Grammar is the first attempt of the kind in English. It is to be hoped that it may be instrumental in furthering the study of Polish, a noble language, which is still spoken by about ten millions of people. I have consulted with advantage previous works on the subject, written in Polish, German andF rench. I have found the Comparative Grammar of Miklosich, the Historico-C omparative Grammar of Malecki (2 vols., Lemberg, 1879), and the works ofO rda (P aris, 1856) andR ykaczewski (B erlin, 1861) very useful. Following the plan of theS implified Grammars, I have only given an outline of the language, but this outline will be found to contain all the chief rules, which I have endeavoured to make as plain as possible. The student of comparative philology will thus be able to form a correct idea of the structure of the language, and it may serve as a rudimentary handbook to any one who is anxious to road the works of such authors as Mickiewicz and Krasinski in the original.
