Excerpt from A Hebrew Grammar
The following pages are an attempt to supply a want suggested by the experience of two Lecturers for the first part of the Theological Tripos at Cambridge. A few words of explanation may serve to make this clear. There is at the present time a division of opinion among teachers as to the best way of learning a new language. Some insist, especially in the case of a dead language, on a long course of grounding in grammar before anything serious is attempted in the way of reading or speaking. Others seek to minimise the learning of grammar and to push on almost at once to some form of literature. The standpoint adopted in this book is that a certain amount of spade-work is necessary, in the way of learning by heart grammatical forms and usages; but that a good deal of memory-work may be saved by starting the beginner in actual reading as soon as he knows the more elementary grammatical forms. So the student is expected to work through the ordinary classes of nouns to the end of the regular (strong) Verb, before he reads the Old Testa ment; but at that point he is given assistance in starting the Hebrew text, before going on to the second half of the grammar. In this way he becomes accustomed to the sound and sight of many forms before he tries to commit them to memory.
