Boston ALLYN AND BACON 1892 Copyright, 1889, BY ALLYN AND BACON. HENRY MORSE STEPHEN* TYPOGRAPHY BY C. H. HEINTZEMANN, BOSTON, PREFACE. THE aim of this book is to present interesting reading mate- rial for a first year's work in German or for a half year's work, according to the number of recitations per week. The reading material has been strictly graded as to difficulty and carefully selected as to vocabulary and style. The Notes and the Vocabulary have been strictly adapted to the wants of beginners. Special attention has been drawn in the Vocabulary and in the first sections of the text to the ac- cent, a subject too generally neglected in the instruction of be- ginners. There are references in the Notes to the grammars of Whitney, Joynes, and of the author, so that the book can be used in connection with any of these. The references to Whic- ney and Joynes have been added by Mr. James O. Griffin of Cornell University. In the Vocabulary the cognate words have been indicated by the type. There has been a lively discussion of late in the Eng- lish " Journal of Education" as to whether the attention paid to cognates is of advantage to the scholar. I am convinced that it is, even to the beginner. Unconsciously two words of similar form and similar meaning, or of similar form and quite different meaning are associated with each other and fixed in the memory together. Of course only a study of Grimm's Law will reveal the less apparent relationship of English, German, Latin, and Greek 515070 Hi IV PREFACE. words. But since it is difficult to draw a clear line between transparent and more hidden cognates, I have intended to indi- cate all of them. Omissions must be charged to ignorance or to carelessness. In a well-known vocabulary I have found 75 either unmarked or wrongly marked cognates as far as the letter R with the aid of Skeat's, Murray's, Kluge's, Grimm's, and Heyne's dictionaries and by the strict application of the formulas of Grimm's Law. Weigand's dictionary is by this time antiquated in its etymologies. The introductory remarks in the Notes to each extract upon its style, vocabulary, and author may not be unwelcome even to the instructor. The text of the poems will, I hope, be found trustworthy. In the mouths of the people and in the migration of the old fa- vorites from Reader to Reader many corruptions have crept in. See for instance the note upon the " Watch on the Rhine," page 286. I have compared the text with that of the standard edition of each author. I wish to thank Professors Hewett and White of Cornell Uni- versity for valuable hints, both in the selection of the material and in the arrangement of the whole book. H. C. G. B. CLINTON, N.

Super of Dickinson College for corrections and suggestions, which I have gladly embodied in this revised edition. H. C. G. B. CLINTON, N. Y., NOVEMBER, 1891. TABLE OF CONTENTS. PACKS I.

The following rules condensed from the grammar (6.418-421; W. 55; J.-M. 48-60) will be found useful : (0 The accent rests on the stem-syllable of all uncompounded nouns and adjectives, and of all inseparable compound verbs : re'bete, gere'bet, 9WIid)leit, entfa'gen, uerleug'nete, unterfu'd)en, iiberle'gen. Exception : leben'big and its derivatives. (2) The accent rests on the stem-syllable of the first part of all compound nouns and adjectives and on the prefix of separable compound verbs: SJiFberbud), grofj'miittg, SSor'feb,img ; ab'btlben, fid) oor'fefyen, un'terjjalten, ' hold under or down.' (3) The accent rests on the second element of compound adverbs: bafyin', fijnab', bwdjcwS', bjmm'ter, bergab 7 . (In this reader the mark of accent is put after the last letter of the accented syllable except in case of the inseparable , erftecf / te / ^ad)^ nab^me.) 6. ^ettfltete has the accent of the compound noun from which it is derived. B. 137, i; W. 312,2, b; J.-M. 380, a. $110 : daughter of Cadmus. 8. ftf)Ierf)t jit effen = frf)Ieii)te (gffen or nia frf)Ierf)t gu effen n?ar. 9. toetneit natt): 'cried for,' 'wept to have back,' different from roeineu iiber or um ettraS or jemanb, which would mean 'over,' 'on account of,' a thing or person. -Watf) implies direction, like ftreben, jtd) febnen not!). B. 303, 10; J.-M. App. II., nac^. 10. ^ule^t tOOftte fie : inverted order, because the adverb stands first. B. 343, d ; W. 431 ; J.-M. 344. 11. fldu'ttcfjt hwr : this is not the preterite passive, it has rather the force of the pluperfect gebracijt ttorben trar, 'had been brought.' It is not called a passive tense. B. 273, 2; W. 282, 2; J.-M. 273.

Jycftfjaltcn : this is the first real separably compounded verb which we have met, and the beginner should understand the use of such verbs as soon as he commences reading or writing German. In the present and preterite tenses the prefix comes at the end of the clause if the clause is an independent one, and may thus stand at a considerable distance from the verb. In dependent clauses the prefix and verb are joined together, separated at most by ge= in the past participle or by jit in the infinitive. B. 137, 350; W. 299, 312; J.-M. 282-7, 379.

Heinrich Heine (1799-1856) is one of the great poets of Germany, ranked by Matthew Arnold next to Goethe. His 33ud) ber Sieber, published in 1827, contains some of the finest songs and ballads in the German language. Cynicism and severe but very witty criticism of Germany and the Germans have prevented his becoming popular as a man or as an author in other branches of literature than lyrics. His Stdbbi von 83arf)arad) is a great but unfinished novel. The last twenty-five years of his life were spent in Paris. The foundation of this poem is the legend of the fay that sits upon the famous Lorelei rock on the right bank of the Rhine, between St. Goar and Oberwesel. The heading is not Heine's.

It was written in 1781 for the Cantata $>ie gifdjertn. The basis of it is the popular belief in elves, sometimes kind to man, sometimes jealous and hos- tile. From ballads such as this and Heine's Sorelei we realize the truth of the lines prefixed by Goethe to his earliest and best ballads: tfSDJdrdjen, nod) fo rounberbar, )td)terKinfte madjen'S roaljv." All the labor and artifice of the true poet produce only that artlessness of the folk- song which is necessary to make a poem acceptable to the hearts and lips of the people.

It is sung by Mignon, the little Italian girl who had been stolen by a troop of rope-dancers, carried to Germany and rescued by Wilhelm Meister, who became her protector. The song expresses her homesickness and at the same time Goethe's own longing for Italy. The first stanza describes Italy, the second a villa, the third her journey across the Alps. The opening lines of Byron's Bride of Abydos were suggested by this poem. Notice the caesura after the fourth syllable of every line except the third of the second stanza.

Karl August, Grand- duke of Sachsen- Weimar, was born in 1758 and died in 1828. He was the patron of literature and science, and made Weimar the Athens of Germany. To his little capital he attracted Goethe, Herder, Schiller, Wieland and many lesser lights. The young duke and Goethe indulged in all kinds of pranks and eccentricities in their young days. They went to the fires of the neighborhood. Vogelsberg and Grossneuhausen are little villages near Weimar.

The poem describes an actual incident in the battle of Vionville, on Aug. 16, 1870. The poet wrote at first 'of Gravelotte," the bloody battle of August 18. There was no infantry in reserve. Cav- alry was sent to the relief of the 6th Division, which was sorely pressed by the French. Line 2 means, we could not see our infantry thus sacrificed. When the Cuirassiers and Ulans had charged both batteries, they were almost surrounded by French cavalry. Then the signal of recall was given upon a pierced trumpet, now preserved at Halberstadt. 282 NOTES. [PAGES 135-138. Page 13*5, 1. 7 and 8. ttMS tttt . . . : see note to p. 78, 1. 10.

A dash ( ) Indicates that the plural is like the singular ; a e, -"ev that the stem has umlaut in the plural with these letters added. The principal parts of strong verbs only are marked. In separable compound verbs, e. g. abbradjett, bracf) , -gebrodjen, the dash indicates that the prefix appears as a separate word, and the hyphen that the prefix is joined directly to the participle. When no auxiliary verb is given, fodben helps form the compound tenses. Definitions are printed in SMALL CAPITALS when cognates, otherwise in Italic Gothic. When the English cognate differs widely in meaning from the German, it is bracketed. Greek- Latin means that the word came from the Greek and went in its Latin form into German. The few references are to the author's Grammar, and mostly cover points not treated in other grammars. See, e. g., bequem.

Schiller's Der Neffe als Onkel. With Notes and Vo- cabulary by Prof. C. F. RADDATZ, Baltimore City Col- lege. i6mo. Clothe 50 cents. This comedy is so well adapted to the wants of beginners that it is surprising that no adequate edition of it has hitherto been published in this country. By a careful revision of the text, ample notes, and a complete vocabulary, the editor has tried to meet this want. Prof Edwin F. Bacon, State Normal School, Oneonta, N. Y. I am using with much satisfaction your recently published edition of Der Neffe ah Onkel, and find it the clearest, neatest, and best printed German text that I have ever seen in a book of its class ; and, as the notes and vocabulary are also excellent, I beg to express the hope that, in the interest of human eyes, you may go on to issue other German classics in the same style. Why should this be the only one of Schiller's works printed in this country with notes and vocabulary ? Blessings on you for giving us one German text as good as human skill could make it ! Prof. A. Guyot Cameron, Yale University, Conn. I am delighted with your choice of the text, the charming appearance of the book, and the clear, concise, idiomatic notes, free from grammatical ovei- loading. The play is bright and lively, and I shall use it as an introduction to the longer dramatic works of Schiller. Allyn & Bacon .... Boston.^ Brandt's German Grammar. i2mo. 290 pages. $1.25. Brandt's First Book In German. i2mo. 262 pages. $1.00. ^^ The Accidence and Syntax are the same in these two books. The First Book contains also Lodeman's Manual of Exercises for Translation into German. The Grammar contains, in addi- tion to Accidence and Syntax, chapters on Phon- ology, Historical View of Inflection, History of the Language, and on Word-formation. Its dis- tinguishing features are : Complete separation of Inflection and Syntax ; Historical treatment of Syntax; Development of grammar in the light of mod- ern philology; Scientific analysis of sounds and accent. Prof. Henry Wood, Ph.D., Johns Hopkins Uni- versity. I like the grammar very much, and shall introduce it immediately to all my classes. It is a gift to scholars that will be highly appreciated. Prof. Wm. H. Carpenter, Columbia College. It marks a distinct advance in language instruction in America, and ought to be in the hands of every teacher and advanced student of the German language. Prof. E. S. Joynes, South Carolina College. In its own sphere Brandt's German Grammar is facile princeps, and whatever helps to extend its use will be a benefit to German scholarship.
