Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the Sanskrit Language: Arranged With Reference to the Classical Languages of Europe, for the Use of English StudentsIN 1846 I published a Grammar of the Sanskrit language, which I entitled 'an elementary Grammar, arranged accord ing to a new Theory.' This work is now out of print, and a new edition is required. The increasing experience which, during the subsequent ten years, I have derived from my duties as Sanskrit Professor at the east-india College, where every student without exception is compelled by statute to acquire this language, has led me to modify some of the views I expressed in my first Grammar respect ing the Indian grammatical system. 'i have consequently felt myself called upon to re-write the book, and although I have seen no reason to depart materially from the arrangement originally adopted, yet I am confident that the present enlarged and more complete work will be found even better adapted than its predecessor to the practical wants of the European student.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
