Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prose Specimens for Translation Into German: With Copious Vocabularies and Explanations Tris little volume, designed to serve as a text-book for translation into German, is, at the same time, intended to complete the study of the language. It contains select specimens of prose in various styles, and may be used by the adult student as soon as he has made himself acquainted with the essentials of German grammar and has gone through an appropriate course of exercises on the forms of speech.
