Excerpt from Graded German Lessons: Being a Practical German Grammar

When at the request of Messrs. Ginn co. I undertook to revise E ysmbac/z's German Grammar, I thought the task was not a difficult one, and that it could be accomplished within a comparatively short time. It was accordingly announced that this edition would be ready some months ago; but the labor of revision has proved so much greater than was anticipated, that it is only after more than a year from its commencement that the end has been reached. But however trying to the publishers this delay has been, it has in one way been very beneficial to me. In the mean time I have gone through, or nearly through, the book, with my two upper classes in the Roxbury Latin School, and the notes to the exercises, which form one of the principal features Of the revision, are the immediate fruit of that ex perience. The mistakes, misunderstandings, and difficulties Of my pupils taught me, day by day, where and what kind of notes were needed. Besides, the repeated, prolonged, and minute examination of the book in every part, which the instruction of my classes made necessary, enabled me to see, much better than would otherwise have been possible, both the excellencies and the defects of Eysenbach's work, and accordingly what to keep and what to eliminate or change, where to expand and where to add wholly new matter.
