CROWELL & Co. have in preparation Heinrich von Sybel's" History of the Founding of the German Empire by William I.," translated by Prof. Perrin, formerly of Göttingen and now of Boston University. race by an entirely new and original system, by which he expresses the thirty-nine sounds of the English language without inventing a single new type, and without using any vowel combinations, or diacritical marks. He also avoids accent marks by symbolically designating the accent in every word. Mr. Knoflach claims his method is so simple that any foreigner of intelligence can master a correct pronunciation in three or four weeks, and learn enough words for all the ordinary purposes of life. Since English is already spoken by more civilized people than any other language, it seems a very wise idea to make all people speak English instead of making all Engish-speaking people struggle with a new world anguage that may prove a failure.
