IN MEMORIAM J. Henry Senger THE STUDENT'S MANUAL OF EXERCISES FOR TRANSLATING INTO GERMAN WITH FULL VOCABULARY, , NOTES,- .REFERENCES, AND GENERAL." SCC PREPARED AND ARRANGED TO ACCOMPANY BRANDT'S GERMAN GRAMMAR Ar -LODEMAN, A.M. PROFESSOR OF GERMAN AND FRENCH IN THE MICHIGAN STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Boston ALLYN AND BACON PUBLISHERS Copyright, 1885, by G. P. Putnants Sons. IN MEMORTAM REMARKS AND EXPLANATIONS. THE following EXERCISES have been prepared with the twofold purpose of furnishing to the student material for translating into German, and of assisting him in the analysis and translation of the more difficult illustrations in Brandt's German Grammar. That examples from the German classics are the proper kind of illustrations for a text-book of such high order and merit as Professor Brandt's, cannot be doubted. Had the author illustrated his rules by means of sentences especially adapted to the understanding of the young student, the latter, upon completing the course in grammar, would not be well prepared to read and enjoy the works of the great German authors. If the examples found in Brandt's Grammar, in some instances, force the student to greater application, he will feel amply repaid for his extra labor when he takes up the study of the masterpieces of German literature. At all events, the present Exercises will, it is hoped, enable even the beginner to derive the full benefit from the large number of excellent illustrations drawn from the acknowledged masters of German style and embodied in Brandt's Grammar. Should he find any difficulty in translating any one of them, 985151 4 REMARKS AND EXPLANATIONS. he has only to refer, by means of the table given below, to the corresponding English Exercise, and he will find that one or more of the English sentences will greatly aid him in the understanding of the German example. The Grammar referred to throughout the book (including the Vocabulary) is Brandt's Grammar of the German Lan- guage. Paragraphs to be read over merely are put in ( ). In the Exercises, words in [ ] should not be translated, while those in ( ) are required by the German idiom. The cognate mark ( + ) is put, as a rule, only where even the beginner can recognize the common origin of English and German words after having had his attention called to it. When the German word is preceded by the article, the + is placed before the latter. Figures at the end of sentences refer to those sections in the Grammar in which more or less of the material required for the German sentence may be found. The VOCABULARY contains all words not explained in the notes, except such grammatical words (pronouns, prepositions, ate.) as are easily found in the very paragraphs to which the student is referred for each exercise. The notes under the first twenty exercises are so full as to do away with the use of the Vocabulary, TABLE SHOWING IN WHICH EXERCISES ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE VARIOUS PARAGRAPHS OF THE GRAMMAR MAY BE FOUND.

It is not intended that the rules on the Declension of Nouns, as pre- sented in the Grammar, should be committed to memory. The student, by carefully perusing them, in connection with the written exercises, will learn to observe closely the various forms ; and, in the future, he should learn, as far as possible, the Nom. Sing., Gen. Sing., and Nom. Plur. of each noun, as all the other cases can be given when these are known. 1. The dog has caught a badger. 2. My friend has seen two hawks. 3.

The gender of nouns has to be learned mainly by practice, and the stu- dent should therefore endeavor to learn with each German noon the article (ber, tie, or tas) belonging to it. The rnles in the Grammar (159, ff.), however, will be of great service ; some in a practical way (e.g., 159, 161, 3. 164), and others, because they will help the student in getting an insight into the "genius of the language." Wherever a large number of examples are given, as in these paragraphs, it will hardly repay the beginner to learn the meanings of all of them ; the nouns under 16O might be mentioned, with their meanings, by the teacher, letting the pupil state the gender ; while the gender of those under 161 maybe determined by their form alone, without reference to their meaning. 1. (The) Queen Louisa was a noble woman. 2. The Danube, the Oder, the Elbe, the Weser, and the Ehine are the largest rivers of Germany. 3. Many prefer beautiful Spain to colder France. 4. The little boy lies in the cradle. 5. Thou art a heathen. 6. The witches were dancing on the heath. 7. The workman has placed his earnings in the bank. 8. The merit of the minister is great. 9. The boy has again lost his knife. 10. Bring me the third volume of Bancroft's history. 11. Is not this blue ribbon too dark ? 12. The knight has a shield, the merchant a sign-board. 13. What a fool you are! 14. In the gate [there] is a small door. 15. The marble of Carrara is white. 16. "Bands of robbers move about." 3. Prefer, $tef>en or (see 137 ; 350). 4. Little loy, bad tf naMein (161, 3). 5. Heathen, see 162, 3 (435, 3), where also some of the nouns in the following sentences are to be found. 7. Placed, here gefcrad)t* Earnings, p. 59.

REMARK. The correct use of the prepositions, in any language, can only be acquired by long observation and practice. The student, to perfect his knowledge of this diffi- cult portion of the German language, should observe and learn many prepositional phrases which he finds in his reading-lessons.

When we play cards, we never play for money (304, 7). 3. We are going to Paris; come with [us]. 4. A year from to-day you will meet again (306, 7). 5. The colonel ranks above the captain. 6.

A conjunctive clause must be used whenever the subject of the participle is not the same as that of the principal verb. 6. Kept = made. 8. To be tramslated in two ways. 11. Use the passive, or the active with man. 13. See note, under 2. 2ftit with the infin. may also be used here. 18.

CHARDENAL'S FRENCH SERIES. BY C. A. CHARDENAL, Bachelier-es-Lettres de I'Unwersite de France. First French Course, or Rules and Exercises for Beginners. 16mo, 260 pages. New edition, in large type. 60 cents. Second French Course, or French Syntax and Reader. 16mo, 250 pages. 60 cents. Exercises for Advanced Pupils, containing Rules of Syn- tax, Exercises on Rules and Idioms, and a Dictionary of nearly Four Thousand Idiomatical Verbs, Sentences, Familiar Phrases, and Proverbs. 16mo, 332 pages. 90 cents. This Series has been adopted for use at : Harvard College, Johns Hopkins University, Yale College, Columbia College, N. Y., Williams College, Hamilton College, N. Y., Bowdoin College, Washington and J. College, Pa., Wabash College, Ind., Adelbert College, Ohio, State University, Ind., Marietta College, Ohio, Norfolk College, Va., Wesleyan University, Ohio, Washington University, Mo., Iowa State University, University of Kansas, Olivet College, Mich. ; and in numerous High Schools and Academies throughout the country. These books have been prepared for all who wish to begin or continue the study of French, and by the simplicity of the language, the careful progression of the exercises, and the thoroughness of the treatment are adapted to the wants of all pupils between the ages of twelve and seventeen. The First Course in itself supplies all the instruction necessary for reading intelligently easy French prose, and the subse- quent volumes aim to develop a mastery of all the principles of syntax, as well as ease and fluency in French conversation. Chardenal's French Series. The First and Second Courses contain carefully graded extracts from Jules Verne, Erckmann-Chatrian, E. About, Beranger, Louis Blanc, Alexandre Dumas, Balzac, Lamartine, Victor Hugo, and other modern writers, together with complete vocabularies; thus affording interesting instruction in reading in addition to the usual translation of exercises. The last book of the series contains a long list of French idioms and phrases, arranged in sections, with exercises for translation and retranslation on each section. Prof. Schele De Vere, University of Virginia. After a painstaking examination, I can endorse Chardenal's French Course as the work of an experienced, highly-gifted teacher. The Junior and the Advanced Courses are admirably arranged, and cannot fail to bring the student almost impercep- tibly forward, till teacher and pupil alike feel that the task is accomplished. Among new features the carefully chosen vocabularies, and above all the collection of idioms deserve special commendation. I am sure the volumes need only to be well known to be very generally adopted. Prof. Henry Johnson, Bowdoin College, Me. They are excellent text- books, and a teacher who would speak French to and with his class could not fail to use them with great advantage. I use them in our advanced class here. Prof. A. M. Elliott, Johns Hopkins University, Md. We have adopted both the Advanced and First Courses in our work in this University. I like them better than anything else I have seen in English. Prof. S. B. Platner, Adalbert College, Ohio. I am using Chardenal's Series with my classes, and am exceedingly well pleased with the books. They are by far the best that I know of for the purpose intended. Prof. Alc^e Fortier, Tulane University, New Orleans. I find the books excellent, and well suited to give to the pupil a practical, as well as a theoreti- cal, knowledge of the language. Prof. Karcher, Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. Le recueil d'exer- cices public par M. Chardenal repond parfaitement, selon moi, au but que 1'auteur se propose. . . . En un mot, ces exercices apprendront aux eleves a parler francais, au lieu de se servir de phrases litteralement traduites de Tanglais. Prof. Ch. Cassal, LL.D., University College, London, Je puis vous dire en toute sincerite, que vous avez fait un travail bon et utile. Le recueil d'expressions idiomatiques est excellent et ferait k lui seul le succes de yotre livre. IT Allyn 6* Bacon, Publishers. 364, Washington Street ', Boston. GERMAN TEXT BOOKS. Brandt's German Grammar. A Grammar of the German Language for College Use, by Professor H. C. G. BRANDT, Hamil- ton College, New York. Fourth Edition. 12mo, 290 pages. $1.25. Brandt's First Book in German, containing the Accidence and Syntax of the Grammar, together with Lodeman's Manual of Exercises for Translation. 12mo, 262 pages. $1.00. The Accidence and S} r ntax are the same in the above two books ; the Grammar contains, in addition, chapters on Pho- nology, Historical View of Inflection, History of the Language, and on Word-formation. Its distinguishing features are : (1) complete separation of inflection and syntax ; (2) the histori- cal treatment of S}'ntax ; (3) the development of grammar in the light of modern philology ; (4) the scientific analysis of sounds and accent. Prof. Henry Wood, Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University. 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 ad- vance in language instruction in America, and ought to be in the hands of every teacher and advanced student of the German language. Prof. Edward 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. Prof. Albert S. Cook, University of California, I consider it the most scientific grammar of the modern German language now before the public, the only one that does full justice to the discoveries of modern philology. Lodeman's Manual of Exercises for Translation into Ger- man. Prepared to accompany Brandt's German Grammar, by Professor A. LODEMAX, Michigan State Normal School. 12mo. 50 cents. 18 Allyn 6* Bacon, Publishers. 364, Washington Street, Boston. Brandt's German Reader for Beginners. With Notes and Vocabulary. 12mo, 400 pages. $1.25. The aim of the editor has been to prepare a book which, first of all, shall be practical, supplying sufficient material to enable the pupil to read with ease ordinary German prose. It is progressive, leading step by step from the simplest prose and poetry to matter of usual difficulty. It is interesting, containing a large variety of selections, none of them trivial, and many of permanent value. It is attractive in appearance, the generous space between the lines enabling the student to read the German text with ease. The extracts are divided into six sections : SECTION I. Easy Prose, containing selections from Niebuhr's Heroen- Geschichten, and Grimm's and Andersen's Fairy Tales. SECTION II. Easy Poetry, containing such specimens from Heine, Goethe, Claudius, Chamisso, etc., as present the least difficulty. SECTION III. Legends and Tales, giving somewhat harder prose from Richter's Deutsche Sagen ; short complete stories from Auerbach, Hack- lander, and Erler ; and an episode adapted from Freytag's Soil und Haben. SECTION IV. Songs and Lyrics, consisting of slightly more difficult poems from Uhland, Schiller, Heine, Goethe, Geibel, Arndt, Riickert, Kb'rner, Burger, etc. SECTION V. A Comedy by Benedix, Versalzen, as an example of the colloquial language of educated people. SECTION VI. Historical Prose, containing extracts from the popular histories of Grube, Luttringhaus, and Dielitz. Schiller's der Neffe als Onkel. Edited, with Notes and Vocabulary, by Professor C. F. RADDATZ, Baltimore City College. 16mo. 50 cents. This comedy is so well adapted to the wants of beginners that it is sur- prising 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. 19 ID U I HU 7 925151 THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARY 1|
