Schiller's Ballads

PREFATORY NOTE

T^HIS little volume is only introductory. The se-
lections include some of Schiller's most charac-
teristic and famous poems, but the editor had no
thought of showing the poet's development or his
progress in his art. Of his earlier poems, which only
his name rescues from merited oblivion, no example
has been given, and of the so-called second period
only two, 3ln btc gfreube and ®ie ©otter ©rtedjenfonbS.
The ballads are the only class well represented, but
enough of the others have been selected to show their
character. A brief introductory note gives the external
facts regarding each poem, and the footnotes aim to
explain whatever is necessary for the understanding of
the text, but nothing more. ViehofFs chronology has
been followed in the arrangement of the poems. The
vocabulary is intended to be complete, including
proper names as well as words occurring only in the
notes or questions. The questions are included to
furnish a basis for teachers who prefer to conduct the
recitation entirely in German. No outline of the poet's
life or critical essay on his poems as a whole has been
attempted. So much excellent work on the subject

is so easily available that this seemed quite unneces-
sary. It remains, therefore, only to thank those who
have aided me in the preparation of the work, and
here the relation has been chiefly that of teacher and
student. The separate introductions, as well as a
large part of the vocabulary, were compiled under
my direction either as class-room or special work.
The same is true of a portion of the notes, but all
this material has been carefully revised, so that my
chief obligation remains one of interested sympathy
in the work. To my colleague and associate Prof.
B. A. Eisenlohr are wholly due the questions on the
poems and the revision of the vocabulary to contain
words used only in them. Finally, to the American
Book Company, at whose suggestion the book was
begun, and whose patience and courtesy more than
once served to urge on a task that was long delayed,
my special acknowledgments are also due.

Un Me £reube

Written in October or November 1785, and first published
in 1786.

The poem belongs to Schiller's second period, and, though
showing extravagant enthusiasm and uncontrolled emotion, is
less bombastic and exaggerated than his earlier efforts. The
subject is characteristic of the 18th century cult of abstract
ideals, and reflects the enthusiasm that Körner's friendship
aroused. As a hymn sung at a social gathering it celebrates
the love of humanity and universal brotherhood. The first two
stanzas tell the subject and the members of the company; the
next two present joy as the law of the animate and inanimate
world, the third pair refer to the moral world, while the last
two pledge a sacred vow to the Good Spirit The chorus strikes
the keynote of the Divine Fatherhood; then from the Unknown
it develops this conception as the Creator, who guides and re-
wards and judges justly, up to the Good Spirit to whom the
vow is pledged. In later years Schiller severely censured this
poem, but it had appealed to the German public and has always
remained a popular favorite among his lyrics. Beethoven's Ninth
Symphony was partly inspired by it

Hie Götter Griecftenlanfe»

Written in the spring of 1788, and published in Wieland's
Xeutföer hierfür, this poem was recast in its present and shorter
form in 1800.

The poem expresses Schiller's enthusiastic admiration of Greek
life and the poetic conceptions embodied in Greek mythology.
The original version provoked harsh criticism as an attack upon
Christianity, but that was not the poet's intention, and in the
revised form the passages upon which this criticism was based
were changed or omitted. The poem is in form an elegy la-
menting the loss of a poetic conception of nature, and is not to
be interpreted as an attack upon Christian monotheism.

Written in August 1795, and first published in $te JQoren.

The source of the poem is not definitely known. Various
writers have described the temple at Sals, which contained a
casket that only certain priests might open or even touch.
Should anyone else have the temerity to do so it was said that
he would be deprived of his reason» and Pausanius tells of a
certain youth whom this fate befell. The same legend is treated
by Novalis in his unfinished romance ®te Stärlinge JU SaiS.
For the casket Schiller substitutes the veiled image, and the
central thought of the poem, as summed up in the last stanza,
is that the search for truth demands due restraint, for it is not
to be grasped by the hand of rash impatience, but is disclosed
only to the reverent seeker.

Würbe bev grauen

Written in August 1795, and first published in the Stufen*
fllmanaä) in 1796.

The poem presents in a series of stanzas in contrasting meter
the opposite natures of man and woman. The poet has happily
chosen for the praise of woman's activity the dactylic measure,

13* 3fi3 : see vocab.

22 Seiltet

thus lending to the verse a certain gentleness and calm, while
the trochaic measure suits the restless and strenuous work of
man. The peculiar effectiveness of this choice is easily evident
when the poem is read aloud.

By some Schiller's happy married life is regarded as the
inspiration of this poem, though all personal reference is avoided.
The idea of the poem is found in a letter to Lotte, Nov. 17.
1788, in which the poet says : "It seems to me that woman is
created to imitate the dear joy-giving sun in the mortal world,
and to make happy her own and our lives with gentle sunshine.
We arouse the storm, the rain, the snow and the wind, and
they are to scatter the clouds which we have driven together
upon God's earth, to melt the snow, and to make the world
young again with their radiance." •

Der Spaziergang

Written in September, 1795, and first published in $)te $Oten
of the same year with the title Plegie.

The progress of civilization is a theme that especially appealed
to Schiller, an£ he treats it in several different poems. Here
a walk from Stuttgart to Hohenheim and the various objects
in the landscape gave the first idea of the poem. It falls into
three main divisions. The first depicts undisturbed nature and
the simple charms of the rural scene. The second part presents
the development of civilization and the consequent social cor-
ruption, while the third shows how man finally frees himself
from insincerity and conventionality, to seek his true well-being
in a return to nature.

Schiller was especially fond of this poem. Its changing pict-
ures present human activity in its varied manifestations ; theme
and form are well suited to each other, and its dignity and
unity of purpose make it a work that well rewards the effort
needed to understand and to appreciate it.

II. 1. 9, p. 27, to 1. 6, p. 35, picture civilization and its effects.
The poet first describes rural life and agriculture, 1. 9, p. 27, to
1. 2, p. 29 ; he then notes the proximity of the town and its ac-
companying artifical conditions, 1. 3, p. 29, to 1. 12, p. 29, and
so passes to the consideration of town life. The general con-
ditions of corporate activity are noted, 1. 13, p. 29, to 1. 6, p. 30,
and under mythological figures the life of the city is described,
1. 7» P* 3°» to L *4» P« 3°« The influence of the town extends,
justice is administered, patriotism is developed by war against
foreign foes and peace is established, 1. 15, p. 30, to 1. 8, p. 31.
Then the poet reviews industrial development and the growth
of commerce, 1. 9, p. 31, to 1. 8, p. 32, upon which progress in
art, science and intellectual culture follow, 1. 9, p. 32, to 1. 10,
p. 33. Finally he considers the fatal consequences of confusing
liberty of reason and license, or liberty of desire, which results
in social degeneration and ends in revolution, 1. 11, p. 33, to
1. 6, p. 35.

11. 3ene ßittien: strips of grass between fields; they mark
boundaries, and thus take the place of fences in America.

Written in August, 1796, and first published in the SJhtfett«

This little lyric is familiar and dear to the heart of the Ger-
man nation. Its beautiful simplicity of language and its musical
cadence make it quite equal to much of Goethe's best work,
while the riddle of its meaning gives an added charm of its
own. Various interpretations have been suggested, but it is
usually considered that the SRttbdpn auS ber jjfrembe allegorically
presents the spirit of poesy that wanders through this work-a-day
world, bestowing here her blossoms, there the matured fruit of
her high ideals. With each new year, each awakening of the
soul, her potent influence is felt, and though all share her gifts,
the best are reserved for the lovers, for love is itself poesy.

Written in June 1796, and first published in the SRufett«
Slltnanadj in 1797.

The poem is an allegory, representing the flowers, which
share the life of the upper and the lower world, as a common
bond between the two, and thus as a symbol or assurance of
the immortality of the dead. The recent death of the poet's
youngest sister is mentioned by Viehoff as the occasion that

benbeS $aar might mean not so much loving each other as some
one else. 11. ber ©oben befte: poetic for bte befien ©aben, or
bie befte turn alien ©aben. The same usage is repeated in the
next verse.

turned his fancy in this direction. The story is an adaptation of
the Greek myth of Demeter (Latin Ceres), and Persephone.
According to this myth Persephone was lured away from the
nymphs, her playmates, and seized by Pluto, the god of the
lower world, who bore her in his chariot down to Orcus. Her
sorrowing mother sought her the world over till at last her
hiding place was betrayed by the nymph Arethusa. Then, in
response to her entreaties Zeus finally promised that Persephone
should spend part of each year with her mother in Olympus,
but the rest of the time with her husband in Hades. The
allegory is Schiller's.

was splendidly realized at the Falls of the Rhine at Schaff-
hausen. Schiller, who had never seen anything more nearly
approaching a whirlpool than possibly at a mill, replied that
he felt that his accurate description was due to his close study
of Homer's account of Charybdis. This shows not only his ap-
preciative study of the classics but his remarkably true feeling
for nature.

Der ^anftfcfjuft

draWwig

Written in June, 1797, and first published in the 9Jhlfett*
Klmanuft in 1798.

The story is based on an anecdote in St. Foix's Essay on
Paris. One day, as Francis L was watching a fight between
some lions, a lady let her glove fall into the arena. Turning
to Delorges she said, " If you wish me to believe that you love
me as you swear each day, fetch me my glove." Delorges
climbed down and snatched the glove from among the beasts,
but flung it in the lady's face and never wished to see her
again. In a letter to Goethe Schiller called this poem a ®egeit=
ftii(f 3U1lt Sauget, but in his reply Goethe alluded to it as a
9ta($* Uttb ©egenitücf. Both poems present the hero as strug-
gling, for the sake of ambition and love, with natural forces ; the
other characters and elements and the final outcome are in strong
contrast.

The poet handles his meter skillfully and effectively. The
rapid movement of the short lines, the rhythm, alliteration and
imitative words, the choice of diction, sentence structure and use
of the metrical pause, all contribute to portray vividly the con-
tent and action of the story.

6. The short verse is specially effective. The iambic-anapestic
meter of the poem is suited to the lively description, but Viehoff
aptly calls the final verse a change to the minor key.

«Der King ^e* polyltatc*

©allabe

Written in June 1797, and first published in the Sfttlfeit'
Sdmanadj in 1798.

The source is a story told by Herodotus about Polycrates,
the ruler of Samos, who had formed an aUiance with Amasis,
King of Egypt. He was successful in everything he undertook,
until at last Amasis became alarmed at his friend's exceptional
good fortune, for he believed the gods were only leading him
on to overwhelming destruction. He therefore advised him to
sacrifice his dearest treasure in order to propitiate the jealousy
of the gods. Polycrates chose a very valuable ring and cast it

2. 8toittß*t : here = arena.

58 ©filler

into the sea. Shortly afterwards, a fisherman brought a large
fish to the palace, as a tribute to the king. When the fish was
cut open the ring was found inside. The king reported this
strange incident to Amasis, and the latter, fearing that he would
also be overwhelmed by the calamity which he believed was
threatening his friend, broke off the alliance. Later, so the
account continues, Polycrates was taken prisoner by the Persians
and crucified.

Written in July 1797, and first published in the <Dhtfeit«

The immediate source of the poem is not definitely known.
One of the folk songs, noted by Goethe in Alsace in 1771,
2)a8 Sieb öom jungen (trafen, of which some twenty variants
occur, presents many of the same motives and Goethe may well
have called Schiller's attention to it In tone it is rather a
lyric idyU than a ballad, the even flow of the trochaic verse
giving an impression of peacefulness, suited to the spirit of
renunciation that transforms the knight into a hermit.

11. Supply Utn before nt($t. Amasis believes the gods have
rejected bis propitiatory offering.

Written in August 1797, and first published in the SRttfttt«
Klmotuuft in 1798.

There are various accounts of the incident told in this poem,
and which served as Schiller's immediate source is uncertain.
It appears that Ibycus was a Greek lyric poet, born in Rhegium
in southern Italy. From here he journeyed to Samos, where
he spent the greater part of his life at the court of Polycrates.
It is said that he was murdered by robbers in the wilderness,
and cried out that the cranes just then flocking past him in
their southern flight would be his avengers. When one of the
robbers subsequently saw some cranes flying over the city, he
exclaimed to his comrade, "Look there ! the avengers of Ibycus."
This remark was overheard, the matter was investigated, and
the murderers were brought to justice. Plutarch makes use of
the latter incident as a warning against garrulity, since it was
not the cranes that brought punishment upon the robbers, but
their own garrulous tongues ; had they kept silent, they would
not have been discovered. The moral point that Schiller illus-
trates is well expounded in the proverb "Murder will out."

plains that his thought was not that the murderer's conscience
deeply stirred by the tragedy betrays him, but rather that sur-
prise at the appearance of a flock of cranes reminds him of his
deed and the circumstances, and that his rude nature expresses
itself in the unguarded exclamation. The former thought cer-
tainly suggests itself; possibly the poet " builded better than he
Jcnew."

Written in September, 1797, and first published in the 3Rufeit=
llmanad) in 1798.

The poet's source was one of a collection of French tales
by Retif de la Bretonne, which he follows closely not only in
the main thought but also in the details. Goethe was much
pleased with the poem, and Körner wrote: "It has for me a

6. Bietet . . . bar : the poet does not circumstantially tell how

peculiar charm. The idea of a special divine Providence,
though but lightly indicated, lends to the poem a tone of sin-
cerity which even the most obdurate hardly withstands. One
of the most difficult tasks was the description of the ritual,
where the portrayal of the characteristic features might easily
be exposed to ridicule. And yet you have accomplished, ac-
cording to my judgment, all that one could ask. I have read
the poem aloud several times, in which way I most easily
distinguish discords, and never have I come across a line to
mar the harmony. It will ever remain one of my favorites."

Des ntäfcdjeus Klage

Written probably in September, 1798, and published in the
2Rufen*9Umana$ for 1799.

Substance and setting of this beautiful song were suggested
by English folk-songs translated by Herder in his Stimmen
bcr SBölfer. The introductory lines give a situation admirably
adapted to the theme, and the whole poem, as Goethe said,
"is most charming and expresses perfectly the tone of lament"
The first and second stanzas are introduced as a song for Thekla
in $te $iccolotmni, Act III, sc. 7. Compare the poem Stella,
eine (Seijterftimme. It has been repeatedly set to music.

3er Kampf mit beta Dradjeu

fflomanse

Written in August 1798, and first published in the ÜÄufcn»
9llmana$ in 1799.

The source of the ballad was Vertot's Histoire des cheva-
liers de Vordre de Malte, upon which the poet's unfinished
drama $ie üRaltefer was also based. According to Vertot, the
incident related in the poem took place under the rule of Helion
de Villeneuve, who was Grand Master from 1323 to 1346.
Actuated by the spirit of love, as well as by caution and pru-
dence, he forbade his knights, on pain of being deprived of
the gown of the order, to fight with a certain crocodile or
amphibian monster, which lived in the morasses along the river
bank, and had its den in a cave at the foot of Mt Stephen.
From here the beast pounced upon pilgrims to Mt Stephen, or
upon shepherds, and devoured sheep, horses, and cattle. Many
of the bravest knights of the monastery had secretly undertaken
to slay him, and had lost their lives in the attempt Schiller
follows Vertot's version of the story so closely that it is not
necessary to retell it here. His only variation is at the close,
when Vertot makes the Grand Master, at the intercession of
the knights, forgive the offender and bestow upon him great
honors and distinction.

By beginning in the middle of the story, when the combat
is already ended, Schiller at once transfers the center of inter-
est from spectacular adventure to moral conflict The poem
teaches the submission of the individual will to a higher power,
and that self-denial is a greater virtue than heroic courage.

fuge for Christians oppressed by the Mohammedans. It contained
a hospital, and the monks who served as nurses were called
Hospitallers, of which Spttal is merely an abbreviation. Later
a new chapel dedicated to St. John was added and the monks
were called Johanniter, that is, Knights of St. John. Eventually

Die Sttrgfdjaft

Written August 27-30, 1798, and first published in the SDhtfttt*
fclmanatfc in 1799.

The source of the poem was one of the fables of Hyginus.
Schiller has followed the story very closely, except that he
makes the tyrant assure Moeros, instead of the hostage, that
should he fail to return his friend should die in his place and
he be released from punishment This change places the em-
phasis not upon the trust reposed by one friend in the other,
but upon the loyalty of Moeros. To emphasize this the poet
has also introduced the various obstacles that he had to over-
come while returning. The change that comes over the king
when he is convinced that fidelity is not merely an empty de-
lusion forms a fitting and impressive conclusion.

Da* Cleufif^e fcfk

Written in August and September, 1798, and published with
the title SBttrgerlteb in the 2Rufen*9ttmanad& in 1799.

This poem, like ®er Spaziergang and $)aS Sieb Don bet
(Silodtf deals with the development of human society. Ancient
legends correctly represent the tilling of the soil and the plant-
ing of seed as the beginning of civilization, and the Greeks
celebrated one of their most important national festivals in honor
of Demeter or Ceres, as the goddess of the grain and the
founder of civil society. This festival was held at Eleusis and
hence the title of the poem.

VIVOS VOCO. MORTUOS PLANOO. FULGU&A FKANGO.

Written between 1797 and 1799, and first published in the
2ttufen*%lmanad) in 1800.

For a long time the poet had had in mind the general theme
of this poem, of which he often spoke, and during his visit to
Rudolstadt in the spring of 1788, he had frequently visited the
bell-foundry there« The first definite mention of the poem is,

1 ff. Instinct rules the brute, natural law the gods; between
them man is governed by the laws of social intercourse, by
ethical principles, upon which genuine freedom rests.

n6 ©filler

however, in a letter to Goethe, July 7, 1797, "* which he
speaks of having begun work on his " bell -founding song," and
adds that he is very deeply interested in it, and that it will
take several weeks to complete the poem, since it requires so
many different moods.

The poem presents a series of beautiful pictures illustrating
the development of the individual. By the various steps in the
casting of the bell, the analogies of human life are suggested,
while the strong central figure of the Master bell-founder gives
the whole an artistic unity. The poem is a sort of dramatic
monologue. It is the most magnificent as well as the most
popular of Schiller's lyrics, and well expresses the spirit and
temper of the German nation.

The poem originally bore the title SBoIttttreS $ucefle tttlb bie
Suitßfrau üon Orleans, and the first stanza is directed against
Voltaire's travesty of the career of Joan of Arc. His calumny,
for such Schiller rightly regarded it, had been so fully accepted
in the literary world that the poet, when writing his drama,
refused to make known his subject lest it should appear ridicu-
lous. It is therefore true that her memory was as well served
in the literary world by Schiller in his drama as it was in the
theological world by Pope Calixtus II., who revoked her ex-
communication.

Thekla was the daughter of the hero in Schiller's drama
SBaftenßeitt. At the close of the tragedy, in grief and despair
at the death of her lover, Max Piccolomini, she intimates suicide,
but still the reader is left in doubt as to her fate. The poet
evidently intended to answer the doubt in this poem, for the
opening lines express the question, the stanza concluding with
the words from Thekla's song in the drama, *§ab' id) nidjt ae*
Uebct uttb gelebei?" QHccolomini, Act III, sc. 7.) As a voice
from the spirit world, she sings of life and love in a land that
knows no parting. The naive expression of the verities of the
eternal world lend to the poem a peculiar charm.

On September 9, 1802, Schiller sent this and another poem
to Körner, who replied, "The second poem (%tyUa) is especially
attractive, the tone is splendidly sustained, and depth of emo-
tion is united with the greatest simplicity. Here you have
surrendered yourself entirely to fantasy and have been re-
warded." .

Written in 1803, originaUy for Goethe's WlitiXDO$%tt&ni$ttL
There runs through the poem a threefold parallel, the four
elements of the material world, of human life, and of punch.
Such is the theme of the poem, but the analogies presented
are decidedly defective and indefinite. This is, however, of
little consequence, for the genial spirit and the music of the
verse are the charm of the song.

Der Graf von $*b*but$

ftattabe

Written in April, 1803, and first published in So* Xafdjett*
bu^ für tarnen in 1804.

Schiller cites as the source of his poem the Chronicum Hel-
veticum of the Swiss historian Tschudi, and makes the follow-
ing annotation: "Tschudi, who gives us this anecdote, says
also that the priest who had this little encounter with the Count
of Habsburg later became chaplain to the Elector of Mainz,
and in the election which followed the Great Interregnum did
much to direct the Elector's thought toward the Count" The
original seat of the Habsburgs was in northern Switzerland,
where vestiges of their original castle are still to be seen.

As in all of Schiller's ballads, except %tx gonbftuft, an
underlying ethical idea is easily discernible. Here it is pious
humility rewarded with good fortune in this world. In treat-
ment, the ballad is strongly dramatic. The scene, the actors
and their parts are all presented, thus affording a fine example
of Schiller's natural bent toward dramatic form.

lowed his sources. 7. SBetttS : a partitive genitive with fdfcnfte.

Published in $)Q§ Xtffynbuä) für $amett in 1805, but written
in January, 1804.

This beautiful description of the Swiss mountains is a proof
of Schiller's wonderful power of imagination; he depicts so
vividly a scene he had never visited that the reader catches
the spirit of the place. Goethe wrote him, saying, "Your
poem is a really charming climb upon the Gotthard, into which

can be read all sorts of meanings." The allegorical significance
of the poem which is suggested is attractive, but it is doubt-
ful whether the poet had any didactic purpose. His thought
appears to have grown out of his study of the Tell theme.

masses of granite that appear to block the way. 5. ßöttritt =

by the poet suggests also danger, as from a sleeping lioness.

just below a fall. Popular tradition said it was built by the

to two peaks that rise above the Hospice of St. Gotthard. Their
summits are not, as the poet implies, inaccessible. 15. bie ftftni*

covered peak of which Schiller found a description in Mailer's

Der Alpenjäger

Written sometime previous to July 5, 1804, and first published
in $a£ Xafdjettbudj für domett. Probably undertaken while
the poet was working on the Tell theme.

This charming and simple little song doubtless has as its
basis a popular legend of an old couple who had a disobedient
son. Instead of tending the herds, the youth wished to chase
the mountain goats. One day he lost his way in the ice and
snow of some high peak. He was in despair of his life, when
suddenly the mountain spirit appeared to him, saying, "The
goats which you chase are my herds, why do you pursue
them?" The spirit then showed him the path, and the dis-
contented boy returned home and tended the sheep.

VOCABULARY

The Vocabulary is intended to be complete, including proper
names, but a separate entry of adjectives used as adverbs has not
always been made. The separable verbs are marked by an asterisk,
and some doubtful cases are thus given when a separate entry of
adverb and simple verb might have seemed preferable. The
abbreviations require no' explanation. References to the text,
except to a few notes, have not been included, but when necessary
the special meaning or use in an idiom has been added after the
ordinary meaning.

TWO GERMAN READERS

By MENCO STERN

Geschichten vom Rhein «V>«8£

Geschichten yon Deutschen Stidten 1.35

THESE two collections of stories are designed to
arouse and stimulate the pupil's interest, not only
while he is struggling with the difficulties of German
grammar» but even after he has successfully completed the
study. They make him acquainted with the German
people, and describe faithfully the various sections of the
German Empire.

•J These volumes, each containing nearly one hstnetad
stories, furnish interesting reading-matter, and include,
besides, valuable suggestive material for exercises in con-
versation and composition. While each chapter is com-
plete in itself, yet, taken together, they form a complete
whole, and afford a good general acquaintance with the
scenes in which they are laid. In Geachtete» «von
Deutschen Städten, the stories commence with the cities
on the coast of the North Sea, and progress through the
leading towns of the German Empire. In Geschichten
vom Rhein, the reader starts from the source of the Rhine,
and follows it throughout its course. These sketches all
portray the romance of Germany — its scenery, cities,
castles, and homes, interweaving with the descriptions the
legends and folk-lore of the people. They do not, how-
ever, consist of fiction only, but furnish also many facts of
historical, geographical, and literary importance. The
carefully compiled vocabularies furnish ample aid. The
maps help show the significance of the tales.

A BRIEF GERMAN COURSE

$1.20

By C. F. KAYSER, Ph.D., Professor of German,
Normal College of the City of New York, and
FREDERICK MONTESER, Ph.D., First Assist-
ant in German, DeWitt Clinton High School, New
York

MANY valuable features differentiate the Brief Ger-
man Course from the conventional beginners' book
m German. Each lesson contains one or more
topics of grammar, a special vocabulary, and exercises in
reading and writing German, with such suggestions and
helps for the student as are needed. The arrangement of
the subject-matter has been determined by pedagogic con-
siderations and practical experience. The recommenda-
tions of the Modern Language Association have been
followed.

^f To secure to the pupil variety and interest in his work,
and to facilitate their mastery, the difficulties of declension
and conjugation are introduced gradually. Elementary
syntax is treated from the beginning in immediate connec-
tion with the study of forms. The transition from dis-
connected sentences to connected reading is made simple
by the use of real idiomatic German sentences.
^J Frequent review lessons arc given, containing gram-
matical questions, interesting reading matter, both prose
and verse, and exercises in conversation. The reading
matter is written in an easy, fluent style, and illustrates
German life, history, geography, and literature. The
book includes complete German-English and English-Ger-
man vocabularies, an appendix of collected paradigms of
declensions and conjugations, and an index.

A BRIEF FRENCH
COURSE

By ANTOINE MUZZARELLI, Officio- d' Academic
Professor of Modern Languages and Literature

THE Brief French Course is intended for all students
who can give but one year to the study of French,
as required by the leading colleges and universities,
and also fully meets the demands of college instructors for
a brief but comprehensive manual. The work combines
clearness and simplicity with completeness and thorough-
ness. Good judgment has been exercised in selecting for
treatment only the most essential rules of syntax and the
most important principles of grammar. The essential
rules of French and English syntax are contrasted in such
a way as to bring out most clearly the great differences in
the two languages.

^f The exercises in reading and writing French are bright
and breezy, and embody French as it is used to-day.
They furnish abundant practice on the topics discussed,
and give the student an intelligent understanding of the
difficulties of syntax. Because of the interesting nature
and great variety of their words and phrases, these exercises
are unusually helpful and instructive. The appendix con-
tains those rules of syntax that have been purposely omitted
from the body of the work. It gives also a complete list of
irregular verbs conjugated in all their tenses, moods, and per-
sons. The book incorporates the new laws of syntax offi-
cially promulgated by the Minister of Public Instruction of the
French Republic and approved by the Academic Franchise.

BOOKS ON FRENCH PROSE
COMPOSITION

By VICTOR E. FRANCOIS, Instructor in French,
College of the City of New York

Introductory French Prote Composition $o.%$

Advanced French Prow Composition 80

THE INTRODUCTORY FRENCH PROSE
COMPOSITION is designed for students with
some knowledge of French grammar — that is, in
the second year in the high school, or the second term in
college, although it may be used satisfactorily earlier in the
course. Part I presents a systematic review of the elements
of French grammar by means of an original narrative, and
Part II contains an adapted story. The progressive ex-
ercises in grammar, transposition, and translation, the
general review, and the vocabulary are all arranged for
interesting and effective work.

% The ADVANCED FRENCH PROSE COMPOSI-
TION is intended for the third and fourth years in high
schools, or for the second year in colleges, and may be
used with any complete grammar. Each exercise in Part
I includes the rules of grammar to be reviewed, a list of
verbs with the required preposition, a portion of French
text, work in transposition, questions to be asked the
student, and an English passage for translation into French.
For Part II the author has chosen an interesting subject,
"A Stranger Visiting Paris," and has based upon it
numerous French and English passages for translation, in
this way imparting much valuable information about that
city.

A PRACTICAL COURSE IN

SPANISH

$1.25

By H. M. MONSANTO, A.M., and LOUIS A.
LANGUELUER, LL.D. Revised by FREEMAN
M. JOSSELYN, Jr., Assistant Professor of Romance
Languages in Boston University

IN the revision of this popular text-book the editor has
recast only such grammatical statements as seemed to
demand it. His special care has been to present
the Spanish text in accordance with the latest rules for
orthography and accent. The lessons contain:

1. EXAMPLES, accompanied by their nearest English
equivalents, and made to illustrate the grammatical and
idiomatic principles which are involved in the lessons.

2. VOCABULARIES placed before the exercises, the
masculine and feminine names being grouped separately,
and other parts of speech arranged alphabetically.

3. SPANISH EXERCISES. The sentences in Span-
ish require only the application of instructions contained in
the lesson, or in the preceding ones, for translation into
English.

4. ENGLISH EXERCISES. The analogous sen-
tences in English are presented in immediate connection
with the preceding ones in Spanish. The principles ap-
plied in the Spanish exercises are thus made an effective
auxiliary in translating Spanish into English.

5. GRAMMATICAL AND IDIOMATIC PRIN-
CIPLES. This division may be employed by means of
the references, either in connection with the preceding
instructions, or as a review.
