A Gothic Grammar, with selections for reading and a glossary. By Wilhelm Braune. Translated (from the fourth German edition) and edited by Gerhard H. Balg. Milwaukee: Printed for the author (and in New York and London by actual publishers), 1895. —Of interest also as an example of attempted English spelling reform; the translator has resolved to eliminate the silent E from the language where it does not lengthen a previous vowel (as in comparativ, possibl, hav, giv, lernd) Interestingly, the second edition, published in New York by Westermann & Co. in 1883, does not use reformed spelling. Perhaps the spelling reform is the reason for Balg’s taking over the publication himself.
