GERMAN EDUCATIONAL WORKS BY FALCK LEBAHN, PH.DR. "We have few professors of the German language among us, just now, equal in industry or the higher qualities of professional skill to Falck Lebahn. The public is largely indebted to him for the fragments of German literature which he sends to the press from time to time, so accompanied with notes, vocabularies, and grammars, more or less copious, as at once to attract, encourage, and help the student onward in this beautiful language.'-EDUCATIONAL TIMES. 'Dr. Lebahn's works have been found of the greatest assistance to the German students who abound in the Army. Those whose education had been neglected before they entered the Service, and who have now but little time or opportunity of going through a course of grammatical instruction, have derived essential advantage from a pursuit of the "royal road" mapped out by Mr. Lebahn.' UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE. 'We very cordially commend Mr. Lebahn's works, taking leave to remark that, if the pupil will be only half as painstaking as his master, talent apart, be will make a very accomplished German scholar.'-CHRISTIAN WITNESS. 'The author's object has been to divest the German language of as many of its difficulties as possible, and he has been eminently successful.'-SUNDAY TIMES.

Although there are many Grammars of the German Language extant in England, and not a few Guides to an easy acquisition of the language, still the German Language is generally thought to be a very difficult one to learn.........My intention in the present work is to render the attainment of the German Language easy to the English student, by simplifying the Rules of Grammar, by presenting to him the similarities of the two languages, and by showing him that he can learn a great deal of German with very little trouble,-not, however, to lay a learn-without-labour system before him.'-Author's Introduction. Opinions of the Press. This is the best German Grammar that has yet been published.' MORNING POST. The exercises are very good, well graduated, and well designed to illustrate the rules. The "4,500 words synonymous in German and English" is a very advantageous feature.'-SPECTATOR. 'Had we to recommence the study of German, of all the German Grammars which we have examined-and they are not a few-we should unhesitatingly say-Falck Lebahn's is the book for us.'-EDUCATIONAL TIMES. 'There is a peculiarity in this grammar which strongly recommends it. Mr. Lebahn's plan is to make the learning of German especially easy to English students, who will very soon feel, under his teaching, that they may learn a great deal of German with little labour.'-GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE. 'Mr. Lebahn's method is clear, simple, and easily followed, everything like intricacy being carefully avoided.'-MORNING CHRONICLE. To those who would attain a practical use of the language, with a moderate expenditure of time and labour, this work will be a welcome help.' ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. The plan of the work is excellent-its material is cleverly classified-and all the difficulties which ordinarily beset the path of the student are either levelled or avoided. We can confidently recommend it.'- UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE. As a pioneer of the conquest of a glorious literature, we consider this volume to be without any competitor.'-SUN. Fourth Edition, price 2s. 6d. strongly bound. A FIRST GERMAN COURSE; CONTAINING THE ELEMENTS OF GRAMMAR, WITH EXERCISES ON EACH RULE, IN GERMAN AND ENGLISH, AND A SELECTION OF ANECDOTES, ACCOMPANIED WITH CONVERSATIONAL EXERCISES AND A COMPLETE VOCABULARY. By FALCK LEBAHN, Ph.Dr. The study of the German language is daily becoming more and more general, and in high-class schools it is, with great propriety, taught young people at a very early age. I have. therefore, thought it advisable to compile an introductory volume suited to this class of learners, and at the same time adapted for those of more mature years, who have not previously gone through the regular routine of grammatical instruction. The present "Course" being designed as a first book, I have aimed at the utmost simplicity and clearness.'-Preface. Opinions of the Press. It is hardly possible to have a simpler or better book for beginners in German.'-ATHENÆUM. 'The plan is admirable, and, having carefully examined it, we confidently recommend "A First German Course," as well to those who wish to teach themselves that language as to those whose task it is to teach it to others.' MORNING CHRONICLE. 'Remarkably simple in plan......The whole work, vocabulary and all, does not occupy more than 140 pages, broad print, and yet we should be much surprised if a person who went carefully through it did not become a tolerable German scholar.'-COURT JOURNAL. To any beginner of German we venture to recommend this volume as the best possible introduction to a further course of study, and especially if speaking the language is the object in view.'-THE ERA. 'This little volume is really what it professes to be-a simple, clear, and concise introduction to the German language.'-CRITIC. 'This treatise will be found as useful to those who are studying by themselves as to those who possess the advantage of a master's instruction. It has the great merits of simplicity and brevity, and is well adapted to smooth the difficulties in the way of a young student of German.'-THE LEADER. 'The book is simple in its arrangement, and promises to be as useful as it is carefully prepared.'-LITERARY GAZETTE. Second Edition, price 3s. 6d. A COURSE OF EXERCISES IN GERMAN, WITH COMPLETE VOCABULARIES, GERMAN-ENGLISH AND ENGLISH-GERMAN. By FALCK LEBAHN, Ph.Dr. A KEY to the ABOVE has been prepared, containing the English of the German and the German of the English Exercises, price 2s. 6d. The chief object of this volume is to furnish the learner with a series of Exercises on the Irregular Verbs. With a view to facilitate the acquisition of these, they are arranged in classes according to the change of the radical vowel. Each class is accompanied by two sets of exercises, one consisting of short colloquial phrases, the other illustrating a more elevated style of composition, and, consequently, better adapted for advanced students. Introductory exercises are given on the declensions of the nouns and adjectives, as also on the pronouns, the regular conjugation, and prepositions; in addition to which various detached pieces are introduced for translation. Opinions of the Press. 'The book is well planned, the selections for translation from German into English, or from English into German, being sometimes curiously well suited to the purpose for which they are taken.'-EXAMINER. 'It is at once a simple and elaborate affair, well calculated to carry a learner through a course of German composition.'-SPECTATOR. 6 The "colloquial phrases" will be found more useful and to the purpose than can be readily imagined, while the exercises "adapted for advanced students" will excite surprise that pieces at once so ingeniously appropriate, and yet so interesting, apart from their purpose in this book, could have been collected by any tutor. It is in these we see reflected Dr. Lebahn's happy knack of impressing on the memory the structure of a sentence by means of a well-told tale, a dry aphorism, a lively sally of wit, or a mighty moral lesson.'-ESSEX FREE PRESS. The present "Course" is principally upon the irregular verbs; and we can only say, that the way to the perfect mastery over their apparent difficulties is here rendered as easy as it can be, or ought to be.'-LITERARY GAZETTE. 'A series of interesting and judiciously-graduated exercises, as instructive to the student as they are worthy of the author, whose name is a sufficient guarantee of the value and utility of the book, no one having so successfully reduced to rule and simplicity the means of acquiring this beautiful language.' SHIPPING GAZETTE. Lebahn's German Educational Works. Fifth Edition, price 3s. 6d. A FIRST GERMAN READING BOOK, CONTAINING DAS TÄUBCHEN; or, THE DOVE: 5 A TALE FOR THE YOUNG BY CH. SCHMID.

'We have before us a beautiful and simple tale, which with sufficient grammar, sufficient vocabulary, and sufficient annotation, to enable the learner to understand it, fills a small light volume, which_will commend itself to all learners, and to the school-class more than any.'-EDUCATIONAL TIMES.
