Title: hard to use,poorly printed,vocabulary for bible thumpers
Review: Written in 1887. This book is the worst language book I have ever used. I can't spell or pass a grammer test but this book stinks. For example Page 141-exercise to exihibit typical Nepali idioms " If ye had faith as (much as) a grain of mustard seed ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be rooted up ....." The grammer is presented in a format that is very tricky to understand and seems to be endless. At the end of the book is an Army Formulary with sentances like "Eight days' imprisonment with hard labour." translated into Nepali. This book is hard to find and that is one of its best charateristics. It has a lovely red solid hard cover and my copy will certainly last untill I throw it out.
Is the review positive or negative?
