Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Skeleton Spanish Grammar The Skeleton Spanish Grammar, first published in 1917, was intended for students and teachers who realized the necessity of a sound knowledge of grammar, and wished to have the irreducible minimum in clear and convenient form before them. Its success has enabled me to bring out a new and enlarged edition, which, in plan and general arrangement, follows its original. Condensation of matter, elasticity of treatment, and, above all, accuracy and clearness, have been kept in view throughout. The principal departure in this edition has been the inclusion of an introductory section on the sounds of the Spanish language, together with a sound chart and a number of exercises in phonetic transcription, the notation used being that of the International Phonetic Association as adapted in my Phonetic Spanish Reader. The paucity of material at present available for those who wish to have an accurate and scientific knowledge of the pronunciation of Spanish leads me to hope that these new sections will be found of utility; I have been greatly helped in preparing them by Professor Daniel Jones, who has kindly read the most important parts in manuscript and made many suggestions. The general arrangement of the Grammar, which makes it a useful manual of reference as well as a class-book, has not been altered.
