Grammaire allemande à l'usage des commenc̨ans
Genève: Berthier-Guers, 1828. Revised edition. Full title: "Grammaire allemande à l'usage des commenc̨ans : contenant les principales règles de la langue allemande enseignées d'après une méthode claire et facile, suivie de thèmes allemands et franc̨ais et de modèles d'écriture." Scarce 19th century French language grammar textbook for German beginners; it overs the core rules of German syntax, morphology, and usage in a systematic, pedagogical format aimed at French-speaking learners. Designed for "commençants" (beginners), it emphasises practical rules over theory, typical of era grammars bridging Enlightenment pedagogy and Romantic interest in German literature. In blue hardback mottled boards. These are a little rubbed and lightly soiled. Page edges blue mottled. Neat owner's name in ink to blank at front. 16 pages of printed "manuscript" in German. Presumably to get students used to reading handwriting. Several pressed flowers found between pages. iv, 16, 400 pp. 19 x 11 cm. Revised edition.
