The celebrated philosopher Leibnitz remarked "my opinion with regard to grammar is this, most is learned by use the rules must be added for finish" and the learned philologist Facciolati observes, I am indebted to the classical authors for every thing I know, to the grammarians I owe nothing." SEIDENSTÜCKER, was the first who in 1811 introduced this new Method for the Latin, Greek and French languages, and to him belongs in justice the merit, of having introduced a rational system of tuition. Ahn who made use of this method long after in 1834, acknowledges in his Preface, Seiden stücker as the originator of the System. But there was an essential point omitted even in these books. It was, that the "grammatical form should precede the Exercises, so that the learner "should at once be made acquainted with the grammatical structure "of the foreign language, without which, he could never attain a "thorough knowledge of it". This then is the principle which has been followed in "FRANZ THIMM'S Series of European Grammars" and which gives it a distinct feature of progress over the former systems pursued. The prevalent idea in these grammars is that of teaching a language easily and pleasantly, of adapting it to every capacity, of removing all unnecessary difficulties and at the same time of imparting the necessary grammatical knowledge. In this respect therefore "Franz Thimm's Series of Grammars" is not ouly original, but extending the new Method to all the languages of Europe, it is unique.
