Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Russian Grammar, Vol. 1 of 2 The present little work, exhibiting in as clear and scientific a form as possible the main features of Russian accidence and syntax, may be looked upon as an introductory abridgement to the author's larger Con versation Grammar now under the press and nearly ready. This Elementary Grammar is intended to facilitate the -study of the language for beginners, and will in many cases suffice, especially for those Who Wish to learn, the Russian language for practical purposes only, without any pretension to literary or scientific knowledge. In spite of its modest aspirations, it is however to be hoped that this short guide will not be found entirely undeserving of even the philologist's attention. By going through it, learners will soon perceive that Russian is by far not so difficult as it is generally believed, and that, if necessary, it can as well as any other dead or living language, be studied and learnt without the assistance of a teacher. To this end a Key of the Exercises has been issued. It will also be seen that even the so dreaded rules of pronunciation are not beyond the reach of diligent self tuition. Dr. J. Wright in Oxford had the kindness to revise the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
