Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Third German Reader and Writer: Being a First Course of Readings and Exercises on German Syntax
Reader and Writer). The passages in both Reader and Writer have been specially composed to exemplify the constructions under consideration in each exercise.' Syntax is thus presented here in a concrete form - ia the shape of living examples of German usage, and English sentences which when. Turned into German will fix the usage on the pupil's mind. All the passages (both German and English) are continuous; isolated sentences are nowhere admitted.
The subject matter of these passages has been drawn from the field of German history, topography and legend; it is thus thoroughly national in character, dealing with Rant 11111) State.
It will be seen that the Complex Sentence is not dealt with systematically in this book; it will form the subject of a Fourth Course. But Complex Sentences presenting no difficulty are by no means excluded the main rules for Subordinate Clauses have already been practised in the Second Reader and W'riter.
The passages in the Writer marked B and C are of a somewhat more difficult character than those marked A, and are intended to provide material for repeating the course, should it be thought de sirable to do so. It is therefore possible to omit these alternative passages on going through the book for the first time, without sacrificing grammatical continuity.
