I have endeavoured in this short grammar to give the student a clear notion of the framework of the Roumanian language. Any elucidatory details which may be considered not absolutely indispensable in a strictly philological handbook will nevertheless prove useful to those who learn the language for practical purposes (from the Introduction).

The grammar includes chapters on the alphabet and pronunciation, nominal and verbal morphology, syntax. (Re-edition; originally published 1883 in London; written in English)
