A Middle High German Primer

When I wrote the preface to the first edition of this primer in 1888, I ventured to predict that the interest of English students in the subject would grow and develop as time went on but I hardly expected that it would grow so much that a second edition of the book would be required within so short a period. It has been revised throughout and several changes have been made in the phonology but I have not thought it advisable to alter the general plan and scope of the former edition. After many years of personal experience as a teacher and examiner in the older periods of the German language.
