Excerpt from A Practical Grammar of the Turkish Language, (as Spoken and Written): With Exercises for Translation Into Turkish, Quotations From Turkish Authors, Illustrating Turkish Syntax and Composition, and Such Rules of the Arabic and Persian Grammars as Have Been Adopted by the Osmanlis Another new feature I have introduced into this volume is the illustration of the rules of Turkish syntax and composition by passages from native authors. Writers on Turkish grammar have hitherto contented themselves with giving one or two short sentences (generally of their own) as examples of the rules of syntax. Quotations from Turkish books are far more interesting and authoritative; and, as they will serve the double purpose of elucidating the rules and introducing the learner to reading Turkish, I have made them long and numerous.
