This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(In offering this Grammar of the Pushto to theO rientalist...)

In offering this Grammar of the Pushto to theO rientalist and theS tudent, as well as to those who may take an interest in the hardy, warlike, and independent race who speak the Afghan language, I deem it necessary to state, that the idea of the following pages originated in my being under the necessity of making aG rammar for my own convenience, during the years 1849 and 1850, when stationed atP eshawer with my Eegiment, which formed part of theB ombay Division of the Army of the Panjab in the late campaign. Having a deal of leisure time on my hands, and imagining that by studying the peculiar and little known language of the A fghans, anO fficer mi(ht be considered in some measure qualified for employment where the Pushto is spoken, I determined to try to acquire some knowledge of this dialect, the mastery of which had never been attempted, except by the late Major Leech, of theB ombay Engineers, and (as I have since found) Professor Bernhard Dorn, of St. Petersburgh. Unable to obtain or discover anything like a guide to the grammatical rules of the language, a matter to which the Afghans of the present day appear to have paid no attention, I commenced my studies with the poems of Mulla abdur-R ahman. I did not find them very difficult, or even so much so as I had expected ;for I had the advantage if such there be in knowing Oriental languages of possessing some proficiency in Persian, and some acquaintance with A rabic and other tongues. Still there were difficulties to contend with; and I was obliged to make a sort of outline Grammar, which was filled in as I advanced, and examples compared and selected. I had fortunately at the outset secured the services of an Afghan of Hashtnagar, in theD oaba of Peshawer aM olawi of theM uhammadzo etribe aB ythe Orders of the Government of I ndia, I was awarded the sum of 1000 Rupees, by the Governor inC ouncil of Bo (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Not illustrated. 1880 Excerpt: ...the real danger of his case, replied, "Come down, my friend; the water is so good that I cannot drink enough of it, and so abundant that it cannot be exhausted." Upon this the goat, without any more ado, leaped into the well. Upon her arrival the fox, taking advantage of his friend's horns, and nimbly having leaped, came out of the well, and coolly remarked to the poor deluded goat, "If you had half as much brains as you have beard, you would have looked before you leaped." 3. The Wolf and Crane. A wolf had got a bone stuck in his throat, and, in the greatest agony, ran up and down, beseeching every animal he met to relieve him of his pain, and hinted at a very handsome reward to the successful operator. A crane, moved by his entreaties and promises, having ventured his long neck down the wolf's throat, drew out the bone from it. He then modestly asked for the promised reward. On hearing this, the wolf, grinning and showing his teeth, replied, with seeming indignation, "Ungrateful creature! What other reward do you ask for than that having put your head into a wolf's jaws, you brought it safe out again!" Moral.--Those persons who are charitable only in the hope of a return, must not be surprised if, in their dealings with evil men, in lieu of thanks they meet with boundless jeers. Ka-4. The vain Jackdaw. A jackdaw, as vain and conceited as a jackdaw could well be, having picked up the feathers which some peacocks had shed, stuck them among her own, and despising her old companions, introduced herself with the greatest assurance into a flock of those beautiful birds. They instantly detecting the character of the intruder, stripped her of her borrowed plumes, andfalling upon her with their beaks, sent her about her business. The ...
