Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Italian Grammar What is new in this work is chiefly the division and arrange ment of topics, though the Introduction assembles material upon pronunciation and versification not hitherto brought together in English, and there is some novelty in subject matter in the exer cises for translation. The plan of the book has the merit of having grown directly out of the needs of the classroom. The arrange ment is such, it is hoped, as will make the book equally serviceable for the classroom and for private study, and will give it certain of the advantages of both first book and reference grammar. The beginning has been deliberately made very easy. Even the definite article, with which most Italian grammars naturally begin, has been deferred in favor of the indefinite, which, as it lacks a plural, has fewer forms itself and does not immediately require the plural of nouns. This leaves the attention free to center upon the single new principle of the s impure. The definite article with its more complicated forms is not introduced until the fourth les son, and the main body of rules governing its syntax not until the twenty-second. The plural of nouns is treated in its simpler aspects in the third lesson, and extensively in the thirtieth.
