Excerpt from An Introductory Hebrew Grammar: With Progressive Exercises in Reading, Writing, and Pointing
AT the request of the publishers I have undertaken the re vision oi the late Professor A. B. Davidson's Hebrew Grammar. Ivith some reluctance, I confess; for it is always dangerous to touch the work of another man, especially when that other is a master, and his work, in its original form, has achieved an almost unique popularity, as attested by eighteen successive editions. But two considerations decided me to make the attempt. Firstly, eighteen years of ex perience in teaching the grammar and dealing with students in their initial struggles with the language, have convinced me that there were not a few perplexities which did not readily resolve themselves to men who had only an average stock of patience and linguistic interest. And secondly, the publishers gave me an absolutely free hand. Of the liberty thus generously accorded, I have made very ample use. With the exception of the vocabularies (which, however, have been slightly extended by the addition of proper names) and of the exercises for translation (which again have been in places considerably modified) little remains of the original Grammar but the order of the sections.
