Wilhelm Tell: Schauspiel

Google

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

publisher to a library and finally to you.

P r e f a

This book is intended for the nse of Englishmen desi-
. rous of acquiring n knowledge of the German language by
an easj and sound method, and ii adapted particalarly to
the nse of those who as yet have not extended tlieir study
beyond the pronunciation of words , the declension of arti-
cles ) conjugation of the regular verbs and the translation
of a few phrases. Schiller's Te 1 1 has been chosen for our
purpose, because that play is written in a simple style,
adapted to every age, and highly moral in its principles.
There is no classic work Ju the whole German literature
that answers in so high a degree the purposes of the Gran^
marian and the monilist.

The method we have adopted is founded on the Hamil-
tonian system, and the intelligent reader will easily liUscover
the motive which has induced us to insist more on rules of
Grammar than is generally done in works of this kind. En-
glishmen are not accustomed, by their own language, to
pay so great an attention to the different cases of declen-
sion required by verbs and prepositions, as it is necessary
to do in German ; and as, al tlie same time, the Declen-
sion of nouns, pronouns and adjectives is one of the gratost
difficulties in the Utter, we have taken particular care,

.(jnGoo^Ic

etpet^ally in tlio first act of the ptay, to give tlte icholar bj
degrees a tlioroiigli knowledge of them.

Experience Iiai proved the sure and rapid sacceM to be
obtained by our method, and after having perused the fol-
lowing pages , every English reader will find himself able to
get through every German book without (liSiculty.

nVTHODVCTIOBr.

The system of Declensions given here is built on many
years' experience and on the authority of the best modern
Grammarians, and will give the reader a facile introduction
to a part of German Grammar which requires the utmost
attention and exercice.

A. DKCLENSION OF SUBSTANTIVES.

There are two Declensions, the latter of whicb
four Classes of eiceptions, or Subdivisions.

UmUut. V

The vowels a, t/ n, an, are often changed in iL,i,&,
&a , in the plural number of substantives. (So, in English,
foot has ia the plural number feet; mouse, mice). These
vowels 3,5,4, flu, are called UmlflUte (changed vowels);
d is the Umlaut of a; d is the Umlaut of o, etc.
General rules of Declension,

1. Feminine nouns ore never changed in the Singular
number 1 so that the Gen,, Dat. and Ace. cases are like the
Nominative.

(Examples. — Decl. 1 : J>ie grou (woman) , bet ^rail,
ber Jrau, bie ^vant, plur. biegrauen, bergrauen, bengiauen,
bie granen. Decl. II: t)it 9uft (air), ber Suft, ber iuft, bit
Swft; plur. bit Hftt, ber ?fifte, ben Sftften, bie SAfte). —

2. Feminine nqnos belong only to the first and second
regular Declensions ; except SWiUtcr, ££o<f)ter, which belong
to Class B.

n,gN..(JNGOO»^IC

3> The Aocntative case of neuter gender it niw»js tike
the Konunative.

4. The Dative plural termmates alwaj' io «t or tt.

6. Compound sabstantEvct are, {witli a few exeeptions],
to be declined, and thtj are generallj of the same gender,
M the latter part of the composition, (Ai for ex.: £rr
Korf, coat, II D., Umlaut; ber JgxinSrorf, idem).

6. No sabsUntJve of Decl. I, CI. C and CI. D, has the
Umlftut,

7. The Unttaut can be given onlj' to the last syU -
lable; or to the penultima, when t n the vowel of the last
(jrllaWe. (tier Bflttr, plor. tie SSatfr).

8. There are a good deal of nouns belonging to a cer-
tain Declension or Subdivision , th»t are as well -declined
according to another Declension or Subdivision, when bearing
other terminations in the Nom. case. So trt Qtiafl/ tassel,
belongs to Decl. II. (beg Sluaftti , plor. bie OuAfle); bie
Quafle belongs to Decl. I. £er %tli, rock, belongs to
Decl. I, ber ^elfen to Class B. ^ai ieii, grief, belongs
to Class C, 'lai itittn to Class B; biT OueO, source,
fountain, belongt to Class C, blf QurOe to Decl. I.

In the ume way we decline the adjectives preceded by ((in,

nouns. In the plural, Mr and the poss. pron. bearing the
strong terminations, the adjectives following have the weak.

General Observntions. — 1, Adjectives, when onployed
as substantives, are to be declined as other adjectives. —
2, Adjectives, when eonstmed with the verbs fein, to be;
DMfiini, to become; erfdjeinen, to appear, and others, are
indeclinable. (For inst. : er ifl g(&d(Ed)). — 3. Adjectives,
when they ore placed after their substantives , without nn
article preceding those adjectives, are indeclinable. (For
inst.! Hi war ein SiaiQ gro^ ttnb mdd|tf f), there was a
kidg great and mighty].

ADVERBS.

Every adjective may be employed as an adverb. The
Adverbs are iudecllnabie in German, as iu every language.

EXPLANATION

of the signs employed in tbe interlineary translation,
1. Those words which, being in tbe German text, are
to be sujtpressed in the English translatioo, are enclosed in
crotchets. Those words which, not being in the German
text, must be inserted in the English translation, in order
to give the true meaning of the phrase, are printed in ita-
lic letters.

i. As often as the litteral version does not explain to
English readers the right meaning of the German phrase,
we have inserted, in a line between the teit and the ver-
sion, a free English Irausktion, prihted in italic letters;
and sometinies we haved added it in particular notes.

3. In tbe compound Germiui vorbi , the two fvks af
llis composition are gettcnilly separated in Uie preient and
pr^'terimpcrfeGt tfinsei' (Tliic occura only in iiuh vorbs tliat
iiave an accent on the former part of tlie competition).
The two parb of thitfe sepurable verbs are marked by
two strokes ttnder tbein> (So for imtnnoc: jc^ flflft unttr,
ftresent of atttTQ^tn).

4. A« it is most etseatiul that tlie Englnk reader
should pay the greatest attention to the different cBSet of
Declension, as well as -to the wordi upon which they depend,
we have carefully eonsidereil that point in the first act of
our play. V/hereever you find a word governing some ge-
nitive, dative or accusative case, It is marked with a
numeral; and ihat word over which you find tbe same
numeral, with the addition of the syllable Gen., Dat., or
Ace., is the word governed by the first.
