INTRODUCTION.
OF all offices which characterize words and render them func-
tionally distinct from one another, none is more complex, more
important and more useful in ministering to the power and
intelligibility of speech than that of the verb. Like the adjec-
tive, the attributive verb qualifies the subject ; but besides this
it adds affirmation, time, manner, number and person. It ani-
mates a word-complex — gives action — gives wings to human
utterance; its absence would suspend coherence; and its total
loss would irreparably wreck speech as a medium of intelli-
gence, consigning the residue to a helpless, lifeless verbiage.
In their totality the parts of speech form a perfect union, one
becoming the complement of the other, but considering ex
necessitate rei critically their relative power for conveying
intelligence we must award the palm to the verb. Let us sup-
pose a traveler in a foreign country, forcibly restricted in his
intercourse with its people to the use of but two of the classes of
words into which language is divided. If he has his wits about
him, he will make his choice of the verb and the pronoun.
Armed with these, he can (in the active) lodge, eat, drink, sleep,
admire, dance, sing, love, hate, punish, knock, cheat, kill, bury,
or (in the passive) he may be lodged, eaten, admired, loved,
hated, punished, knocked, cheated, killed, and buried (all very
rational) ; whereas with the second choice, the adjective and the
noun, his speech would assume the eccentricity of interjections,
and uttering : " rough journey ! bad dinner ! horrid bed ! greedy
driver! expensive country! foolish people! sick! disgusted!
home, sweet home I" though interlarded with all the emphasis
and gestures of veracity, it would not save him from the lock-
up, and might render a diplomatic intervention of the foreign
office imperative.
viii INTRODUCTION.
Be it understood that our task is not to give a traditional re-
production of the verb, undraped, meaningless, the recital of
whose divisions is only comparable to the juvenile horror of the
multiplication table, in which the unpitied sufferer cannot give
the simplest multiple of a number without returning to the
beginning of a section. "We do not propose any such ignomini-
ous, uncharitable infliction. A rational appreciation of its value
assures it higher recognition. Our verb shall appear in all the
eclat that can be imparted by & premier rdle and a full attendance
of all the dramatis personae comprised in a reputable grammar
in good standing. In its acting it shall assume the semblance
of reality, for every one of its Fs, you's, he's, she's, etc., shall be
vivified by a pair of gleeful eyes that shall assist throughout
its varied performances.
Colloquial language is made up of aggregations of words —
word-groupings — word-complexes — according to the lesser or
greater power of the mind, and not of segregated terms that
must go through a process of editing, to conform to the thought,
before they are ready for the tongue to utter. Hence it must
be apparent to any one studying a foreign idiom that, when a
language is presented in word-casts analogous to those he uses
in the vernacular, all readily malleable into the grammatical
requirements imposed by either I, you, he, we, they, accord-
ing to the exgencies of person, time, place, and extension, a
daily practice in flexion of such word-casts with all the impres-
siveness of actual conversation must be of very great advantage
to the student.
Max Muller and other writers on mental operations tell us
that we cannot think without the thought taking form in
words. This, in itself, if true, suggests how irrationally we pro-
ceed to bring about the necessary coalescence of word and object
in our mind by seeking to effect it through a compendium of
rules and laws and a train of reasoning liberated thereby. This
road is exceedingly devious and doubtful, and following it we
shall never reach the goal of speaking a foreign tongue.
We possess a language fully only when the force and meaning
INTRODUCTION. ix
of a word or an array of words are simultaneous with their sight
and utterance ; otherwise language is neither a comfort nor a
pleasure. Many carry a chronic habit of dissecting from their
classics to the living languages ; and accoutred as if for a geolog-
ical tramp, they probe with hammer and pick for subject, pred-
icate, and accessories, and are supremely happy when they
obtain a faint glimpse of their meaning, and astonished and
delighted at their own cunning, they sotto voce vote themselves
crownlets of martyrdom, tacitly accepting, and self-compla-
cently bowing to a title of linguistic proficiency. They thus
periodically wreck a generous fit of mental activity, and never
get on any further. They resemble, in their spasmodic efforts, a
diver who, under great difficulties, can search and grope about
under water, but cannot stand it very long. The luxury of
speaking a foreign tongue and reading it at sight, is unknown
to them. One possessing dark vaults full of rare natural curi-
osities which he can view only by the intermittent flashes of
lucifer matches, would not be in a worse plight for gaining
knowledge than they, with their dim light, standing at the
threshold of untold literary treasures.
In fact they are unwitting victims of analysis and synthesis
let loose upon them; and when these have done their work, there
is nothing left but doubt, muddle, and confusion. Instance the
following perpetrated by one of these: ,,©uten 2ftorgen," and as
his mental tide was in, he ventured clear off his base by adding :
,,td) tyabe erfyalten biefen Sftorgen etncn ^ocfyfiiegenben £alg" (I have
received this morning a highflying neck). Perceiving the sur-
prise and mystification produced by this extraordinary assem-
blage of words, he falteringly explained that he wanted to say :
" I have got a sore throat this morning " (3d) fydbe fyeute ntorgen
$al£wety). Sore = n>el); to soar = ^o^piegett!! The victim
looked aghast, and the tide went out. . . . The Englishman's
French : " ne laissez pas sortir le feu? which he pronounced
foo (fou /) and which led to a ridiculous mistake, and that of
another who had " le grand esprit de terrasser le garqon " (the
great intelligence to knock down the waiter), are blunders of the
x INTRODUCTION.
same kind, barring the mixed English of the above highflyer.
We commend him to page 56 of the Verb-drill with injunctions
to practice the themes there given every day for a few minutes ; by
so doing, he will soon escape the uncertainties of sentence-build-
ing. There is no need of any perennial tugging at the rudiments
of this branch of knowledge. The Yerb-drill will accomplish for
the pupil all that an enthusiast could desire, and help him in the
shortest time out of shoals into deep, untroubled water, at the
least outlay of time and application.
The verb in the Yerb-drill, as already hinted, holds throughout
regal sway, and the rest of the tribe dance attendance at its
court. It opens the procession first unattended ; then graciously
condescending it escorts a lonely accusative; then it joins a
stately dative duly attended by a preposition, besides showing
opportunely stray caprices for a genitive ; further on, it increases
its train by adjectives, determinatives, adverbs and conjunctions
while rioting among prepositions and the oblique cases. From
having been active it retires, later on, into a state of passivity,
and bows submissively to the aggressions of the throng. Before
closing, it resumes its activity and prestige, and after having
been in turn weak, strong, irregular, separable and inseparable,
transitive and intransitive, neuter, personal and impersonal,
reflexive, active and passive, indicative, subjunctive, optative,
imperative and infinitive, it closes its career in a multifarious
agency, with the strongest presumptive claim, that an earnest
devotion to it will alone open to the true seeker the portals to
its shrine, and initiate him into the mysteries of spoken and
written language.
The Yerb-drill has been well tested in classes, and from the
abiding interest and delight it awakens it might be likened to a
parlor game. Those who have witnessed eyes fairly dancing
when " Yerb-drill " is announced will grant the comparison. It
always affords both rest and diversion, and ten to fifteen minutes
taken from the regular routine work and devoted to its practice,
will act not only as a welcome relief, but will, in its efficiency as
an agent fdr rapid and correct speaking, lead to most surprising

results. To give a general idea of its operation a few of its
minor themes are here presented. At the beginning our model-

Respecting the foregoing, Robert will now take the lead,
and the teacher asks Charles : ,,2Bo£ tfyut Robert ?" and the re-
sponse will fall into the third person : ,,(£r fptelt jie^t, 3C*"; then
xii INTRODUCTION.
Robert joins Charles, and they change the above themes into
the first person plural: ,,2Bir fpielen je£t $tano ;" and to the
question: ,,2Ba$ tfyitn fte?" by the teacher, the responses by a
third party will be: ,,<5ie fpielen jefct $icmo, K," After this we
return to the beginning once more, and make interrogative in-
versions, such as : ,,<5pielen ©ie $iano ?" ,,<sptelten <5ie, ober
Ijaben <5ie gejlern $tano $efpielt?" ,,3Berben @te morgen $iano
fptelen?" ,,2Mrben <5te 3>tcmo fpielen, foenn @ie fbnnten? :c."
receiving to each a direct answer. Thus we proceed in a well
defined plan to more and more complex themes involving com-
pound sentences, as: ,,3$ fcfylafe beS 97acfyt3 gewBfynlidj me ttor
elf Ufyr etn, wenn ify ben £a$ itber arkite," ,,2^eine franfe Sautter

er kn^b^e, bte n?ir jenfett beg SBalbeS fe^en, geniefe t^ oft ben
rei&enbjhn 5lnblirf iiber bte Sanbfttyaft K."
Thus by a constant recurrence of the inflectional apparatus, as
exhibited by the verb in its various phases of time and mode,
and by supplying the student with a great variety of thoughts, as
embodied in the themes (the constituents of which necessarily
are e^xpressed in their grammatical relations), the student's ear
cannot but be impressed by these verbal modifications, and their
purport must come to him instantaneously. So the grammatical
forms coming before him uniformly consistent, and falling in
rapid succession upon his ear, it must soon acquire a habit and
fine discrimination of what is proper and right in the language.
The claims of the verb in language training has been indis-
putably established by a series of remarkable results achieved in
a special practice devoted to it. "With this practice the acquisi-
tion of its use was prompt, and, being constantly attended by the
other parts of speech, a feeling or sense ((Spradjgefiityl) for correct
construction was speedily created.
The field being apparently new and untrodden, it was believed
that a comprehensive guide encompassing the system might not
be unwelcome to the public and the fraternity. In view of this,
material accumulating from several years' practical use in the
INTRODUCTION. xiii
class-room has been collated and arranged, and the result is
the present volume which, limited to a special field, makes no
pretension to absolutism with hostile intent of supplanting other
systems, but is offered merely as an addendum or supplement to
any approved book in the language of which it treats, and is
ready, side by side with such, to assume, in all deference, a
hitherto neglected branch of work, in which its merits, real and
lasting, may assure it a reliable companionship.
It is hoped, therefore, that its pages may find a fair exam-
ination, a correct interpretation, and a thoroughly exhaustive
trial.
SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHEES.
As already stated in the preceding, the Verb-drill should
assume the form of actual discourse, and should be specially
guarded from lapsing into a mere recitation or droning of tenses.
The id)'s and @ie's, idj's and er's, ttrir's and Sfyr's, tint's and jte's,
should always go in pairs successively around the class in such
a manner that all pupils are afforded an equal opportunity to
practice in turn the several persons in the dialogue.
Before beginning, the inflectional apparatus of the verb, as
shown by the heavy type in each sectional analysis, should be
pointed out, or, in a class-room, illustrated on the blackboard.
It should be shown that the infinitive ends in *ett; the first
person singular, present tense (weak conjugation) in *e; the
second person plural (polite address) in *e\t, like the infinitive.
After all the themes are exhausted on these id)'s and (Ene's of
the present tense, proceed to the imperfect, pointing out the
changes, which here consist in simply prefixing those endings just
learned by a t, as : first person, id) — *te, second person, (£te
— *tenf and along with these also the perfect, showing the
analogy of id) tyafce, @te fyafeett, with the endings of the present
and the changes incurred by the past participle in taking a t in
place of the infinitive ending *ent and before it the augment
ge* — * Having thus proceeded from tense to tense, through
each of which all the given themes shall have passed, return to
the beginning and pass them once more, but serially through
the several tenses, constituting the scope of our conjugation, as
shown in the model-drill 13.
Whenever practicable, do not fail, in these exercises, to engage
both the eyes and ears of your pupils. The accompaniment of an
appropriate pantomime, expressive of the action and meaning
of the verb, will greatly aid in fixing it in the memory.
SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHEBS.
XV
In order to impress the force of the ending-changes in the
tense-divisions, the adverbs of time, jefct, geftern, morgen have
been added at once. So, when saying (id) fpiele) fe^t, emphasize
it with a suitable hand-motion indicative of now ; for geffcttt,
pointing backward over your shoulder would afford, perhaps,
the best gesture expressive of yesterday , and a hand-wave for-
ward to a vague distance the best for ntotgett, to-morrow.
These drills are for both oral and sight practice ; however, a
decided preference should be given to the oral, and especially
when a certain facility of articulation has been reached. Yet
there will be found themes through the book, for instance, those
in the third person or those which are too complex, which, from
their nature, are not suitable for oral responses, and may, there-
fore, be inflected with aid of sight. Of course, when pupils are
called upon to lead, they will invariably use the book to an-
nounce the themes. As these themes will have to be often re-
peated, to prevent monotony and staleness in these exercises, it
were well that new ones of the same class should be supplied.
To retain zeal and interest for the drills, twelve to fifteen
minutes, and no more, should be allotted to them at every
lesson. By proceeding thus persistently, it will not be long
before the pupil, conscious of an accretive volubility, will, like a
fledgeling, unurged, try his wings, and begin to twitter to his
own delight and that of his teacher.
It was impossible in the development of the plan always to
have themes that would yield readily to a general flexion, and at
the same time retain a clear and logical meaning in passing
through all the tenses. This difficulty especially followed the
admission of subordinate conjunctions introducing clauses, add-
ing thereby to the unwieldiness of the themes. Such, then, as,
from this reason, become obscured in any stage of their progress,
should not be proceeded with.
In respect to the second person singular ®u, the familiar
address of the German, it was, on mature reflection, concluded
not to add it to the polite address @{e, as rather embarrassing
and unnecessarily crowding the difficulties to overcome. It was,
xvi SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS.
therefore, purposely neglected. From a strictly utilitarian stand-
point, the American student can easily forego this address.
Should he desire to acquire it, he will do well to defer it until
he has fully mastered the polite form. The ending distinguish-
ing the familiar form, being fit, and the radical vowel of the verb
changing whenever the third person singular does, he should
have no difficulty in making the themes available for its practice.
Moreover, from page 116, this second person is given of all verbs
of the strong conjugation.
Again, owing to a multiplicity of details to be considered in
proceeding onward, an evenly ascending scale of difficulties in
the themes could not always be maintained ; hence the student
will frequently encounter some that, for the time being, may be
too abrupt for him. Such, he will do well to pass until a time
later when, from easier stages, he may reach their level.
Always mindful of our axiom repetitio mater studiorum, we
have, in order to bring from time to time before the student the
entire vocabulary at certain stages, disintegrated the themes
therein contained, and reunited the individual words succinctly
into a solid paragraph. The aim was a coherent composition ;
but we are obliged to admit that we have only partially suc-
ceeded, and are sorry to have been compelled to move within
the unlettered sphere of a Johnny, a servant girl, or a man-
servant ; however, with each accession of words, coherence and
logical sequence will improve. Those having made the attempt
to write a composition from any given column of words out of
a dictionary will conceive the difficulty involved, and will readily
make allowance for paragraphs that appear rhapsodical and
wanting in continuity ; but if rhetoric is defective, Grammar
shall have its due.
In conclusion, the author would say to those who have so
warmly welcomed, in word and deed, his first attempt, " The
Cumulative Method" which has already reached a fourth edition
within but little more than a twelvemonth, that he feels under
many obligations to them. He can only venture the hope that
this, his second effort, may merit the like reception.

Analysis.
The nine prepositions:
in, in iifcer, over tyinter, behind
anf, upon nefcen, by, near, next $nrifd)en, between
unter, under fcor, before an, on
require the dative when the locality is mentioned where the action
takes place, or rest is implied, as : £)er $ifd) ijl in bem 3immer»
These prepositions are used adverbially by prefixing them with
ba^, bar#, as :
fcarttt, in it bariifcer, over it ba^inter, behind it
barauf, upon it banetien, near it, by the side of it baser, before it
baran, on it bajttrifcfyen, between it barunter, under it

used in phrases similar to those above when actuality is implied or recognized
by the speaker. As in French, an extravagant use of the subjunctive in con-
versation would be considered highly affected and comical.

TRANSITIVE VERBS WITH THE GENITIVE.
Analysis.
In colloquial speech, verbs of this class have exchanged their
genitive for the accusative, or have paraphrased it with a preposi-
tion; but, in dignified speech or written language, the genitive still
prevails in combination with them. They require the person in
the accusative and the object in the genitive.

f In the compound tenses, perfect and pluperfect, these verbs including
$d§en (to order), $elfem $oren, fetyem madden, and sometimes lernen, when combined
with another infinitive, do not make use of the regular past participle form,
but retain the infinitive form instead. See Model-Drills 158, 159, 160.

(Urn, in order to, is usually added to express the design or purpose more for-
cibly.)
2) After nouns, such as : Sujl» desire ; Sftutfj, courage ; Beit, ©eTegentjett, 5Phtpe/
leisure, etc. Ex.: (£r $at £ufl ju tanjen* 3$ tyft&e feine 3eit> SKuptf ©elegentyeit, meine

4) As subject of the sentence, it is frequently connected with ju, as : ©einett

5) Where it assumes the import of an adjectival attribute, as : 2>er flei^ige

USE OF PARTICIPLES.
Analysis.
I. The present participle has active force and can be used —
a) Like an adjective, attributively and predicatively, as:
ATTBEBUTIVE. KUEDIOATIVB.
broken. Die brofyenbe ©efaf)r» !Die (Sefa^r t(l bro^ent)*

Brennen* Die Brennenbe grage, Die grage ijl 6rennenb,f
I) Predicatively, with another verb, being then an abridged
representative of an entire sentence, and rendered capable, in this
form, of being merged in another, as :
©tefjenb fhrfc ber JpelbJ = $)er £efo ftor&, inbem er flegte*
53etenb f(%I&ft ba$ ^inb ein = Da« $inb f^taft cin, tnbent eg Met

Sa^enb gab id) i^m bie §anb = 34 gcib i^m bie §anb, inbem id)
* Knock-down argument.
f Others, again, cannot readily be used predicatively. We can say : ber lefenbc
ber lo&enbe Ce^rer, ba« ftyreienbe ^inb; but not well : ber ©c&iiler i(l lefenb, ber
ill loBenb, ba$ tfinb ijl f^reienb. Such are better paraphrased by: ber <5<pler,
liejl; ber Ce^rer, toel^er lofct; bad ^inb, mVfy* fc^rett.
J These expressions, however, partake of the dramatic, and are not used
colloquially.

Sine (Eigarre raudjenb trat er in = Sr trat in ben <Saal, intern er eine

c) The present participle, originating from the infinitive with
311, is of passive force, as :
Sin 311 JefenbeS 33it<fy, paraphrased : ein 23u$, toetdjeS gelefen foerben fann
ober fott.
The pupil will paraphrase similarly the following sentences :
1* Sin 311 parfenber Coffer, 7. Sin $u fdpet&enber 33rtef.
2» Sine 311 fiiflenbe S^fte. 8» Sin 311 malenbea portrait,

6, Sin 311 fcauenbeS §aits, 12* Sine 311 fo^enbe
II. The past participle of a transitive verb has passive meaning
and can be used —
a) Like an adjective, both attributively and predicatively, as :
ATTRIBUTIVE. PREDICATIVE.
Sin serlorener (Bc^Iiijfet, Sin ©djliiffel ifl ijerloren,
Sin ge^oBelter ^u^oben* Sin guj^oben ifl ge^oBelt
Sin gepatfter Coffer, Sin Coffer ifl geparft,
Sin gele^rter ^ann» Sin 9ftann i^ gete^rt.
I) The past participle of only those intransitives that are con-
jugated with fein* admit of an attributive use, as :
2>r gefaHene (Bd)nee, £er (Bd^nee ifl gefaflen.
T)ie ijerflofiene $t\t. <£it 3eit ifl »erflo(|en»
2)ie angefommenen greunbe. X;ie ^reunbe ftnb angefommen,
c) Both participles, when capable of being used attributively,
can also be used as substantives in all genders, as: ber Siefcenbe, etn
* Of intransitives conjugated with fjafcen, we can, for example, not say :
S)ie gefclityete S3tome, for we say : T>ie S3Iumc ^at gefclityet.
2)ad gebranntc $aii^f " " " 2)ad ^»au^ l^at gebrannt.
Dad gefc^lafenc tinb, " " " Da3 ^inb $at gef^Iafen.
2)er geru^tc Sanberer, " " " 2)er SSanbcrer ^at geru^t.

®ett>0flte, fcad ©enwnfdjte, fcaS SBerfcente (that which is to be).
d) Usage also allows a peculiar adverbial application of the
past participle of verbs expressing motion with the verb fommen, as:
er fommt gegangen — gelaufen — gercmnt — gefatjren — geritten, instead
of: er fommt getjent — laufenfc — rennenfc — fafyrenfc — reitenfc*
ADJECTIVES GOVERNING CASES.
Analysis.
Adjectives can only govern the genitive or the dative as cases
really dependent on them. The accusative, as the object of an
action, can in reality be required only by a transitive verb. An
adjective can have no object, therefore governs no accusative. *

3* leer* ?0?ut|to^ tmb tterlaffen, ftnbe ic^ bie 5BcIt aHct ^tctibcn leer.
* With adjectives, however, which express extension in space or time,
weight or value, the statement of such measure, weight, or value, stands in the
accusative, as (predicatively) : Die S5anf if! eincn $u§ fcreit; ba3 S3uc^ ijl einen finger

Sent tterfy. These may also be used attributively when they do not render the
language too cumbrous. In this case, they agree with their nouns, as : etne,
einen gujj fcrette S3anf; ba^, einen finger &rette 93uc^; etm einen <Stotf $o§e$ |>au^j ctnf

tive, as: frei *on atten SJorurt^etlen; bte ©tabt ijl »ofl »on 5Wenfc^en. Besides »ott, the
form hotter is also used, as: 3$ Hn softer ^reube; bad S5u^ ijl »otfer Seller; ber

NOTE. — SWan is undeclinable, and only used in the nominative. For the
other cases, colloquial language resorts to the indefinite pronoun einer, as : bad
mu§ (Bitten argent, that must vex one ; er banft (Stncm ni$t etnmal, he does not even
thank one.
<£tner, cine, eineS becomes an indefinite pronoun when representing one of a
kind, as: §ier tft einer (ein Staler); ^ier tfl cine (cine S3Iume); l^ier i|l eincd (ein 93u$).
Siner meiner ^reunbe; cine »on biefen Sfebern; eined »on btefen ^inbern.
Sebermann marks only its genitive with an $ ; thus : SebermannS. The dative
and accusative are like the nominative.
3emanb and 9?iemanb are like 3ebermann, but, to avoid some possible ambiguity,
they are also declined thus :

D. 3cmanbem or 3emanb

VOCABULARY
WORDS are here defined in accordance with their meanings used in this
book.
The genitive singular and the nominative plural of nouns are given in
parentheses ; when the dash ( — ) is used without ending, it means that the
word remains unchanged from the nominative given, as : ber Seller ( — 3, — ),
and should be read : genitive singular, bed %fykt$i nominative plural, bie $e$Ier.
2Me $itd)e ( — , — n); genitive singular, ber $ud)e; nominative plural, bie ^itdjeiu
Nouns that modify their radical vowels in the plural are fully given, thus : ber
SJogel ( — $, 23ogel), Being in possession of the principal parts of the declension,
the pupil should now have no difficulty in finding in the Tables of Reference,
on page 246, the fully declined paradigm of the nouns (and other declinable
words) whose declensions he should wish to construct entire.
The hyphen ( - ) dividing a verb denotes that it is separable.
The figures, after strong and irregular verbs, refer to the synopsis of such
verb or its paradigm in the Tables beginning on page 116, and continuing
intermittently to page 195.

parentheses.

FIFTH EDITION.
THE
Cumulative Method for Learning German,
By ADOLPHE DREYSPRING.
EMPHATIC TESTIMONY.
*' I consider it a very valuable work." — H. E. HOOKER, Mount HolyoJce Seminary,
South Hadley, Mass.
" The * Cumulative Method in German ' I am most highly pleased with. Shall
use it next term." — 0. H. FOSTER, Macon, Miss.
" Your * Cumulative Method for Learning German ' is an excellent little book,
and I have decided to use it in my beginners' class." — Professor H. A. LIEBIO,
Brockport, N. T.
" I am much pleased with your * Cumulative Method for Learning German.' I
believe it to be eminently practical." — Rev. J. M. WILLIAMS, Portland, Me., late
President of Wesleyan Female College, Wilmington, Del.
" I am extremely well pleased with the book. The author's method of teaching
the language is the best I have ever seen. I hasten to supply my pupils with the
book."— C. H. STROUT, Boys' Boarding-School, Fox Chase, Philadelphia, Pa.
"Professor Dreyspring's system of teaching German with as little English as
possible, and by the ' Cumulative ' process, must commend itself to every practical
teacher. An examination of his specimen pages is to me very satisfactory." —
HOWARD CROSBY, D. D., New York.
" I have examined several of the popular methods of teaching modern languages,
and have taught three of them, and I consider Mr. Dreyspring's * Cumulative Method
for Learning German,' of which I have seen some fifty specimen pages, as the best
one that I have seen." — Professor JAMES WOOD DAVIDSON, New York.
"I have carefully examined the 'Cumulative Method for Learning German."
The plan of the work is, in my judgment, the best and most rational pursued in the
study of language. It is the outgrowth of the experience and reflection of an able,
practical teacher. We have a large class of young ladies and gentlemen using the
'Method,' and accomplishing excellent results." — CHARLES E. GORTON, Superintend-
ent of Schools, Yonkers, N. Y.
" I have examined Dreyspring's * German Method,' and I am prepared to indorse it
heartily. It seems to me to comprehend the merits while avoiding the faults of the
'Mastery System,' and of the so-called 'Natural Method.' I like especially the
' cumulative ' feature of the instruction, and the exclusive use of simple language in
the exercises and stories. It is not the least of its merits that it requires a teacher,
and not a mere hearer of lessons." — Rev. M. K. HOOPER, Principal of Academy,
Yonkers, N. Y.
" Mr. Dreyspring's ' Cumulative Method of Learning German ' strikes me as a
very good, practical method, and its author has manifestly made himself thoroughly
master of his subject. There can be little doubt that teachers who should get a
clear apprehension of the subject from his position, and who should acquire some
of the enthusiasm for his method with which he is inspired, would accomplish bet-
ter results with this method than with any other which has been proposed." — D. R.
GOODWIN, Dean of Divinity School, West Philadelphia, Pa., formerly Provost of the
University of Pennsylvania.
"Professor Dreyspring's 'Cumulative Method of Learning German' has been in
use in this school since the beginning of the present session. It has also been used
by my teacher with a class of adults. In both cases it has given entire satisfaction,
and has proved itself to be admirably adapted to securing the power to speak and
write the German language with the least expenditure of time. This result bears
testimony to the author's very skillful execution of the plan of his book, for the
method itself is, of course, the only true method of learning any subject." — HENRY
TATLOCK, Principal Park Institute, Rye, N. Y.
" My knowledge of Mr. Dreyspring's scholarship and skill in teaching, derived
from association with him formerly in the work of instruction, would lead me to
expect peculiar excellence in any work of his on the study of languages, especially
of his own. But, aside from any a priori expectation, the work of his about to issue
from your press, the * Cumulative Method of Learning German,' must. I think, com-
mend itself to thoughtful teachers. In idea and in execution, its harmony with the
laws and modes of mental operation is everywhere conspicuous. This accord, in
plan and detail, with the natural processes of mental development and acquisition
secures the natural and fruitful exercise of faculties, and hence ministers thereto
the utmost aid possible to grammars. This, indeed, in not a grammar at all, of the
prevalent sort. It inverts their order. Instead of grappling at the start with rules
and forms, and recondities in general, it aims at the gradual and cumulative mastery
of these. Asking the pupil to be ' a child again,' and keeping him meanwhile un-
perplexed with theories, it aims, with much reliance on ear and eye, by processes of
constant repetition, to lead him on from gain to gain, by steps every way analogous,
to those by which he advanced to the mastery of his mother-tongue. Its examina-
tion leaves me with the impression of its admirable adaptation to the acquisition of
vernacular facility in the use of this noble language."— J. A. McCAULEY, President
Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa.
ORCHARD TERRACE, YONKERS, N. Y., October 25, 1884.
" Messrs. D. APPLETON & Co. : It gives me pleasure to testify to the value of
Dreyspring's * Cumulative Method.' So far as it could be tested in a few weeks'
use, it has given satisfaction." — Yours respectfully, K. T. HOLBROOK, Principal
ScJioolfor Young Ladies and Children.
" We like the German book (Dreyspring) very much, and shall stick to them." —
A. B. POLAND, Superintendent, Ilion, N. Y.
CONCORD, MICH., May 1, 1884.
" The announced plan of your ' Cumulative Method ' strikes me very favorably,
and if the omission of the usual English exercises to be construed into German is
compensated by equivalent exercises in German construction, I predict that the
work will supersede all the kindred text-books with which I am acquainted." — A. M.
SHOTWKLL.
FIFTH AVENUE SCHOOL, 20 W. FIFTY-NINTH STREET, October 28, 1884.
"... We have been using the * Cumulative Method ' in our school in classes
aggregating thirty-five boys who have made signal progress. . . ." — GIBBENS &

"... The ' Cumulative Method for Learning German ' is so natural in develop-
ment as to render the acquisition of the language both easy and rapid." — WILSON

" I have a class of young ladies, and one of little girls, using Professor Drey-
spring's ' Cumulative Method for Learning German.' The method, as applied to
either ages, is an undoubted gain in language-training. I cheerfully add my appro-
bation to his testimonials."— G. R. KIEBSTED.

"Its plan and the suggestions of the author, if adhered to, are calculated to
lead to a most thorough and practical knowledge of the German language. The
method is very appropriately named the Cumulative.' I may in the future find oc-
casion to use it with my classes, and would never hesitate to recommend the book to
all who would not teach mainly the science of the language, but its practical appli-
cation in the written and spoken word and sentence, and who at the same time
would not follow the strictly natural method of first teaching the expression of
thought as a whole, and later proceeding to analyze it and study the underlying
principles." — H. J. BAUKR.
LITTLI ROCK, ARK., December 8, 1884.
" Messrs. D. APPLETON & Co. : ... The further I looked through the pages of
the ' Cumulative Method,' the better I was pleased with it. I shall use it in my
school, as I consider it the best book that I have ever met for teaching the German
language. Say for me to the author, ' He who issues so excellent a text-book is a
benefactor of school-teachers.' " — CHRISTIE SKINNER.

EASY LESSONS IN GERMAN
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CUMULATIVE METHOD,
These lessons overcome the grammatical difficulties by analogy from copious
examples given. To facilitate what the French call " 1'acte de connaissance," they
engage the organ of sight by means of pictures, representing words in their treble
aspect of things, action and quality, and the organ of hearing by means of dia-
logues.
This book has been specially prepared :
1. For those who have a constitutional aversion for all full grown text-books.
2. For those to whom price is of paramount consideration.
8. Last, but not least, for the children, the little boys and girls of the primary
classes, with whom, considering means to ends, a bulky book would be better
adapted to fill schoolstraps and satchels than little heads.
DREYSPRING'S
CUMULATIVE METHOD
For Learning German.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"The method elucidated in this treatise deserves attention, by reason of its
clearness and simplicity. The author's idea is to pass over tedious processes of rea-
soning, to treat the learner as if he were a child, and to take the shortest road by
teaching him to depend upon his ear." — Boston Journal.
" It is very thorough and complete, and will be found useful as a text-book or as
a manual for any one who desires to acquire a fair knowledge of the language by
self -instruction." — Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
" Based upon the same general principles as Sauveur's, which have so revolu-
tionized the mode of teaching the modern languages." — Chicago Advance.
" It proceeds on the well-known truth that a comparatively small number of
words suffice for ordinary conversation and use, and aims to enable the student to
acquire a thorough familiarity with about seven hundred words by constant repeti-
tion."— Milwaukee Sunday Sentinel.
" It is admitted that a better method, a shorter route for acquiring a foreign lan-
guage, is needed. The method Professor Dreyspring offers is the result of long ex-
perience and careful observation, and will meet that want in the most practical and
expeditious way. . . . The objects of the system are twofold, economy of time and
application, and last, to furnish every teacher and student of German an easy guide
that may be mutually profitable and pleasurable." — New York School Journal,
" By a constant recurrence of the units of this word-inventory, they are pre-
sented to the student in frequent and ever-changing groupings and associations,
bringing out fully both their individual and conventional meanings." — Daily Times,
Troy, N. Y.
" Professor Dreyspring is a practical teacher, and this book is the fruit of long
experience. . . . The knowledge of German in a country so much given to European
travel is a growing necessity, and every help to its attainment will be gladly wel-
comed, and we believe the Cumulative Method will, by its merits, win its way to
success." — The Churchman.
"New ideas well worked out. First the sound connection between the articles,
their respective pronouns and terminations are brought out, showing how the differ-
ent genders go together by virtue of a similar tone. This alone is an excellent ad-
dition to the usual methods of teaching German, when the intricacies of * die,' * der,'
1 das,' ' dem,' and their combinations, have appalled many beginners. The idea is
well brought out and will prove popular. . . . The book will doubtless prove an aid
to the teacher of the language." — Providence (K. I.) Evening Times.
" More practical directions for learning a language beset with many difficulties
were never given. It is a well-known fact that most people in ordinary conversa-
tion do not use more than six or seven hundred words. Professor Dreyspring, rec-
ognizing this fact, has taken a vocabulary of this size and combined the words in
every possible way, and unfolded the grammatical features of the German language
BO gradually and so clearly that the dullest student need not fail to understand
them." — Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
" The Method is in great favor at the present time for learning all the modern
languages, and the success which attends it shows that a foreign tongue can be ac-
quired so as to give, at least, speaking facility without a knowledge of grammar." —
Utica Morning Herald.
" This is certainly the shortest and surest method of learning the use of a lan-
guage."— Presbyterian, Philadelphia, Pa.
" The Cumulative Method has both new and good features to recommend it for
acquiring a speaking knowledge of German." — Buffalo Daily Courier.
" The plan of the work is a sound one and well developed. The book is well
adapted to home use, and will prove serviceable in acquiring a knowledge of the
German language." — Boston Courier.
" We have employed nearly all the leading methods in teaching German, from
Ollendorff 's down, particularly Woodbury's, Ahn's, and Otto's methods. Professor
Dreyspring's method meets our idea in simplifying matters — in commencing with
nouns and not with verbs, with facts and not with philosophy. He seeks to make
his pupils children again and endeavors to teach a strange tongue after the fashion
whereby we obtained our native language. We admire the simplicity and directness
of the method, and would gladly give the system a fair trial were we teaching." —
Philadelphia National Baptist.
" In the hands of an intelligent teacher the manual will be found finely adapted
to its purpose, reducing to a minimum most of the difficulties and insuring the rapid
progress of every attentive learner." — Brooklyn Union.
" It is the method of repetition. To one who had learned something of the lan-
guage but had not become proficient, the method would be a good one." — Philadel-
phia Times.
" Hardly a year passes without some new system of learning French and German
being put forth. A knowledge of the two languages has now become so essential,
not alone to business and professional men, but to the educated and refined, that
there is a constant demand for the easiest and swiftest method of instruction. To
meet this many systems have been devised, and the present one in particular is at
least the most ingenious of those recently published." — New York World.
" The Cumulative Method for learning German is based directly on the one true
principle, that the acquisition of a language does not consist in information about
grammatical rules and structure, but in training the tongue, ear, and eye to actual
use and expression. The method is good for all learners, even for those unphilo-
eophical intelligences which are indifferent to our author's * vocal cues' and 'key-
notes.' " — Home Journal, N. Y.
" A comparatively small stock of words is put in use, but by their constant re-
currence the student becomes perfectly familiar with them and acquires a vocabu-
lary sufficient for all ordinary occasions." — Pittsburg Telegraph.
" The aim is to teach the student German by the same kind of process as that
by which a native learns it, and so to drill him that he shall know when a phrase is
formed aright, not by having to go through the painful process of a grammatical
analysis, but simply because it * sounds right.' The method is, then, generally oral
and conversational." — Popular Science Monthly.
" Reveals many advantages not found in other systems. This is certainly a very
valuable addition to the facilities offered to make the acquirement of German com-
paratively easy." — Indianapolis Journal.
" It seems to be one among the few really sensible methods of imparting a knowl-
edge of a foreign tongue. . . . One who has digested this little work can make him-
self readily understood in any German society, and is ready, with any German-
English dictionary at hand, to read, with but little study, almost anything in average
German literature." — Chicago Times.
" Mr. Dreyspring tries to overcome the difficulties of German by practical appli-
ances."— Boston Daily Advertiser.
"The volume seems exceedingly well adapted to its use, and diligently and
skillfully employed ought to prove an admirable text-book." — Boston Congregation-
alist.
" The study of German has so largely increased of late years, for many consid-
erations that did not formerly exist, that a book like this has been needed to render
its study easier, and by a shorter method than usually pursued in our schools and
individual instruction. . . ^ This method economizes time, and gives an easy guide
to aid the student. It ought to find public favor upon its merits, and deserves a
wide circulation." — Methodist, Philadelphia, Pa.
" On the principle that short cuts to the learning of a language are always eagerly
sought by a large class of people, we specially commend the Cumulative Method in
German. . . . Will work a reform in the old tedious method which led to such
tardy results." — Kansas City Daily Journal.
" The author makes the ear a useful auxiliary in distinguishing and determining
the verbal modifications which the gender of German has hitherto made so tedious
and difficult, by availing himself of certain vocal cues to which the subject-noun, in
each case, furnishes the key-note." — Detroit Free Press.
" It is generally admitted that a shorter route to the goal is needed for acquiring
the foreign languages. . . . We heartily commend this method to teachers and
students of German." — Boston Journal of Education.
" This looks like a bold innovation, but there is a great deal to be said in its
favor, and Mr. Dreyspring makes out a good case." — North American, Philadelphia,
Pa.
"The plan is natural, rather than analytical or grammatical." — Good Literature.
New York.
" The student is quickly introduced to a vocabulary of seven hundred of the
most useful words." — Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
" The stock of words presented is ample for the practical wants of every-day life
and conversation, and when, by constant and varying repetitions, these words are
fully mastered, the student will have a thorough knowledge of the frame-work of the
German language, gained in a pleasant and comparatively easy way." — Worcester
(Mass.) Daily Spy.
" Teachers of the German language will find it to their advantage to examine
this new system." — Chicago Tribune.
" This book comes before the public indorsed by many prominent critics. . . .
It seems destined to take precedence of all other methods. . . . We heartily com-
mend this book to all who are interested in the study of German." — Valley Vir-
ginian, Staunton, Va.
" There may not be any royal road to learning ; every one who wishes to master
a science or acquire a language must climb by himself to the top of the mountain,
but it is true that a good method of instruction may save him from climbing step by
step backward, as used to be the case. . . . Instead of making absurd and idle
Ollendorfian combinations of ideas, the familiar ideas of common life are expressed
and repeated until they become second nature. ... It is an excellent method." —
Philadelphia Press.
"Professor Dreyspring has devised what is unquestionably one of the best
methods for attaining a practical knowledge of German in a brief time, that has yet
been offered to the public." — Boston Evening Transcript.
" This book proceeds on the general principle that has lately become so popular
with modern languages that is beginning to be applied to the ancient languages as
well — namely, of making the first teaching strictly oral and conversational." — The
School Bulletin.
" The originator of this language system seems to have proceeded on the right
theory, the nature theory — that is, the pupil must be considered as a child. All the
indications, which can be derived from what is necessarily an imperfect examination,
show that the plan is admirably carried out to the end." — Eclectic.
" We are very favorably impressed with our examination of this German Method.
In many particulars it resembles the famous ' Natural Method,' but would not, we
imagine, require the peculiar gifts in the teacher that the strict application of that
method does. It also appears to be better adapted to teaching grammar than is
that method. We strongly recommend an examination of the book to teachers of
German who want something better than the old methods and yet do not feel it pos-
sible to use the 'Natural Method.' "—Iowa Normal Monthly, October, 1883.
" Another * German Method ' ! Has it a reason to be ? As far as we can judge
by examination without actual use, we are ready to say that the author's plan seems
an admirable one — one that combines happily the theoretical and the practical. He
holds that it is folly to begin with disheartening rules of syntax before the ear has
seized tone, rhythm, and articulation. Yet he seems to have escaped the error of
the now popular ' Natural Method ' which gives too little grammar, often none at
all. The teacher who realizes that a living tongue should not be taught as a dead
language, and yet desires thoroughness, will, we believe, find in the 4 Cumulative
Method' a desirable text-book." — The Living Church, Chicago.
" Methods of linguistic instruction are commonly distinguished as being analyti-
cal or synthetical. This distinction is not quite correct, inasmuch as no system can
be either wholly the one or the other ; the methods are only rightly so named as in-
dicating that the one or the other principle prevails. We do not intend to discuss
these distinctions further than to state that languages are and have been taught in
our schools mainly by the analytic method. Herr Dreyspring's idea seems to be
this : The boy who has analyzed the grammatical forms and syntax of ' wessen Tisch
1st das ? ' who can repeat these words whenever he wishes to express the thought
contained therein, and who so understands the grammatical principles involved as
to express a similar thought with other words, knows German (in so far as he has
learned the language) as perfectly as Goethe or Schiller. Anything short of this,
the author believes, is not to know, it is only to know about. As a matter of fact,
the stage of progress most commonly attained is to be able to translate such a pas-
sage into English at sight, and probably to parse correctly the individual words.
Very few can repeat the words in case of need, and marvelously few can express
another thought similarly with other words. Such a knowledge is not permanent,
is of little use as mental discipline, gives no pleasure to the possessor, and finally
disappears with astonishing celerity.
" To compass the whole German language, as indicated in the example given
above, in analysis, syntax, pronunciation, and original effort on the part of the pu-
pil, has been the object of the author of the ' Cumulative Method.' He has ana-
lyzed the vocabulary of the story of 'Schonkind,' taken its 3.r>0 nouns, 125 adjec-
tives, and 200 verbs, with minor words, and, with these as a basis, has built up the
whole German grammar in concrete form.
" We recommend the work to teachers of languages. If not prepared to adopt
such a system in its entirety, they would assuredly derive benefit from familiarity
with its principles, which may, with equal advantage, be applied to the teaching of
any language." — Canada Educational Monthly, 1884.
