Abstract
(1) IN twenty-four pages, Dr. Barker crowds in the essentials of German grammar in tabloid form and as footnotes to selected passages from the Bible. The rest of the book gives general passages from scientific works in German with English translations, and more technical selections re ferring to chemistry, zoology, botany, physics, mathematics and medicine. Unfortunately, only one English rendering is generally given to a German word, although it often has other equally important significations.
