Materials for German Prose Composition: With Notes and Vocabulary

FIRST EDITION. From the author's Preface: "The present selections for translation into German are intended for students who have read a few hundred pages of easy German prose and have had some training in translating simple sentences into German. At this stage of their advancement, a liberal amount of comparatively easy composition work seems to be a better means of fixing in their minds the German vocabulary, accidence and syntax, than a lesser amount of more difficult exercises would be."
