This grammar-reader is based on almost twenty years' experience of teaching beginners the Swedish language and is reassuringly practical in approach. Miss Hird's aims are threefold: to provide a compromise between the traditional grammar-readers and the new textbooks which are not designed for beginners outside Sweden; to supply grammatical information and exercises and reading texts together for ease of reference; and to stimulate the student's interest in Swedish life, institutions and culture. The grammar part of the book is in seventeen lessons, each comprising a text in Swedish which Miss Hird has specially composed to include useful vocabulary and graded grammatical points upon which exercises (including translation exercises) are set for practice. The central theme of the texts is Stockholm, and attractive drawings illustrate it. To help the student, there is a full vocabulary list covering all the lessons, a brief summary of Swedish grammar, a glossary of grammatical terms, a check list of irregular verbs and a comprehensive index of the grammatical points covered in the book. In the reader part of the book, the texts chosen range from a short play by Strindberg to a sketch by Stig Claesson, one of Sweden's most popular contemporary authors. Each text is preceded by a short biographical and literary introduction and is followed by questions designed to test the student's comprehension and to stimulate his appreciation.

Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the Swedish Language: With Reading-and Writing-Exercises It is probably impossible to give any course or system of reading which would be exactly appli cable to all. One has a good memory, but a weak judgment, another a penetrating 1udgnient', bi1t a bad memory, one has great application, another Will scarce ly look at the book excepting in the piesence of the master; there are in fact never two alike. One of the principal difficulties, therefore, in teaching a language or any thing else, is to find out the dispo sitiou and powers of the pupil, and to adopt the method best suited in each particular case. On this account the author has thought, that a/grammar ought to be so arranged, that the teacher is supplied with materials, but 1 that he should be left, to a certain extent, to _work them out himself, according to the demands of each pupil. In a class this would be more difficult than with a Single pupil, but he must then be guided by the majority of the members.
