Présentation de l'éditeur

The grammatical introduction is intended merely to supplement any grammar that may be in use in our schools and colleges. My own classes have had these notes and, because of their appreciation of them, they are now given to the public in the hope that they will find a welcome. In the introduction to the select vocabulary, p. 17, the importance of getting a working vocabulary as soon as possible has been emphasized. In the main vocabulary, which consists of some 2000 entries, great care has been taken to give students a fair knowledge of synonyms. It is just possible that brevity has been considered at the expense of clearness. Pains has been taken to indicate the government of verbs taking the genitive, and dative, and where nouns, adjectives and verbs require a preposition to complete their sense, this has been indicated, and when there might be any doubt, the case governed. This has been a very exacting piece of work, and as there may be omissions and errors any corrections or suggestions will be thankfully received. The exercises of Part I. are a departure from the usual exercises in grammar. Too often these consist of a lot of sentences, made up of unusual words and idioms, to be found in every grammar of every language and absolutely without interest to any one, dead material. My object in constructing these exercises was to use the everyday living language which all students would feel was likely to be useful.
