The object of the present work is to assist the student in arriving at a more intimate acquaintance with the Turkish language. Than can be acquired by means of the grammars which have hitherto been published, and which are either incorrect or too complex for a general reader. For a person who aspires to read and write a language with any degree of accuracy, something more is necessary than a superficial knowledge of grammatical rules. He must study its construction and possess a just conception of its organization and this the author ventures to hope may be effected by following the plan laid down in these pages. While it is impossible to foresee all the difficulties that may arise in the mind of a student, the author has done his best towards anticipating them, and in this task he has been mainly guided by the remarks and questions put to him by his pupils in the several stages of their progress.
