Harvey W.F. A Simplified Grammar of the Spanish Language

London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner and Co Ltd, 1890. — 153 p.Of the making of Spanish grammars there has apparently been no end; but, so far as I am aware, no short grammar based on philological principles, and treating of the ancient as well as the modern language, has yet appeared in England or on the Continent. I have consulted with advantage all previous works on the subject, written in German, Spanish, French, and English, that have come within my reach. No perfectly satisfactory grammar of Spanish at present exists: that of Paul Forster is the most extensive and the best. Much that has been omitted, in order to keep the book within the limits of a ‘simplified’ grammar, I hope at some future time to supply. I trust, however, that a careful perusal of this little book will enable the student, aided by a good dictionary, to make himself acquainted with the noble but unjustly neglected literature of Spain.
