Synopsis

Polyglot Reader, And Guide For Translation: Consisting Of A Series Of English Extracts, With Their Translation Into French, German, Spanish, And Italian, The Several Parts Designed To Serve As Mutual Keys. English Text by Jean Roemer. This 1865 work, published by D. Appleton & Company in New York, presents a language-education anthology and translation guide intended for mutual translation practice. Roemer outlines a rational method for acquiring foreign languages, emphasizing imitation and analogy, reading as the foundation, and progressing to listening, speaking, and writing. The volume is organized into four parts: an introductory study of language learning, followed by Part I—Anecdotes, Tales, and Moral Reflections; Part II—History and Romance; and Part III—Drama and Poetry, each supplying English extracts with translations into modern languages to function as mutual keys. The book also discusses translation methods (interlinear translation, double translation), the role of grammar versus practice, and the value of reading and good models for language development. It serves as both a readable collection of extracts and a practical manual for translation-based language study.
