Synopsis
Excerpt from A Compendious German Grammar
The author of a new German grammar, in a community where so many are already in use, and with so much approval, may well feel called upon to explain and defend his undertaking - especially, when his work is almost entirely wanting in those practical exercises, for writing and speaking, which make the principal part of the other grammars now most in use.
That. System of instruction in modern languages of which the Ollendorff grammars are popularly regarded as the type, has its unquestionable advantages where learning to speak is the main object directly aimed at, and where the smallness of the classes, and the time Spent. With the instructor, render it possible for the latter to give each pupil that amount of personal attention and drilling which is needed in order to make the system yield its best results.
