The vocabulary has been chosen carefully, avoiding the artificiality of
too much commercial technology, but keeping constantly in view the
object of the Series, viz., to produce grammars specially suitable for
students preparing for a commercial career.

Whether I have succeeded in my efforts it is for the public to judge. I
can only say that, after more than twenty-five years' teaching of
Spanish in all its stages, privately, at the Manchester University and
in the large classes of our public Institutions, I have tried my best to
give the fruits of my experience to any interested young people who may
be eager to learn a language beautiful, noble, and most useful.

I do not claim to have reached perfection. I only trust the book, such
as it presents itself, will be of real help to the student.
