t gu fritlj. Let us not despair, however, too

COMPOUND VERBS. SEPARABLE AND INSEPARABLE.

2. Separable compound verbs are formed by combining
accented words with simple verbs ; in a simple tense, in indepen-
dent sentences, as also in the imperative, the separable com-
ponent is removed from the verb, and placed at the end of the
sentence.
$U (of the infinitive), when expressed, is placed, like ge of the perfect
participle, between the separable prefix and the simple verb, thus with these
forming one word :
Pres. Inf. 3c?
pers. Pres. Ind.
Pres Inf with JU.
Per/. Part.
fdjlOgCtt, heat ;
fdjlitgt,

aBfd)(agen, refuse ;

Separable compound verbs are also formed by combining accented words
with Inseparables ; verbs thus formed do not take the prefix gC in the per-
fect participle :
3d pers. Pres. Inf.
Pres. Inf. sing. Pres. with JU. Perf.Part.
Simple verb, fcttttcn, know ; fcttttt, JU fcttttett, gcfttttttt.
Inscp. comp. crfennen, recognize ; erfennt, Jtt erfennen, erfannt.
Sep. comp. anerfenncn, acknowledge ; erfennt tttt, anjUerfennen, tttterfannt.

1. There are many more verbs in German than in English
which are used only reflexively :
<3te bccjeben ftd) nad) bcr tfiitfe.

210 LESSON 44.
©rammattfojcS. Grammatical.
1. Besides the words denoting natural phenomena, as e§ bfltts
ttCft, it thunders, &c. (alike impersonal in both languages), there
are many verbs in German, impersonally used, which answer to
the neuter or passive in English :
Si bat jlarf geregnet. It has rained hard.
Si nadjtet fdjon. It is already growing dark (night).
S i grauet mir »or ifim (bawr). I have a horror of him (of it).
Si gelujtet iljn nad) 5lttem f tt)ai er ftebt. He covets everything that he sees.
Si freut mid). I am glad (lit. it rejoices me).
Si hunger* unb biirftet uni. We are hungry and thirsty.
Si »erfiel)t fid) son felfl (tjl felbjfoer* It is a matter of course (is self-

(£3 tf)M uni Sttten fefjr letb. We are all very sorry.
Si fd>rotnbett t^ncn. They feel dizzy.
Si bat tbm geftnp getraumt. He has certainly heen dreaming.
Urn tteldje 3^tt tagt ei ? What time does it dawn (grow light) ?
2. An Impersonal verb is sometimes preceded by an object ;
the pronoun c3 being omitted :
2J?td) Ijungert. I am hungry.
Uni biirftct. We are thirsty.
Wix fdjttrinbett. I feel dizzy.
Sfjnen fjat getraumt. You have dreamed.
3. £ lilt fcit, impersonally used, takes either the dative or
accusative:
$fli<$) biinft, fte Batten 9ted)t. Methinks they were right.
2)ai biinft mtr bod) gu grajjltd). That really seems to me too horrible.
4. JJeljIett, gefiredjett, and mattgeltt are often used imper-
sonally construed with the dative of a person, and usually fol-
lowed by ail with the dative of a thing :
Si fer^Ct tt)m ntdjt an gutem SBtffen. He was not lacking in good will.
2)em ®(utflid)en fann ei an 9itd)ti ge- The happy man can be in want of
bredjen. nothing.
Sin Sebenimttteln mangelt ei ifinen. There is a lack of provisions with
them.
FORMATION OF THE PASSIVE VOICE.

5. Verbs, intransitive as well as transitive, are often used
impersonally and reflexively to denote an action or a state in-
dependently of any particular subject :

It is not proper to do that.
It is our duty (it behooves us) to
love and honor our parents.
It not unfrequently happens that
under an unsightly garb the most
brilliant talents are concealed.
6. ©cfjctt, impersonally used with the dative, often answers
to the verb to be, either with the nominative or with the objective
governed by with :
2Bie geljt 1 3 31)nen ? or How are you ? or
2Bie geljt 1 $ ? How is it with you ?
_ ' - -.'■■ "*,* _ ' c It is iust the same with me.

Neun und neunzigste Aufgabe.
1. Die Verben der alten oder starken Conjugation werden von
verschiedenen Grammatikern verschieden eingetheilt von drei bis zu
acht Klassen ; auch ihre Zahl wird verschieden angegeben von 170
bis zu 176. 2. In Grammatiken, deren man sich beim Unterricht der
deutschen Sprache in Deutschland bedient, finden wir sie meistens in
seclis Klassen eingetheilt. 3. Die Verben der ersten Klasse haben
im Infinitiv, Imperfekt und zweiten Partizip einen verschiedenen
Stammvokal, ausgenommen kommen. 4. Dieses behalt im zweiten
Partizip den Stammvokal des Inlinitivs bei. 5. Im zweiten Partizip
der Verben der zweiten, dritten und vierten Klasse ist der Stamm-
vokal derselbe, wie im Infinitiv, mit Ausnahme der Verben bitten,
sitzen, und liegen. 6. Diese haben, wie die Verben der ersten
Klasse, einen verschiedenen Stammvokal im Infinitiv, Imperfekt und
zweiten Partizip. 7.. Die Verben der funften und sechsten Klasse
haben im Partizip des Perfekts denselben Stammvokal, wie im Im-
perfekt. 8. Heissen bildet die einzige Ausnahme von dieser Kegel.
9. Es behalt den Stammvokal des Infinitivs im zweiten Partizip bei.
10. Eingehendere Bemerkungen uber die Verben der alten Conjuga-
tion siehe in Lektion 30-35. 11. Die Verben brennen, kennen,
nennen, rennen, senden und wenden haben die characteristischen
RECAPITULATION. 215
Eigenthiimlichkeiten beider Conjugationen. 12. Der Stammvokal e
des Infinitivs verwandelt sich im Imperfekt und zweiten Partizip in a.
13. Bringen und denken haben im Imperfekt die Formen brachte,
dachte, und im zweiten Partizip gebracht, gedacht. 14. Durfen,
konnen, mogen, miissen, sollen, wollen, und wissen bilden den
Singular des Prasens, wie Verben der alten Conjugation das Imper-
fekt. 15. Im Imperfekt und zweiten Partizip fblgen sie der neuen
Conjugationsform. 16. Jedoch verwandelt sich der Stammvokal des
Infinitivs, wenn 6 in o, und wenn ii oder i in u. 17. Die Formen
des Imperfekts und zweiten Partizips von gehen und stehen sind :
ging, gegangen ; stand, gestanden. 18. Thun stosst im Prasens
Indikativ, im Imperativ und im Prasens Infinitiv das e der Endung,
wenn es einem Endkonsonanten vorangeht, aus. 19. Das Imperfekt
von thun hat die Form that, das zweite Partizip gethan. 20. Das
Hiilfszeitwort zur Bildung zusammengesetzter Zeiten von begegnen,
bleiben, folgen, weichen, sein und alien intransitiven Verben,
welche eine Bewegung oder Veranderung des Zustandes ausdriicken,
ist sein (Ausnahmen siehe 37. 2.). 21. Die Hiilfszeitworter des
Modus oder der Weise sind : durfen, konnen, mogen, miissen,
sollen, wollen und lassen. 22. Die Regeln uber ihren Gebrauch
siehe in Lektion 37. 23. Das Prasens des Conjunktivs clriickt oft,
wie das Prasens des Subjunktivs im Englischen, einen Wunsch, eine
Absicht oder einen Befehl aus. 24. Das Prasens, Perfekt und die
beiden Futura des Conjunktivs werden in der sogenannten indirekten
Rede angewandt, und entsprechen dann dem Indikativ im Englischen.
25. Das Prasens des Conjunktivs aller Verben wird dadurch gebildet,
dass man an den Stamm des Verbs in der ersten und dritten Person
der Einzahl e, in der zweiten est, in der ersten und dritten Person
der Mehrzahl en, in der zweiten et anhangt. 26. Die Verben der
alten Conjugation, sowie die unregelmassigen Verben gehen, stehen
und thun bilden das Imperfekt des Conjunktivs dadurch, dass sie in
dor ersten und dritten Person der Einzahl e an die Form des Indika-
tivs anhangen und, wenn umlautsfahig, den Umlaut annehmen. 27.
Das Imperfekt des Conjunktivs der unregelmassigen Verben bren-
nen, kennen, nennen, rennen, senden und wenden wird gebildet
wie das Imperfekt des Indikativs der neuen Conjugation. 28. Brin-
gen, denken, durfen, konnen, mogen, miissen und wissen bilden
den Conjunktiv des Imperfekts vom Indikativ dadurch, dass sie den
Umlaut annehmen.

LESSON 46.
©rammttttfdjes.
Grammatical.
1. The definite article is used: 1. before names of days,
months, and seasons ; 2. before masculine and feminine geograph-
ical names ; 3. before proper names preceded by adjectives ;
4. before proper names when their endings do not indicate their
case ; 5. before names of persons designated as members of the
household or as acquaintances of the speaker :

Turkey is more powerful than was
supposed.
Poor William was inconsolable.
The speeches of Demosthenes.

2i Before nouns specifying time or quantity, the use of the
definite article corresponds to that of the indefinite article in
English :
2Btr fiafcen jtnetmat hit 2Bodie Unrerrtdjt
in ber franjoftjtyen <2pradje.
(£3 fojfct ctnen Scaler bag spfunb.
"We have instruction in the French
language twice a week.
It costs a dollar a pound.
3. Abstract nouns and names of substances are used both
with and without the definite article ; generally with it when in
the genitive case :
$0$ (^riilentfyum ift ber SGBelt etn grower

to
USE AND OMISSION OF THE ARTICLE.
223
4. The dative of the definite article with ju (24. 2.) is used
in many expressions that mark a change of condition :
©r tturbe Jttttt ftatfer geroaljlt.
§um $entit$er roerbe ntd)t.
(&v i\t jum Settler geroorben.
He was chosen emperor.
Do not turn traitor.
He has become a beggar.
5. The definite article, when used with Beibe, 1)011), folifjcr,
fO, and JU, precedes them :
£>te betben 2)tener bliebcn etnen b,al6en
Sag.
Both the (the two) servants remained
half a (a half) day.
6. The article is omitted : 1. before the names of the cardi-
nal points merely indicating direction ; 2. before nouns used,
in a general sense, as predicates of fcttt or lflcrbcit ; 3. before
nouns standing in apposition after aU with a previously or sub-
sequently expressed word ; 4. in some conventional phrases ;
5. in many phrases before ttftttCV, Ic^tcrcr, folflCltbcr :
£>a$ gtne ©d&iff fegelte nad) Often, ba$ One ship sailed (toward the) east,

226 lesson 47.
©rommattjdjeS. Grammatical.
1. In subordinate sentences the verb is placed last :
33ebenfe, baft bit ftcrMid) M|t. Remember that thou art mortal.
When in subordinate sentences the concessive conjunctions UKUU, ofa
flh'id), &c. (15. 8.) are omitted, the collocation of words is the same as in
interrogative sentences :
2ag 1 3 an mir (ttenn e3 an mir lagc), Had it depended on me, they would
fie roarett Icingft au3 9teid)e3 ©ren= long since have been out of the
gen. boundaries of the kingdom.
2. In independent sentences, preceded by a subordinate one,
or beginning with another word than the subject, the verb
usually precedes the subject :
£iefen SWann fcnnc id), aocr jenen {jabe This man I know, but that one I
id) nie gefefjen. have never seen.
2Bo fie freselte, Wirb fie geridjtet. Where she offended she is judged.
After conjunctive adverbs the collocation is the same as with other
adverbs :
to. fommt 3fyr greunb. There comes your friend.
3. $a, ofigleidj (or ob gletdj), olifdjon (or oft ftfjon), rittool)!,
luCltlt, and IntC are often followed by the correlative fo at the
head of the leading clause :
Ta id) einmal fjter bin, fo ft>iB id) aud) Since I am (once) here, I will (also)
f)ier Meioen. remain.
4. When olig(ctrf) or either of the concessive conjunctions
stands at the head of the first sentence, the correlative fo of the
next is usually followed by botfj or ucnuotfj :
Dogjeid) cr e3 serfprad), fo untertiejj cr Although he promised it, he never-
e$ bennod). theless neglected it.
Do er gleid) reid) ijt, tfl er (or fo ift er) Although he is rich, he is neverthe-
tod) etn Jtnaufer. less a niggard.
5. Sometimes a causal adverb in a leading clause is best
omitted in translating :
©r ift beefoalb unutfrteben, mil fein He is ( — ) discontented, because
greunb nid)t ^ter ift. his friend is not here.
(£§ tt>ar Statist, tie er bafiir na^m. It was revenge which he took.
THE ADVERB.
227
6. Adverbs (except genug') precede the adjectives and adverbs
which they qualify :
(£3 tft fdjon gtemltd) fait. It is already pretty cold.
£>er £ut i\t groj? genug. The hat is large enough.
7. Adverbs follow the verb which they qualify ; in compound
tenses, the first auxiliary :
(£r war gejicrn tytcr. He was here yesterday.
(Sr nnrb morgen l)ter fetn. He will be here to-morrow.
8. Adverbs of time precede the object (except when it is a
personal pronoun), while those of manner, referring exclusively
to the verb, commonly follow the object :
Sr madjte geftern fcine Arbeit fc^r
fd)lerf)t.
Sr fiat geptern fetne Slrkit fefyr fdjledjt
gemad)t.
(£r \jat fie fieute Jeffer gemad)t.
(Er f)at mir geftern biefe 9fltttf)ettung
fd)riftltd) gcmad)t.
He did his work yesterday very
"badly.
He has done his work (yesterday)
very badly.
He has done it better to-day.
He made this communication to me
yesterday in writing.
9. For the sake of emphasis, the collocation of words is
subject to many variations. To give special prominence to a
word, it is often placed at the head of the sentence :
®elefen Ijat er, obcr nidrt laut. He has read, but not aloud.
grnnjDftfd) fpridit cr jwav ; ba3 £)eutfd)e French he speaks, it is true, but Ger-
abtx mad)t iijm mel <3d)tt)ierigfeit. man causes him much difficulty.

©rammatifcjjcS. Grammatical.
1. Adverbs are formed :
1. From other words by means of the suffixes ltd), ItltgS, or
toartS :
furjttd), recently ; jafyltngS, precipitously ; cmfn>art$, upward ;
tagltd), daily ; rucfting^, from the rear ; fyimmclrodrtS, heavenward.
2. By combining oblique cases of the nouns 2>ttt0,, JJttff, 9ftttl,
9Raff, <5titt, Ztyil, <Bkg, 28eUe, SBctfc with other parts of
speech :
oflerbtngS, by all means ; grojtontktlS, for the most part ;
gteid)fatte, likewise ; fetneSttegS, by no means ;
oftmalS, often ; etnfnueUen, meanwhile ;
etmgermapen, in some measure ; fcfyerjwetfe, jestingly ;
citlerfeitS, from all sides ; tfycttmeife, partly.
3. By suffixing | to nouns or adjectives :
tctg3, by day ; ntorgen^, in the morning ; faflS, in case ;
nacfytS, at night ; akniDS, in the evening ; tljetlS, partly ;
fcerdtS, already ; linU, to the left ; ftetS, always.
230
LESSON 48.
2. The adverbs fctt, there; bflrt, yonder ; Ijter, here; and
ftjfl, where, are used with verbs of rest or those indicating action
within specified limits :
£>icr jM)e id). 2Ser tft ba ? Here I stand. Who is there ?
2>ort fptelen bte ilinber ; wo ftnb bte Yonder the children are playing ;
(?ltern ? where are the parents ?
3. §cr, hither, and Ijttt, thither, when compounded with other
words, as &0, &c, still retain their distinctive meanings ; Ijer
indicating motion or tendency toward, and f)i\t,from the speaker.
As, however, these particles in compounds have no precise
equivalents in English, their force is often lost in translating :
2Ber t|t ba, imb wcr gcfit banjn ?
23letbe l)ter, er ttirb fcalb fyterljer font*
men.
2Bo ifl ber 9Inttmann, unb tvoMn gefjt

Who is there and who goes thither ?
Remain here, he will soon come here
(hither).
Where is the magistrate and where
(whither) is he going ?
Direction toward the speaker.
<£r jtteg fjcrauf. He ascended (hither).
(Sr fin-ana, IjerauS. He sprang out "
(£r ftetgt fterab. He descends "
(£r fam ijerunter. He came down "
Direction from the speaker.
G£r ftteg ^tnauf. He ascended (thither).
@r fprang t)tnau$. He sprang out [ '
(Er ftetgt f)tna6. He descends "
(£r gtng fytnunter. He went down "
4. These Compounds after a noun preceded by a preposition
are usually rendered by a preposition before the corresponding
English noun :
2>er ©oget flog jum Sfenfter IjtnauS.
<2te famen bte Sreppe l)erunter.
The bird flew out of the window.
They came down the stairs.
5. §er and (jut are often separated from ft)0 and placed at
the end of the sentence. With verbs of rest, Ijttt signifies past,
gone ; (jtt* denotes proximity :
2Bo geljen @te fytn?
28o fommt er t;er ?
£>er (Sommer ift fd)on $tn.
@te jlanben urn if)n §er.
Whither are you going ?
Whence is he coming ?
The summer is already past.

Hundert und sechste Aufgabe.
1. In Satzen, denen eine Vermuthung zu Grande liegt, welche fur
zweifelhaft oder unmoglich gehalten wird, steht das Verb im Kon-
ditionalis. 2. Desselben Modus bedient man sich in Fragesatzen,
urn eine entgegengesetzte Meinung, eine Ueberraschung oder eine
drohende Gefahr auszudriicken. 3. Nach einer Verneinung verleiht
der Konditionalis dem Satze eine stiirkere Betonung. 4. Urn eine
absolute Gewissheit auszudriicken, vertritt das Priisens oder Imper-
fekt des Indikativs mitunter die Stelle des Konditionalis. 5. Wenn
heissen intransitiv gebraucht wird, entspricht es gewolmlich dem
Passiv der Verben to name oder to call, oder auch dem Substantiv
name in Verbindung mit dem Verb to be. 6., Das Verb spaziren
wird moistens in Verbindung mit den Verben fahren, fiiliren, reiten
oder gehen angewandt und druckt eine Bewegung zur Erholung
oder zum Vergniigen des sie Ausiibenden aus. 7. Wenn der Infmitiv
substantivisch gebraucht wird, wird er wie ein siichliches Substantiv
behandelt und entspricht dem substantivisch gebrauchten Partizip
des Priisens im Englischen. 8. Wenn ein Verb im Partizip des
Perfect pradikativisch gebraucht wird. regiert es denselben Kasus,
wie in den iibrigen Formen ; wenn es attributivisch gebraucht wird,
wird es behandelt, wie ein Adjektiv. 9. Der Imperativ wird durch
den Konjunktiv ausgedriickt, wenn die dritte Person fur die zweite
gebraucht wird. 10. Wenn der Sprechende die an den Angesproche-
nen gethane Aufforderung zugleich an sich selbst richtet, so wird eine
Imperativform durch das Hiilfsverb lassen, oder durch die erste Per-
son des Konjunktivs gebildet. 11. Wenn der Imperativ einen nach-
druoklichen Befehl ausdriicken soil, wird er durch den Indikativ ver-
treten. 12. Der Imperativ wird oft durch ein zweites Partizip. ein
Substantiv oder ein Adverb ausgedriickt. 13. Zusammengesetzte
Verben sind trennbar, wenn clas Prcefixum den Accent hat; im an-
deren Falle sind sie untrennbar. 14. Die untrennbaren zusammen-
gesetzten Verben nehmen im zweiten Partizip die Vorsilbe ge nicht
an. 15. Transitive Verben werden oft reflexiv gebraucht mit intransi-
tiver oder passiver Bedeutnng. 10. Wenn diinken als unperson-
liches Verb gebraucht wird, regiert es entweder den Dativ oder
Akkusativ. 17. Fehlen, gebrechen u«d mangeln regieren, wenn
sie unpersonlich gebraucht werden, den Dativ der Person. 18. In-
232
LESSON 49.
transitive sowohl, als transitive Verben, werden haufig unpersonlich
oder reflexiv gebraucht, um eine Handlung oder einen Zustand ohne
Beziehung auf irgend einen besonderen Gegenstand zu bezeichnen.
19. Wenn gehen unpersonlich gebraucht wird, regiert es den Dativ
und wird am besten durch to be iibersetzt, wo dann der Dativ dem
englischen Nominativ oder Objectiv nach with entspricht. 20. Das
Passivum wird durch Verbindung des Hulfs verbs werden mit dern
zweiten Partizip gebildet. 21. Wenn werden als Hulfs verb ge-
braucht wird, ninimt es im zweiten Partizip die Vorsilbe ge nicht an.

genitive and dative ; etttfattg governs the genitive, dative, and
accusative (Prepositions with dat. only, L. 10. 1. ; with dot. and
ace, L. 25. 1.).
2. 8(Utg0, along, and tro£, in spite of, may be used with the

To him it was known.
If thou art mortal like me and weap-
ons can wound thee, then it (i. e.

7. The Personal Pronoun in the dative is often substituted
for the possesdve pronoun :

It is seen by your eyes you certainly
have cried.
8. The first and second persons of the personal pronoun in
the dative are often used to indicate, in an indefinite manner,
some special participation or sympathy on the part of the
individuals which they represent, in which use it does not
generally admit of translation :
©riflen finb (£ud) fd)5ne <55afte ! The blues are fine guests (for you) !

©rammatif^e§. Grammatical.
1. When the Dative and Accusative are both governed by
the same verb, the Dative answers to our objective governed by
a preposition :
(£r n<u)m e3 tt)nen tteg. He took it away from them.
©tefer £ut gefyort mir. This hat belongs to me.
VERBS WITH THE DATIVE.
251
2. Some verbs govern the dative of a person, whether fol-
lowed by an object in the accusative or not :
antttorten, answer. I banfen, thank. I rcttfjen, advise,
befefylert, command. | lofynen, reward, compensate. | ttdjren, forbid, &c.
2Ber roirb btr btefe Zljat lofjnen ? Who will reward you for this deed?
2Ber ttnrb bir lofynen ? Who will reward you ?
3. Many intransitive verbs construed with the dative answer
to the English transitive with the objective-:
fcegegnen, meet.
Mnigen, suit,
bienen, serve.
fet)lcn, lack.
fludjen, curse,
folgen, follow.
frofnven, distrain,
frommen, profit.
geMljren, to be proper,

nu£en, profit.
paffen, fit.
fd)aben, injure.

trauen, trust.
tro£en, defy,
piemen, to be proper.
4. With the following impersonally used verbs, as also with
Cl tt)trb, it becomes, and C§ tft, it is, the dative is often rendered
by our nominative :
ti afjnet (Etnem, one has an impression.
e3 efelt (Stncm, one loathes.
e3 graut (Stnem, one dreads.
£6ret, roctS mtr gerrciumt $at.

e<2 fd)tmnbelt (Sinem, one is giddy.
e<3 bangt (Stnent, one is afraid.
e3 trdumt (Stnem, one dreams.
Hear what I have dreamed.
He became anxious.
5. Intransitive verbs governing the dative take, when used
passively, the impersonal form ; the logical subject being put
in the dative, in which position (as with the impersonal verbs,
see 4.) it is often rendered by the nominative :
(£3 fturbe ifjm (or ifjm ftitrbe) gefdjabet." He was injured.
6. Some verbs govern the dative or the accusative according
to their signification :
9Bir rtcfett tljnen, afcer fie fyorten unS We called them, but they did not
ntd)t. hear us.
2Bir riefert fte in bad £au§. "We called them into the house.

1. Der bestimmte Artikel wird im Deutschen angewandt vor den
Namen der Tage, Monate und Jahreszeiten, vor mannlichen und
weiblichen geographischen Namen, vor Eigennamen, wenn ihnen
Adjektive vorangehen, und vor Personennamen, die als Mitglieder
des Haushalt.es oder Bekannte des Sprechenden bezeiehnet werden
sollen. 2. Vor Hauptwortern, die ein Zeit- oder Grossenmass be-
zeichnen, bedient man sich im Deutschen des bestimmten Artikels,
wahrend im Englischcn der unbestimmte angewandt wird 3. Wenn
der Artikel in Verbindung mit beide, halb, so, solcher, oder zu
gebraucht wird, so wird er diesen Wortern vorangestellt. 4. Der
Artikel wird vor den Namen der Cardinalpunkte weggelassen, wenn
diese nur die Richtung bezeichnen sollen. 5. In Nebensatzen steht
das Yerb am Ende des Satzes. 6. In Hauptsatzen, die auf einen
Nebensatz folgen, oder mit einem anderen Worte als dem Subjekt
beginnen, geht das Verb dem Subjekt voran. 7. Adverbien werden
den Adjektiven und Adverbien, welche sie naher bestimmen, voran-
gestellt. 8. Adverbien folgen dem Verb, welches sie naher bestim-
men. 9. Urn einem Worte eine besondere Betonung zu- verleihen,
stellt man es haufig an die Spitze des Satzes. 10. Viele Adverbien
werden dadurch gebildet, dass man an den Stamm anderer Worter
ein s oder die Endsilben lich, lings oder warts anhangt. 11. Eine
grosse Anzahl Adverbien sind aus einer Zusammensetzung der Sub-
stantive Fall, Weise, Seite, u. s. f. mit anderen Wortern entstanden.
12. Her und hin behalten audi in Zusammensetzungen mit anderen
Wortern, wie da, hier, wo, u. s. f., ihre unterscheidende Bedeutung
bei. 13. Die Priipositionen halb, halben oder halber folgen dem
von ihnen regierten Substantiv ; ungeachtet und wegen stehen
bald voran, bald folgen sie ihm. 14. Die Adjektive bar, bedurftig,
u. s. f. (siehe Lektion 50) regiercn den Genitiv. 15. Die Adjektive
ansichtig, fahig, u. s. f. (50. 1.) werden entweder mit dem Genitiv

oder mit dem Akkusativ verbunden. 16. Einige dieser Adjektive
werden hiiufiger, anstatt mit dem Genitiv, mit einer Proposition ver-
bunden, und zwar : gewohnt und leer mit an ; begierig mit auf
oder nacli ; froh mit liber ; bloss, frei, ledig, leer, los und voll
mit von ; fahig und unfahig mit zu. 17. Schuldig regiert in der
Bedeutung von guilt ij den Genitiv ; in der Bedeutung von indebted
wird es mit dem Verb sein verbunden und wie ein Verb behandelt,
das den Dativ der Person und den Akkusativ der Sache regiert.
18. Weith regiert in der Bedeutung von worthy den Genitiv ; in der
Bedeutung von worth wird es mit dem Akkusativ verbunden. 19.
Ueber die Verben, die den Genitiv regieren, siehe Lektion 51. 20.
Die Priipositionen langs, trotz und zufolge regieren den Genitiv
oder Dativ; entlang, den Genitiv, Dativ oder Akkusa,tiv.

SSHeberljoUutg. Recapitulation.
Hundert und zwanzigste Aufgabe.
Die deutsche Sclirift.
Die Zeichen der deutschen Schrift, die Buchstaben, sind Laut-
zeichen, denn sie bezeichnen Laute und Verhaltnisse der Laute. Die
Form der in Deutschland, wie in fast ganz Europa bis zu Ende des
dreizehnten Jahrhimderts iiblichen Schriftzeichen war die der lateini-
schen Buchstaben. Als irn zwolften und dreizehnten Jahrhundert
die Volker des Abendlandes hauptsachlich durch die Kreuzziige in
lebhafte Beriihrung mit dem Morgenlande kamen und die feineren
Sitten und Kiinste des Morgenlandes kennen lernten, fand, wie in
RECAPITULATION. 259
der Sprache und Literatur und dem ganzen gesellschaftlichen Leben,
so auch in der Baukunst eine gewaltige Umwalzung statt. I An
die Stelle der Rundbogen trat der durch die Verschlingung zweier
Rundbogen entstehende Spitzbogen, statt des massiven scliweren
Pfeilers brachte man die leichtere, schlankere Saule in Anwendung,
die Kuppel ward aufgegeben und das Hauptaugenmerk auf den
Chor gerichtet, und so entwickelte sich zuerst in Frankreich, dann
in Deutschland und England eine neue Baukunst (Gothischer Bau-
styl), deren herrlichstes, bis in die aussersten Auslaufe consequent
durchgefuhrtes Meisterwerk, der Dom zu Coin, uns die erhabene
Grosse und voile Schonheit dieses Styles in seiner reinsten Aus-
bildung und hochsten Vollkommenheit vor Augen fuhrt. Die edlen,
schlanken Formen und anmuthigen Ornamente dieses Styles ver-
leiteten die Abschreiber jener Zeit, die runden, reinen Formen der
lateinischen Buchstaben in die Lange zu ziehen, auszuspitzen, zu ver-
sehnorkeln und — zu verknorzen. Die Erfinder der Druckerei be-
dienten sich derselben Schriftzeichen, wie sie in den Handschriften
iiblich waren, und so finden wir in den ersten Drucken des funfzehn-
ten Jahrhunderts, in alien europaischen Sprachen dieselben eckigen,
verschnorkelten Formen. Italien kehrte schon gegen Ende des
funfzehnten Jahrhunderts zu den reinen Formen der lateinischen
Buchstaben zuriick, wie man sie in den alten Handschriften der
Klassiker vor Augen hatte, und bald folgten auch andere Volker
seinem Beispiele nach. Gegenwartig nerrscht der Gebrauch der
eckigen Schrift nur noch in Deutschland, Danemark, Liefland, Lit-
tauen, Estland und Finnland, sowie in bohmischen und schwedischen
Zeitungen. Keuerdings hat man auch in diesen Landern angefangen,
zur runden Form der lateinischen Buchstaben zuriickzukehren.

XV. Das deutsche Volk und seine Sprache.
Das deutsche Volk ist ein Zweig der germanischen Fa-
milie des indo-europaischen Volkerstammes. Zu diesem indo-euro-
Stamme gehoren fast siimmtliche Volker Europas und des vdike^
siidwestlichen Asiens. Nach den neuesten Forschungen stamm.
zerfallen die Volker des indo-europaischen Stammes in acht
Familien, von denen 1 zwei die asiatische, die iibrigen sechs
die europaische Gruppe ausmachen.
Zur asiatischen Gruppe gehoren, 1. die indischen und
2. die iranischen oder persischen Volker.
Unter den Sprachen der indischen Volker nimmt das indische
Sanskrit (d. i. ubersetzt "gebildet") den ersten Rang ein.
Aus ihm haben sich die modernen indischen Sprachen ent-
wickelt, 2 unter denen 1 besonders das Hindi oder Hindui,
die Sprache der nicht mohammedanischen Bevolkerung, und
das Hindustan, die Sprache der moslemischen Bevolke-
rung, hervorzuheben 8 sind.

Die alteste Sprache der iranischen oder persischen
Familie ist das Altbaktrische oder Zend. Dies 1 war die
Sprache der alten Parsen, in der 2 ihre heiligen Biicher
''Zend-Avesta" abgefasst 3 wurden. Ueber das Altper-
sische, einen Zweig derselben 4 Familie, hat man 5 erst 6 vor
Kurzem 7 dureh Entzifferung der achamenidischen Keil-
inschriften wesentliche Aufschliisse erhalten. Unter den
modernen iranischen Sprachen verdienen die armenische
und die neupersische Sprache besondere Erwahnung.
Zur europaischen Gruppe des indo-europaischen Y61-
kerstammes gehoren, 1. die griechische, 2. die italische,
3. die celtische, 4. die slawische, 5. die litauische und
6. die germanische Familie.
Das griechische Volk spaltete sieh 8 schon in vorge-
schichtlichen Zeiten in verschiedene Stiimme, von denen 3
jeder einen besonderen Dialect sprach. Die Bliithezeit der
griechischen Literatur, die sogenannte classische Periode,
begreift den Zeitraum vom Ende der Perserkriege bis zum
TVe Alexander des Grossen.
Die wichtigste der italischen Sprachen ist die lateini-
sche. Aus ihm entwickelten sich 8 wahrend des sechsten,
siebten, achten und neunten Jahrhunderts unter der Ein-
wirkung germanischer und celtischer Elemente die romani-
schen Sprachen. Die romanischen Sprachen sind : Italie-
nisch, Spanisch, Portugiesisch, Provencalisch, Fran-
zbsisch und Rumanisch oder "Walachisch.
Die celtische Sprache war fruher die Sprache Galliens
und Britanniens. Sie wird jetzt nur noch an den aussersten
Westenden Europas, in Irland, Hochschottland, Wales, auf
der Halbinsel Bretagne und an der mittleren Maas ge-
sprochen.
Zur slawischen Familie gehoren die folgenden Sprachen:
Czechisch, Polnisch, Sorbisch, Polabisch, Bulgarisch,
Serbisch, Slowenisch, Russisch und Kleinrussisch.
Die litauische Familie, zu der 2 die litauische, lettische
und altpreussische Sprache gehoren, ist mit der slawi-
schen nahe vervvandt.

Die germanische Familie umfasst die gothischen, deut- Germani-
schen 1 und nordischen oder skandinavischen Voider. \* i fi a "
Die ausfuhrlichsten und glaubwiirdigsten Nachrichten
iiber die germanischen Volker sind in dem Werke "De
vita, moribus, et populis Germaniae (Ueber das Leben,
die Sitten und die Volker Deutschlands) " des romischen 54 ws circa
Geschichtschreibers, Cornelius Tacitus, erhalten. 117 '
Gegen Ende des zweiten Jahrhunderts vor Christus ka-
men zum ersten Male germanische Volker, die Cimbern,
in Beriihrung mit dem romischen Reiche. Ihre ausser-
ordentliche Korpergrosse, ihre Tapferkeit und eigenthiim-
liche Kampfesweise imponirte den Romern und flosste ihnen
Schrecken ein, so dass die romischen Heere vernichtet wur-
den und der Untergang des Reiches bevorzustehen 2 schien.
Jedoch wandten sich 3 die Cimbern selbst* nach der Schlacht 105 v. Chr.
bei Arausio (dem heutigen Orange), in welcher sie zwei con-
sularische Heere vernichteten, vorerst nicht nach Italien,
sondern nach Gallien. Nachdem 5 sie sich mit den stamm-
verwandten Teutonen und einigen helvetischen Stammen
vereinigt 3 hatten, beschlossen sie in zwei gesonderten Heer-
haufen nach Italien aufzubrechen. 2 Der eine dieser Heer-
haufen wurde bei Aquae Sextioe (dem heutigen Aix), der 102 v. chr.
andere auf den raudischen Feldern unweit derMiindung der
Sesia in den Po von Marius geschlagen und ganzlich auf- 101 v. chr.
gerieben. 2 Nach dem ruhrnvollen Feldzuge Caesars in Gal-
lien (Frankreich) wurde die Eroberungslust der Romer nach 69-51 v.
den germanischen und britischen Landern rege. Augustus hr '
beschrtinkte sich darauf, 6 die Nordmarken des Reiches durch 30v - Chr -
' . Ws 14 n.
Anlogung von Befestigungen und Einfuhrung romischer Pro- chr.
vinzialeinrichtungen gegen die Einfalle der Germanen zu
schiitzen. Unter der Regierung des Domitian wurden die 81-96.
Lander des siidwestlichen Germanien (Deutschland) zwi-
sclien Rhein und Donau durch eine zusammenhangende Be-
iestigungslinie, die sogenannte Teufelsmauer, gegen die An-
griffe der benachbarten Stiimme gesichert. Auch in Britan-
nien wurde um jene Zeit die Herrschaft der Romer durch
die Siege des Cornelius Julius Agricola befestigt. Trotz der 78-84.

haufigen rauberischen Einfalle der Picten und Scoten blieb
Britannien unter romischer llerrschaft bis zum Jahre 421.
Im dritten Jahrhundert begannen die Romer dem Andran-
gen der germanischen Volker zu weichen. Sie gaben ihre
Eroberungen in Germanien (Deutschland) und bald audi in
Gallien (Frankreich) und Hispanien (Spanien) auf l und be-
schrankten sich auf Vertheidigung, bis 8 die Gothen dem
476. westromischen Reiche ein Ende machten.
Um die Mitte des dritten Jahrhunderts verliessen die
Gothen ihre Wohnsitze an der Ostsee zwischen Weichsel
und Oder. Sie zogen unter fortwahrenden Kiimpfen nach.
Siiden und griindeten unter Ermanrich urn's Jahr 350 das
grosse gothische Konigreich, das sich vom Don bis zur Theiss
und Weichsel und vom schwarzen Meere bis zur Ostsee
erstreckte.* Im Jahre 369 theilte Ermanrich dieses Reich in
ein Ost- und Westgothenreich und herrschte liber beide
376. Theile, bis 8 der Ein fall der Hunnen in Europa die Auflosung
der Gothenreiche bewirkte und jene gewaltige Bewegung,
die Volkerwanderung, ihren Anfang nahm.
Die Westgothen liessen sich grossentheils unter der
364-378. Herrschaft des Kaisers Valens in Thrazien nieder.* Als 2
aber durch die Harte und Habsucht der kaiserlichen Beam-
ten eine Hungersnoth unter ihnen ausbrach, emporten sie
sich 6 und verwiisteten das ganze Land. Valens eilte zur
378. Unterdriickung des Aufstandes nach Thrazien, wurde aber
in der morderischen Schlacht bei Adrianopolis geschlagen
379-395. und kam auf der Flucht urn. 1 Sein Nachfolger, Theodosius
der Grosse, wies einem Theile der Westgothen Wohnsitze
an 1 und liess den Rest Kriegsdienste im romischen Heere
403. nehmen. Unter Alarich zogen die Westgothen nach Italien
und zwangen Stilicho, den Feldherm des westromischen
395-425. Kaisers Honorius, zur Zahlung eines jahrliclien Tributes.
Nach dem Tode Stilicho's wurde die Zahlung des Tributes
verweigert. In Folge davon marschirte Alarich gegen Rom,
410. eroberte es und gab es der Plunderung preis. 1 Nach dem
Tode Alarich's zogen die Westgothen unter Ataulf nach.

gothisches Konigreich, das 1 ira Jahre 711 von den Arabern
vernichtet wurde (Schlacht bei Xeres de la Frontera). Die
Westgothen, welche in Italien zuriiekgeblieben 2 waren,
nahmen Kriegsdienste im romischen Heere. Unter der
Regierung des Romulus Augustulus verlangten die gothi- 475-476.
schen Soldner ein Drittheil des Landes. Als ihnen dies
verweigert wurde, liess ihr Fiihrer Odoaker den Feldherrn
des Kaisers hinrichten und den Kaiser gefangen nehmen. 476.
Die Ostgothen liessen sich nach Yernichtung der Hunnen-
herrschaft in Pannonien nieder. 2 Im Jahre 486 eroberten
sie unter Theodorieh Italien, wo Odoaker den Titel eines
Konigs von Italien angenommen 2 hatte. Nach dem Tode
Theodorich's blieben sie bestiindig im Kriege mit dem ost-
romischen Kaiserreiche verwickelt und unterlagen diesem
endlich vollstiindig. Vicle Gothen nahmen Kriegsdienste
in Byzanz ; andere wanderten aus 2 und der Rest ver-
schwand unter der ubrigen Bevolkerung.
Das Christenthum, und zwar die Lehre der Arianer, war
unter den Gothen schon vor der Regierung Ermanrich's ver-
'breitet worden. Bereits im Jahre 370 iibersetzte Ulfilas,
Bischof der Westgothen, die Bibel in die gothische Sprache.'
Bruchstiicke dieses Werkes und einer Evangelienharmonie
sind die einzigen Ueberreste der gothischen Literatur. Sie
sind von unschatzbarem Werthe fur uns, da sie uns den
Reich thum der germanischen Sprache, wie sie in jenen Zei-
ten mit nur unbedeutenden dialectischen Abweichungen
alien Stammen der germanischen Volkerfamilie gemeinsam
war, wenn auch nicht vollstandig, so doch zum grossen
Theile enthiillt.
Wahrend 3 die Gothen den Siiden Europas mit dem Ruhme
ihrer WalTentliaten erfiillten, begannen 4 auch die deutschen
Volker der germanischen Familie eine bedeutende Rolle in
der geschichtlichen Entwicklung Europas zu spielen. Im
dritten Jahrhundert bereits treten vier Hauptstamme, die
Alemannen, die Baiern oder Bojaren, die Angeln und
Sachsen und die Franken, hervor, 2 welche wahrend des
dritten, vierten und fiinften Jahrhunderts die Herrschaft
iiber ganz Deutschland, Frankreich und England errangen.

Die Alemannen eroberten das Main- und Rheinland bis
zum Bodensee und seit dem fiinften Jahrhundert Elsass und
die Schweiz.
Die Baiern liessen sich in den Landern vom Bohmerwald
und Fichtelgebirge bis zum Etschtbale nieder. 1
Die Angeln and Sachsen bewohnten die Lander nord-
lich des Thuringer Waldes zwischen Rhein und Elbe. Um
die Mitte des fiinften Jahrhunderts riefen die Briten, wel-
cben von Rom aus keine Hiilfstruppen mebr gegen die
Picten und Scoten gesandt werden konnten, die Angeln
und Sachsen zu Hiilfe. Von diesen zogen v mehrere Schaa-
ren nach Britannien und trieben allerdings die Picten und
Scoten in die schottischen Hochlande zuriick, 1 wandten aber
dann ihre Waffen gegen die Briten. Was 2 von diesen nicbt
getodtet wurde, fliichtete theils nach Frankreich, theils in
die Gebirge von Wales und Cornwallis. Die Sieger griin-
deten nach und nach sieben Konigreiche : Kent, North-
umberland, Mercia, Ostangeln, Sussex, Essex und Wessex.
827. Egbert, Konig von Wessex, vereinigte diese sieben Reiche
zu einem Staate, dem Konigreiche England. Seit der Ein-
fuhrung des Christenthums durch Augustinus im sechsten
Jahrhundert war das Angelsachsische (d. i. die Sprache
der Eroberer) Kirchensprache und im achten nnd neunten
Jahrhundert, hauptsachlich durch die erfolgreichen Bemii-
hungen Alfred des Grossen, Sprache der Literatur gewor-

den Schulen und aus den Gerichtshallen verdrangt, lebte
aber im Volke fort 1 und bildete sich unter dem Einflusse
der nordfranzosischen Hofsprache wahrend des zwolften,
dreizehnten und vierzehnten Jahrhundert zum Englischen
1327-1377. um. 4 Bereits unter Eduard III. wurde das Englische als
Hof- und Landessprache anerkannt.
Die Franken eroberten unter den Merowingern Gallien.
Nach der Absetzung des letzten merovingischen Konigs,
751-768. Childerich III., erlangte Pipin der Kurze die frankische
768-814. Konigskrone. Sein Sohn, Karl der Grosse, vereinigte alle
deutschen Stamme mit Ausnahme der Angelsachsen, welche

aus romischen, germanischen und celtischen Elementen,
welche allmahlig zu Einem Volkskorper, dem franzosischen

Lothar erhielt Italien mit der romischen Kaiserkrone und 843-855.

Ludwig der Deutsche bekam Ostfranken (d. i. das 843-876.
Land ostlich des Rheins) und nach dem Aussterben des
Lothar'schen Zweiges der Karolinger auch noch dessen 1
Besitzungen auf dem linken Rheinufer. Nach Ludwig des
Deutschen Tode theilten sich 2 seine Sohne, Karlmann, Lud-
wig und Karl der Dicke, in das ostfrankische Reich. Nach
dem Tode Karlmann's und Ludwig's vereinigte Karl der
Dicke, nachdem 8 ihm durch das Aussterben des westfranki-

fest begriindete. Unter der Regierung der folgenden K6-
nige aus dem sachsischen Hause und seit 1024 aus dem
Hause der salisohen Franken wurde der Ruhm und die
Grosse des Reiches durch Erwerbung der romischen Kaiser-
wiirde und der Herrschaft uber Italien vermehrt und machte
sich auch in der innern Entwicklung des deutschen Volkes
geltend.
In literarischer Beziehung war bisher nor sehr wenig in
Deutschland geleistet worden. Gleiehzeitig mit der zuneh-
menden Absonderung der deutschen Stamme in politischer
Beziehung hatten sich auch, da ja keine massgebende Lite-
ratur vorhanden war, die ihnen eigenthumlichen ! Mund-
arten schiirfer ausgephigt 2 und unter die beiden Haupt-
dialecte, den hochdeutschen und den niedcrdeutschen,
gruppirt. 3
Die erste Epoche der hochdeutschen Sprache und Litera-
5oo-ii38. tur, die althochdeutsche Periode, reiclit vom Schlusse
der Volkerwanderung bis zur Regierung der Kaiser aus dem
Hause der Hohenstaufen. Unter den Producten dieser
Periode verdienen das " Hildebrandslied " und " Krist," eine
Evangelienharmonie des Weissenburger Monchs Ottfried,
besondere Erwahnung. Zur selben Zeit (im neunten Jahr-
hundert) erschien auch eine Evangelienharmonie, der u He-
liand," in niederdeutscher Mundart.
1138-1522. Die zweite, die mittelhochdeutsche Periode, beginnt
mit der Herrschaft der Hohenstaufen und endet mit dem
Beginn der Reformation. Die ruhmvollen Kriege der Ho-
henstaufischen Kaiser, mehr noch die Kreuzziige und das
Aufbluhen des Ritterthums erschlossen der leicht erreg-
baren Phantasie und schwarmerischen Stimmung jener Zeit
durch den lebhaften Verkehr mit den Volkern des Abend-
und Morgenlandes einen unerschopflichen StofF fur dich-
i2tesund terische Darstellung. Literarische Erzeugnisse des zwolften
bundert. und dreizehnten Jahrhunderts, wie 4 das "Nibelungenlied,"
die " Gudrun," die epischen Werke Hartmann's von der
Aue, Gottfried's von Strassburg und Wolfram's von Eschen-
bach, und die lyrischen Gedichte Walther's von der Vogel-
weide, Reimar des Alten und Neidhardt's von Reuenthal

gehoren unbedingt unter die 1 besten dichterischen Schop-
fungen der deutschen Nation. Mit dem Untergange der
Hohenstaufen endete die glanzvolle Epoche dieser Periode. 1254.
Wahrend des vierzelmten und funfzehnten Jahrhunderts
richtete sich 2 das Bestreben der deutschen Konige haupt-
sachlich darauf, 3 die Macht des hohen Adels zu brechen und
dem Uriwesen der Eitterschaft, welche wahrend der Zeit
des Interregnums in ein Eaubritterthum entartet war, ein 1254-1273.
Ende zu machen. So kam es. dassdie Dichtkunst, von den
Fiirsten und der Eitterschaft vernachlassigt, im Biirger-
stande heimisch wurde, der* sie zwar treu und mit Liebe
pflegte, aber doch aus Mangel an hoherem Verstandniss,
wie auch an Zeit zu kiinstlerischer Ausbildung nur Mittel-
massiges zu Stande zu bringen vermochte.
Da trat im Beginne des sechzehnten Jahrhunderts Luther 1483-1546.
auf. 5 Durch zahlreiche Schriften (" Schmalkaldische Arti-
kel," " Sermon von der Freiheit eines Christenmenschen,"
u. a. m.) und geistliche Lieder (" Wir glauben all an einen
Gott," "Eine feste Burg ist unser Gott," u. v. a.), mehr aber,
als all dies, durch die Uebersetzung der Heiligen Schrift
wurde Luther der Begriinder der neuhochdeutschen
Sprache. Er bediente sich zur Bibeliibersetzung nicht
eines besonderen Dialectes, sondern der Kanzleisprache des
kaiserlichen und kurfiirstlich-sachsischen Hofes. Durch un-
ermudlichen Fleiss brachte er in der letzten Ausgabe, die er 1545.
selbst besorgte, die Sprache zu einer solchen Vollkommen-
heit, dass, obwohl die Niederdeutschen noch einige Zeit
einer Uebertragung in ihren Dialect bedurften, die Sprache
der Luther'schen Bibeliibersetzung die Schriftsprache der
deutschen Nation wurde.
Nach dem Tode Luther's und anderer hervorragender i7tes Jahr-
Geister seiner Zeit, wahrend des dreissigjahrigen Krieges
(1618-1648) und nach dem westfalischen Frieden (1648)
erlangte das Ausland, namentlich Frankreich, einen bedeu-
tenden Einfluss auf das politische Leben sowohl, wie auch
auf die Literatur und Sprache der Deutschen, der erst im
aelitzelmten Jahrhundert gebrochen wurde. Den Beim'i- lstesjahr-
hungen Gottsched's, Adelung's und anderer Schriftsteller

dieser Epoche, welche in ihren Arbeiten auf grammatischem
und lexicographischem Gebiete die Gesetze der deutschen
Sprache enthullten und dieselbe von dem Unrathe iiber-
fliissiger Fremdworter zu reinigen versuchten, und den
Dichtern der classischen Periode der deutschen Literatur
(Klopstock, Wieland, Lessing, Herder, Go the, Schiller) ver-
dankt die deutsche Sprache die selbstandige Stellung, die
sie gegenwartig einninimt.
Die Forschungen der Briider Grimm, Lachmann's, Beck-
i9tea Jahr- er's und anderer deutscher Philologen des neunzelmten
Jahrhunderts, welche dem Entwicklungsgange und den Ge-
setzen der deutschen Sprache durch Vergleichung der ver-
wandten germanischen und anderer indo-europaischen
Sprachen mit grossem Erfolge nachforschten, begriiadeten
in etymologischer, wie in syntactischer Hinsicht die hohe
Vollkommenheit der Grammatik dieser ganz aus sich selbst
entwickelten Sprache, deren Literatur in den herrlichen
Schopfungen der deutschen Nation auf alien Gebiete'n
menschlichen Wissens auch dem Auslander sicherlich einen
