G. Eugene Fasnacht 
Progressive German Reader 
First Year, Containing an Introduction to the German Order of Words, With Copious Examples, Extracts From German Authors in Prose and Poetry, Notes and Vocabularies

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In compiling this elementary german reader, it has been my aim to lead the beginner on by gradual advances to a mastery of the chief structural features of the language.
