Nestor-Schnuemann J. Russian Manual

Second edition. — London: Crosby Lockwood and Son, 1884. — 338 p.Comprising a Condensed Grammae, Exercises with Analyses, useful Dialogues, reading Lessons, Tables of coins, Weights and Measures, and a Alphabetically arranged.This Manual has been written with a view to assist those English students who are desirous of acquiring by self-tuition a knowledge of the Russian language; and the fact of there being no work of a similar chai'acter has induced me, at the instance of the publishers of this book, to attempt the undertaking. All that is essential to the language is given in as concise a form as possible, while all useless digressions are studiously avoided. No pains have been spared to give equivalents in English for every Russian sound, thus aiding the student to acquire the correct pronunciation. These explanations he will find well worth his attention, not only to enable him to speak Russian properly, but also because a mastery of the numerous Russian consonants will be of assistance in acquiring the pronunciation of any other language.
