" It is not too much to say, that the publication of 

 Professor Liebig's Organic Chemistrj' of Agriculture con- 

 stitutes an era of great importance in the history of Agri- 

 cultural Science. Its acceptance as a standard is un- 

 avoidable, for follomnfj closely in the straight j)ath of 

 inductive Philosophy, the conclusions ichich are drawn 

 from its data are incontrovertible." — " We can truly 

 say, that we have never risen from the perusal of a hook 

 with a more thorough conviction of the profound know- 

 ledge, extensive reading, and practical research of its 

 author, and of the in\incible power and importance of its 

 reasonings and conclusions, than we have gained from the 

 present volume."' — Silliman's Journal , January 1841. 



' ' Every page contains a mass of information. I would 

 earnestly advise all practical men, and all interested in 

 cultivation, to have recourse to the book itself. The sub- 

 ject is vastly important, and we cannot estimate how 

 much may be added to the produce of our fields by pro- 

 ceeding on correct principles." — Loudon's Gardener's 

 Magazine for March 1841.

 indebted for a very large proportion of those researches 

 which have advanced organic chemistry to its present very 

 flourishing condition.' " — Medical Gazette, March 18,

A GERMAN GRAMMAR. 



By William Wittich, Teacher of German in University 

 College, London. 



FROM THE PREFACE. 



There is no want of German Grammars in English. 

 By far the greater number of them have been wTitten by 

 young men who have come over to England for the pur- 

 pose of gaining their livehhood by teaching their native 

 language ; and to convince the public that they were well 

 prepared for the task they undertook, they published 

 their gi-ammars at the very outset of their career. ^ This 

 certainly, in some respects, is not a bad way of intro- 

 ducing oneself to the notice of the public ; for he who 

 composes a gi-ammar is sometimes, at least, obMged to 

 look at the pecuUarities of the language. But for want of 

 practical experience in teaching, these grammarians did 

 not commonly succeed in explaining these pecidiarities in 

 a way easily to be understood and to be applied. Their 

 books, therefore, are very deficient in some matters of 

 importance. 



My Grammar differs materially from those of my pre- 

 decessors. I wish it to he considered as the work of a 

 man who for a great length of time has ser\-ed the public 

 in his line, and at the close of his senices thinks it proper 

 to give an account of the manner in which he has pei*- 

 formed the task he has engaged in by his own choice. I 

 have been a teacher of the language for thuty years, and, 

 of course, have had frequent opportunities of comparing 

 the two languages— that which 1 taught, and that in which 

 I conveyed my instructions. The most important results 

 of my experience are laid before the public in this 

 Grammar. 



THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 



ByR. G. Latham, A.M., Fellow of King'sCollege, Cam- 

 bridge, Professor of the English Language and Litera- 

 ture, University College, London. 1 vol. 8vo,12*. cloth. 



" It is, in tnith, a most learned and laborious inquiiy 

 into some of the more abstruse points in general Grammar, 

 and in that of the English language in particular, com- 

 mencing with its historical descent and connexions, and 

 including the causes of many of its peculiarities of struc- 

 ture and condition. By theVord Grammar, in ordinary 

 parlance, is understood a collection of rules ; whereas the 

 work before us, so far as it has attained to the character 

 of a weU-ordered design, is a repertory of the reasons 

 which are at the bottom of rules." 



" The book opens with an elaborate display of the 

 oriciines of the English tongue, of the various languages 

 which have contributed their portion to its formation. 

 The second part enters into an investigation of ' sounds, 

 letters, pronunciation, and spelling.' The third treats of 

 Et>-mologj' in its connexion with what are famiharly 

 termed the accidents of the language ; and it contains a 

 vast assemblage of facts, forming the ' scantlings' of a 

 true and luminous theory of their origin and causation. 

 Parts IV. and V. discuss the subjects of S^Titax and 

 VTOi.oCiy. "—Athenceum, Feb. 5, 1842.
