Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commercial Dutch Grammar (Superseding the Practical Dutch Grammar): A Grammar for Private Students, Civil Servants, Business Men, and for Use in Colleges and the Higher Classes in Schools The Practical Dutch Grammar has had a run of ten years. In that time the author has seen its extended 6th (i.e. 7th) Edition. Its record has all along been so satisfactory and encouraging, that it shall be preserved on the fly-leaf of the book which supersedes it. The present volume is issued under another name. The disappearance of the word "Practical" from the title, however, does not affect the practical side of the book. On the contrary, this will be found increased to such an extent, as to render comparison between the two a matter of difficulty. The "Practical Grammar" was the writer's first attempt; a further experience of ton years of language teaching in South Africa should to some extent be a warrant for the superiority of the present work above its predecessor. Not only that, - but Africa's actual wants were not fully revealed to the young author of the "Practical Grammar." While it, however, ran its course, the fairest opportunities were furnished him for using eye and ear, - and the "Commercial Grammar" is issued as the embodiment of hints kindly furnished. Provision has been made for schools. English children have the "Elementary Dutch Grammar," Dutch children the "Practische Hollandsche Spraakkunst," while one series of Dutch Readers has been issued with English vocabularies annexed. But another class of students must be reached. Young men reading for the Matriculation or the Civil Service examinations, men in business, merchants and agents, those are they for whom this book has been compiled, and to whom the author inscribes it with the fervent hope that they may find it what they need.
