PBEFACE.

IN compiling this ELEMENTARY GERMAN READER, it has been

my aim to lead the beginner on by gradual advances to a

mastery of the chief structural features of the language.

Used side by side with an elementary Class-book of Accidence,

these readings will, it is hoped, enable the young student to

steer a safe middle course between the two extremes of method

grammar before the language, and the language before

grammar.1

The safest method, after all, is the one which enables the

learner at a comparatively early stage to pursue his studies

unassisted;and the gratifying consciousness of this independence

he will not enjoy in the study of a language until he has obtained

a clear insight into the syntactical system peculiar to it.

For a beginner in German the difficulty of entering at once on

a regular course of reading lies not so much in the inflectional

system as in the perplexing order of the words. The ever-

shifting chasses-croises between subject, verb, object, and com-

plement, and, worse still, the wheel-within-wheel mechanism of

a fully developed German period, are so many stumbling-blocks

which, be the style of the extract ever so simple, beset his path

from the very first step.3

This difficulty, which cannot be shirked with impunity, but

must be dealt with the earlier the better I have endeavoured

to meet in the Introduction (pp. i. to xxiv.), by taking mystarting point from the simple sentence in its simplest form

;and

1 "II faut apprendre la grammaire par la langw, et non la langue par la gram-

maire"

is all very well in the ni-.rsery or Kindergarten ; but in unpractised hands

it reduces itself quite as often as not to the following absurdum" We must reach

the means through the end, and not the end through the means."2 te bi$ baft bw bad erflc SSort nicht ergeffen $a& tcenn bu beimlefcten angelangt

Stjl. BISHOP TEGNER.

vi PREFACE.

when once this smooth threshold is safely crossed, the student is

led on from stepping-stone to stepping-stone, each presenting

a new salient feature of German construction. This arrange-

ment will serve to map the fundamental outlines of German

construction clearly and lastingly in his mind;so that, by the

time he has reached the last page of the Introduction, he maysafely be trusted to move with a firm intellectual step through

the most intricate periods ;and his ultimate success becomes a

mere matter of time and practice. This the general plan.

As regards the filling in of this framework, I found at the

outset, even where my plan admitted only of simple and detached

sentences, that the rich mine of German proverbial lore relieved

me of the dire necessity of using meaningless made-up phrases.

It goes almost without saying that Poetry, without which no

selection can be considered complete, is introduced at a very

early stage ;not only is it, as a rule, much simpler in construction

than prose, but it also offers the inestimable advantage of being

more easily committed to memory ;and thus, doing duty in the

education of the ear, it becomes an essential factor in the mastery

of a language.

I make no apology for laying under contribution not a few

extracts which have done good service in other selections; to

exclude recognised masterpieces of German literature on this

plea alone seemed to me altogether unjustifiable. But in fairness

to those schools in which my selections from Uhland's Ballads

and from Grimm's Household Tales have been introduced, I have

given fewer extracts from these authors than would otherwise

have been the case.

That Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Heine, and others, can be but

sparingly represented in an essentially elementary Reader, need

hardly be said. In the Second Course, which is in active pre-

paration, more advanced students will be afforded ample oppor-

tunity of making themselves acquainted with the Classics.

The Vocabulary, which, I trust, will be found copious enoughto meet every reasonable want of those for whom the book is

intended, is founded on Whitney's excellent German Dictionary.

PRELIMINARY. A Complex Sentence consists of a

Principal Clause complemented by one or more Depend-ent (also called Subordinate or Accessory) clauses; i.e.

clauses which supply the place of (a) a Substantive,

(&) an Adjective, or (c) an Adverb; as,

B. The Dependent Clawe BEFOEE its PrincipalClause :

A Dependent Clause supplies, as we have seen in

the Preliminaries (p. xix), the place of a Substantive,

Adjective, or Adverb;

as such, if placed before its

Principal Clause, it affects the order of words in the

latter in the same manner as an Object, Comple-ment, Adverb, &c., introducing a Principal Clause.

Compare

Before the sun rose j Alps.

1 Notice that this placing of the Dependent Clause before its Prin-

cipal Clause causes the Verb of the latter to follow close upon the Verbof the former. Generally, however, a Conjunction or Adverb, cor-

relative to the term which introduces the first clause, is placed before

the latter :

Richard, Duke of Normandy (943996), called sans-

peur, an epithet which tells its own tale. Our poet

(Ludwig Uhland) is indebted for this incident to

a rhymed chronicle which he had studied duringhis stay in Paris (1810), "Le Roman de Ron et des

dues de Normandie," par Robert Wace (a Norman

poet who flourished in the reign of Henry II.).

Here we read that Richard" Par nuit errout (errait) comme par jor (jour),Unkes (jamais) de rien ne out (eut) poor (peur),Maint fantosme vit e (et) trova (trouva),Unkes de rien ne s'esfrea (s'effraya)," etc.

composed by Wilhelm Muller (17941827), the

father of Professor Max Muller, under the inspirationaroused by the thrilling incidents of that long pro-tracted war. Liecfer der Griechen (182124).
