PREFACE.
The aid of a reliable book of dialogues in the study of a language
cannot be overestimated, and it is with a view to further increasing the
usefulness in this respect of the present work that it has been
thoroughly revised, and a number of important changes made in it. The
pages on Spanish pronunciation have been re-written and augmented, as
have also those on the verbs, and numerous additions have been made to
the vocabularies, several of which have also been rearranged. As in the
new editions of the French and other dialogues of the series, idioms and
proverbs, alphabetically arranged, have been substituted for less useful
matter, and some aids are given to letter-writing, but for a full
treatment of this latter subject those interested are referred to
special works dealing with it issued by the same publishers.
The above changes, together with others of a minor character, but which
bring the work right up to date, will, it is felt, be appreciated by all
desirous of acquiring a good conversational knowledge of the Spanish
language.
