Originally published in 1912. INTRODUCTION: It is chiefly at the
beginning that the difficulties of Sanskrit present themselves. The
variety of forms, the strange alphabet, the peculiarities of word
and sentence combination, - all these simultaneously confront the
student at the very outset. Accordingly, the plan followed with my
classes, and for which provision is here made, is to distribute
these difficulties over the first few weeks of the course. The
common paradigms of nouns and verbs should first be learned. These
are given by the grammar in transliteration. The reading of the
first four pages of the Nala in Roman letters should then be taken
up.......This early works is a comprehensive and informative look
at the subject with much of the information still useful and
practical today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high q
This reader is designed to serve as an introduction to the subject
for the students and to provide knowledge of Sanskrit to the
teachers of high schools, academies and colleges. The work helps to
correct some of the false notions which are prevalent respecting
the relations of Sanskrit to other languages of the Indo-European
family. It also keeps saving the literature from undue depreciation
and from exaggerated praise. The author has made selections from
various Sanskrit writings keeping two aims in mind: firstly to
provide abundant material for thorough drill in the language of
classical period; and secondly, to furnish a brief introduction to
the works of the Vedic period, Mantra, Brahmana and Sutra best
suited for beginners.
