The Arabic Manual: Comprising a Condensed Grammar of Both the Classical and Modern Arabic; Reading Lessons (Classic Reprint)

This little work is intended to form a complete intro- duction to the A rabic language as written and spoken at the present day. Without a knowledge of the grammatical construction of the ancient tongue it is impossible fully to understand that of the modern dialect, which, however, becomes quite easy with such aid. The student, after mastering the grammatical portion of the book, is recommended to study carefully theE eading Lessons, pp. 100-115; he should then do all theE xercises forT ranslation, pp. 146-160; after which he should carefully peruse the translations fromE nglish into A rabic, pp. 160-177, referring where necessary to the Transliteration and Notes, pp. 193-216. He will then have acquired a sufficient vocabulary and insight into the language to enable him to read any ordinary work in literary A rabic, or to commence, with the help of the second part of theM anual, the study of the spoken dialect. As a subsequent course of reading, he should take the Kor an (E d. Fliigel, Lipsise, mdccclviii.), with my translation (M ax Miiller sS acred Text Series, vols. vi. and ix.
