Excerpt from Maria Stuart: Ein Trauerspiel A German Grammar, and a Reader, with a Voeabulary on a somewhat new plan, was prepared, a few years ago, by the editor of the present series, in the hope of contribut ing something toward the advancement of German studies in this country. In reply to numerous and repeated soli citations, a compendious dictionary, on the plan of the Voeabulary to the Reader, has also recently been prepared. It has seemed desirable to add a series of texts for class use, with brief but eareful annotation and explanation. For this purpose, texts have been selected which are already approved 'by long and frequent use. The notes and intro ductions to the several works are by different scholars, in various parts of the country; but all under the guidance and revision of the general editor.
