About this book
A Grammar Of The Kaffir Language - William B Boyce
Author: Boyce, William B. (William Binnington), 1803-1889
Year: 1844
When the Rev. William J. Davis was about to visit England in the year 1839, he was requested to super intend the printing and publication of a new edition of the Rev. William Boyce's Kaffir Grammar. That office of friendship he performed in a manner highly creditable to himself, and introduced, in various portions of the work, some important improvements; which would have been still more ample, had not his brief sojourn in this country prevented the completion of his wishes. After his return to Africa, he transmitted for insertion the “Analytical Compendium of Kaffir Grammar,” in three Synoptical Tables, with explanatory notes, which are now prefixed to the Grammar, and which will convey to the reader a clear view of the peculiar genius and curious construction of this ancient and very refined language.
