Excerpt from A Brief Swedish Grammar The introduction of Swedish into numerous high schools and universities in this country has created a demand for a book which may not only assist the exclusively English speaking students to attain a fair reading and speaking knowledge of modern Swedish but which may also meet the demand of American born students of Swedish descent who desire to gain a more complete knowledge of the lan guage of their fathers. The consideration that the majority of the students who will use his book are already more or less conversant with Swedish has led the author to make the lessons longer and the exercises rather more advanced than is the case in most beginners' books, to make the vocabularies unusually voluminous, and to devote consider able attention to idiomatic expressions.
