A Progressive German Reader: Adapted to the American Edition of Ollendorff's German Grammar, with Copious Notes and a Vocabulary (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Progressive German Reader: Adapted to the American Edition of Ollendorff's German Grammar, With Copious Notes and a Vocabulary
The labour of preparing a vocabulary to such a variety of matter greatly exceeded all previous calculation, and has been the cause of considerable delay in the publication of the book. A vocabulary was deemed necessary, because, in the absence of one, the beginner in resorting to a small dictionary would fitil to find many of the words - especially compounds and idiom atic expressions, and a large one would rather embarrass than assist him. The irregular verbs being in the largest portion of the book always given at the bottom of the page, it was at first deemed superfluous to repeat their principal parts in the vocabulary. This design was afterwards abandoned, and the imperfect and perfect participle are added to the infinitive of ir regular verbs -in all the letters of the alphabet except the first. In irregular and inseparable compounds the participle is repro sented in connection with the principal parts, but where the compound is separable the imperfect and participle of the simple verb alone are given. It is hoped that in a subsequent edition an opportunity will be afi'orded of reducing the vocabu. Lary to perfect uniformity.
The orthography of the Reader is essentially the same with that of the Grammar.
