James Robertson,
D.D., LL.D.,
Emeritus Professor of
Semitic Languages in the University of Glasgow.
"Mr. Upson has undertaken a difficult task, as anyone who has attempted to teach Arabic can testify, and he has succeeded. The task is to give the student not only a competent knowledge of the laws of the language, but also tLe power to use the language as a living tongue Avith a literature.
"ARABIC SIMPLIFIED and
claims to be a 'practical'
grammar
makes good the claim. It is practicable, in the sense that it leads the student on by a smooth path, step by step, in a course of 200 lessons, till the Avhole ground is covered. There are exercises at every stage, with well selected vocabularies. The student is stimulated, by the question and ansAver form of the lessons, to solve difficulties, and he is made to feel sure of himself by revision of it
work, test questions, and periodical Examination Papers " The lessons are evidently drawn up by a practical educationist, keenly alive to the difficulties felt by the learner and skilful in overcoming them. They also show an accurate acquaintance Avith the Avhole extensive and somewhat perplexing field of Arabic Grammar. The introduction, from the very first, and constant explanation of the Syntax, and the presentation of the laAVS of the language from the point of vicAV of the native grammarian, are features bej'ond
"And

may
praise Avith confidence
be said that,

Foreword to First Edition. During the year
1908, the author
had the good fortune
to
be
enrolled as a student of the Rev. John C. Wilcox's new and then comparatively unknown course of ''Hebrew Simplified," and the
thought passed through the minds of both that possibly sometime system might be found suitable for the teaching of Arabic. Nothing was, however, done at the time. in the future this
