Abstract
THIS book is intended to enable the science student to acquire a reading knowledge of scientific German in a short time. The essentials of grammar and a basic vocabulary are built around a Hans Andersen story. The bulk of the volume consists of passages for translation, and the author has evidently been at some pains to select material which has scientific interest as well as a bearing on the development of his theme. A person with a little previous knowledge of German will find the reading of this book an excellent means of brushing up grammar and rapidly acquiring the ability to make sense of scientific literature. A complete beginner might find himself in some difficulty without a little outside assistance.
