Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the Sanskrit Language: Arranged With Reference to the Classical Languages of Europe, for the Use of English Students

IN 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.
