Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the Sanskrit Language for the Use of Early Students
Sanskrit though no longer spoken by the people at large, is still the classical language of India, the key to the religious, philosophical and legal literature of the country, the source from which many of the modern dialects now spoken at Calcutta, Benares, and Bombay have sprung, and the storehouse from which all draw a great portion of their vocables.
The necessity of acquiring some knowledge of this language as the best introduction to the study of the vernaculars, and as the only means of acquiring an in sight into the national, social, and religious peculiarities of the Hindus, has produced in England a large number of works intended to facilitate and foster the study of Sanskrit; and the grammars of Colebrooke Carey, Wil kins, Forster, Yates and Wilson will always occupy a high rank in the history of Sanskrit scholarship.
But the last work of this kind, and the only one which is now to be had in England, the 'grammar of the Sans krit Language. By Monier Williams. 2d ed. Oxford is, I am compelled to say, the least apt to accomplish the aim for which it is written.
