Excerpt from A Compendious German and English Dictionary: With Notation of Correspondences and Brief Etymologies The innovations in spelling which are beginning to find authoritative acceptance and currency in Germany will be found generally noticed, alongside the old traditional ortho graphy. It is as yet too early to put the new in place of the old - as it is too early to discard the use of capitals for all nouns, the use of the old monkish characters, and other unde sirable inherited peculiarities against which the Germans them selves are beginning a struggle wherein we may heartily wish them success.
