Excerpt from A Condensed Russian Grammar: For the Use of Staff-Officers and Others
This is not intended as a grammar for young schoolboys. It presupposes a general knowledge of the grammar of some one other language. The explanation of grammatical terms has therefore been omitted as a work of supererogation, since it is not likely that Russian, although perhaps the most methodical of modern languages, will ever be the first language an English man or woman will wish to study.
I have not gone into the pronunciation at any length. Because I hold it to be utterly impossible to convey on paper any thing like approximately the true pronunciation of Russian words. It is only to be learnt directly by oral tuition. And I would recommend any student of the language not to be deluded into the idea that this can be self taught, but to begin by taking half-a-dozen lessons at least in reading; or he will find that his pronunciation, as gathered from grammars alone, is peculiar to himself and unintelligible in the country of the Tsar.
