Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dutch Conversation-Grammar The second book treats of the Parts of Speech. The student must first learn the rules, then do the exercises, and finally try to translate the Reading-lesson at the 0 head of each lesson into English. Exercises to be translated into English are purposely omitted, my only object being to teach Dutch; whoever should want to translate into English, should translate all the Reading-lessons. The third book treats of the Use of the Parts of Speech. Especially in this part the student must master the examples well before translating the exercises. The fourth book deals with derivation; this part will prove to be useful to every body, and is indispensable to the student. In the Key, any one, learning without a master, will be able to see whether his translations are right. In order to be able to do this a dictionary will prove an excellent assistant, in spite of the Vocabulary at the end of the work. Though I do not know of any dictionary especially written for Englishmen, yet I can recommend the student an excellent and at the same time cheap dictionary, viz.: Picard's Pocket Dictionary of the english-dutch and dutch-english languages (gouda, G. B. Van Goor Zonen), the seventh edition of which, edited by J. H. Van der Voort, will render inestimable assistance. This seventh edition may justly bear the name of a Conversational Dictionary, as it contains many expressions which I looked for in vain in much larger dictionaries.
