Présentation de l'éditeur

A rabic on from the rudiments of the Language to what may be considered advanced prose. The Preliminary Exercises (P art I) are to be used during the study of the grammar and syntax. References have been added at the foot of the page to the late Mr Thornton suseful abridgement of Wright s Arabic Grammar edited by Mr R. A. Nicholson, MA., for the Cambridge University Press; but as the ground covered in each exercise is indicated in the heading, the student may use any grammar to which he is accustomed. I ndeed, a progressive grammar of Classical A rabic, on the principle of the late Professor Davidson s Elementary Hebrew Grammar, is still a desideratum. The Proses in Part II have been selected for the most part from Vols. I and nof the admirable Majani l-A dab published by the Jesuit Fathers in Beyrout, but also from other sources; and those in Part III from the weekly edition of the famous Cairo newspaper A l-M uaiyad, edited by the Sheikh A li Yusuf; whilst those in Part IV consist of extracts from the Times, from Lord Cromer s Modem Egypt, and other sources, which were reproduced in an A rabic version in the columns of the Muaiyad. To each of the first sixteen of these there has been added a literal version, which should be carefully compared with the original and then translated into A rabic. In the case of the remainder, as in the earlier parts, footnotes have been considered sufficient. There is nothing incongruous in attempting to combine in one volume the classical and the modern A rabic.
