Book excerpt: Excerpt from Infinite Constructions in Old Spanish When the study of the infinitive and its attendant locutions suggested itself as a desirable contribution to the understand ing of Spanish syntax, the subject was first thought of with especial reference to the present-day forms of Speech. A little application and reflection, however, was sufficient to establish the importance of laying a sure foundation on the testimony of the earliest literary documents. In the course of time it has come about that the present volume is at last submitted to scholars in the modest hope that it may serve not only as a systematic record of the facts in the case, but also and especially as an aid in the comprehension of modern phenomena in the light of their origin and historical relations.
