"Mr, and Mrs. Vaccari have brought out what I would like to regard as the most complete book to date for the study of Japanese, and have, thereby, provided an effective and practical guide toward a basic study of the Japanese nation and people. The method introduced by the authors is not only scientific, but human the particular of the language, fully treated with practical examples, have been regulated in each lesson according to the measure of a partial effort of the mind. The Japanese taught in the book has struck me as of the best commonly accepted diction to-day... The authors have introduced a new system of giving the sentences in the book in Japanese characters and Roman transliteration with their respective English translation, an innovation most likely to prove very helpful.,. Mr. and Mrs, Vaccari have published a book of high merit and may be regarded as the initiators of a new system for teaching Japanese.
