A First Spanish Reader by Erwin W. Roessler is a textbook designed to teach through graded readings and exercises. It introduces learners to the vocabulary and forms of its subject, building skill step by step in the manner of classic instructional manuals.
Preserved here as a free public-domain EPUB, the book is part of Better Gutenberg’s Language & Communication shelf, which gathers foundational texts in linguistics, rhetoric, etymology, and the study of languages. Whether you come to it as a scholar, a student, or a lover of words, it offers a lasting record of how earlier generations understood and described human speech.
