Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the German Language

The language, of which this grammar contains the practical rules, is frequently designated by the name of the High Ger man. This epithet was originally applied to the language in order to distinguish it from the Low German, which compre hends all those dialects that are spoken in the level coun tries of the north of Germany. But as the language which is called the High German, differs from the dialects of the south of Germany, as well as from those of the north, this name is now applied exclusively to that general language, which is spoken and written by all wellbred Germans. Accordingly it is more properly called the German language, without any other epithet.
