Opis: A Handbook of Colloquial Japanese (Classic Reprint) - Chamberlain Basil Hall

Excerpt from A Handbook of Colloquial Japanese

This edition, though revised with great care, practically reproduces its forerunners of 1888 and 1889. A small quantity of new matter added to the "Theoretical Part," or Grammar proper, for completeness sake, has been absorbed into the old paragraphs without disturbing their order. Thus, references to the Colloquial Handbook in a manual of Japanese writing which the author has in view, will be equally intelligible to students, whichever edition they may happen to possess. In the "Practical Part," or Reader, one or two pieces that had lost their interest have been dropped, and a new piece - an extract from the debates in the Imperial Diet - has been substituted.

Thanks are due to many correspondents - some of them personally unknown to the author - for corrections and suggestions. Similar criticism will always be gratefully received in the future; for in the case of a language so exceptionally difficult as Japanese, the utmost that any grammarian, however painstaking, can hope to produce necessarily falls far short of the ideal, and here, if anywhere, the saying holds good that in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
