The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Book Review: Bohemian Grammar
BOOK REVIEW.
Bohemian Literary Society, Chicago, Illinois.
Previous to the appearance of this small book of 200 pages the only grammars of Bohemian avail able to English-speaking people who desire to study this language were very hard to obtain. Charles Jonáš wrote a grammar in 1890, entitled Bohemian Made Easy, and R. W . Morfill, professor at the University of Oxford, published a book in 1899 entitled “Grammar of the Bohemian or Čech Language.”
Mr. Nigrin’s book is neither too heavy nor too elementary and it will be very useful to American and English friends of the Czechoslovaks who are sufficiently in earnest to try to master their difficult language. Mr. Nigrin has been for three years a teacher of Bohemian in the Carter H. Harrison Technical High School and is well qualified for the task which he undertook.
The Bohemian Literary Society, publishers of the grammar, are also publishing a series of Bohemian Classics to be used primarily as school texts. The books that have appeared so far are: Krupař Kleofáš by A. V. Šmilovský (short story), České pohadky (Bohemian folklore), and Noc na Karlštejně (comedy) by Jaroslav Vrchlický.
The address of the Bohemian Literary Society is 2315 South Ridgeway avenue, Chicago, Ill.
