First Italian Readings (Classic Reprint): Selected And Edited, With Notes And Vocabulary
Excerpt from First Italian Readings: Selected and Edited, With Notes and Vocabulary
The notes are purposely brief, it having seemed preferable to render, under the proper word in the vocabulary, many expressions which, in other circumstances, might find a place in the notes. In constructing the vocabulary it has not been deemed necessary to insert all the forms, of article and pronoun, which are commonly listed in the first few pages of a grammar. Careful attention has been given to the irregular verb-forms, especially those occurring in the earlier selections.
The editor is indebted to Professor Joynes's French Fairy Tales for hints touching the annotation of the first two stories, and to Professor Grandgent's Italian Grammar and Composition for the wording of two or three statements in the notes and vocabulary; also to Professor Matzke of Stanford University for suggestions as to various series of racconti.
