Excerpt from New High German, Vol. 1 of 2: A Comparative Study
Owing partly to this cause, partly to the death in October, 1892, of Mr. M. S. Valentine himself, who had charge of his brother's affairs, the publication has been delayed till the present year, though this may, perhaps, be considered as of little consequence in the case of a work which possesses some claim to be regarded as of permanent value. Even as it stands, it is certainly the most comprehensive original English work that has yet appeared on the German language, one might almost say on the Teutonic linguistic group, so copious and systematic are the references for comparative purposes, not only to the older forms of High German itself, but also to Gothic, Anglo Saxon, and the other sister tongues.
