Excerpt from German Without Grammar or Dictionary, Vol. 1: Or a Guide to Learning and Teaching the German Language According to the Pestalozzian Method of Teaching by Object Lessons See Dr. Howard Crosby's article in the New York Independent, Nov. 13, 1879.clocks apart would not enable a person to construct a single clock! Au eminent educator has remarked, Our daily speech is moulded by what we have learned in the nursery, and not by what grammarians have taught us. This is the order of nature. So we learned our mother-tongue. It is in this natural and pleasant way that we are to acquire other living languages besides our own. The speaking lessons of this book deal with a wide range of subjects belonging to every-day life. We speak of eating, drinking, sleeping, seeing, hearing, breathing, smelling, etc. As we proceed from one lesson to another, the German sen tence is carefully and progressively elaborated by practical examples. As a weaver would occasionally weave a beautiful figure into his cloth, so the pupil is led by animated conversa tion' to weave into his speech the forcible idioms peculiar to the German language. By continually repeating the same words, phrases, and sen tenoes in an ever-changing variety of forms, the substance of each lesson is gradually and indelibly engraved upon the mem ory of the learner.
