A Practical Grammar of Sanskrit Language

It was with the 1878 original of this classic that the study of Sanskrit was commenced in earnest throughout the European world. It recognizes the difficulties of the English learner accustomed to the Roman script. The first chapter dealing with the Devanagari script with its pronunciation, classification, interchange of Sanskrit, Greek and Latin letters and method of writing takes full care of this problem. The student is so carefully conducted through all the intricate mazes of Sanskrit grammar, that at the end of the journey, he scarcely notices the peculiarities of Sanskrit. This book provides the open-sesame for all those who seek the treasures of knowledge, wisdom and beauty lying hidden in the Sanskrit classics.
