This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. The book contains very detailed table of contents, both in English and Mongolian, necessary linguistic terms explained throughout the book, literal translation for analytical understanding, extensive appendix (suffix list, index, etc.), many example sentences of everyday life, helpful comparison and overview tables, insights in Mongolian cultural heritage, hints for using colloquial language, necessary rules. Mongolian Grammar is recommended for learners and researchers of the Mongolian language and for Mongolians learning English. It also contains nearly all grammar forms appearing in colloquial, current literary and ancient literary language. The book has examples to every grammar form both Cyrillic and classical Uyghur script is handled. Each grammar form has several examples in English and Mongolian in complete sentences, highlighting the grammar. All forms are explained, even the differences between the script used in China and Mongolia, not to mention the ‘ancient’ endings which one could find in historical documents. For studies of Mongolian language it was a great help to understand the grammar forms and it remains helpful for understanding the classical script. One of the highlights of this book is a complete list of the grammar terms in Mongolian, English and German language; also the contents are available in English and Mongolian. That makes this book very helpful for native Mongolian speakers for explaining their language to foreigners.

Isaac Jacob Schmidt (1779 – 1847) was an Orientalist specializing in Mongolian and Tibetan. Schmidt was a Moravian missionary to the Kalmyks and devoted much of his labours to Bible translation. Born in Amsterdam, he spent much of his career in St. Petersburg as a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He published the first grammar and dictionary of Mongolian, as well as a grammar and dictionary of Tibetan. He also translated Sanang Sechen's Erdeni-yin tobči into German, and several Geser Khan Epics into Russian and German. His works are regarded as ground-breaking for the establishment of Mongolian and Tibetan studies.His work gave Schmidt an opportunity for frequent business contacts with the local Kalmyks, and he eventually learnt both the Kalmyk and the classical Mongolian script. At the same time, he began collecting Kalmyk and Mongolian manuscripts and keeping records on Kalmyk language, religion and history. From 1807 to 1812 Schmidt worked for his church in Saratov. In 1812, he married his wife Helena Wigand. In the same year, his church sent him to Moscow and then to St. Petersburg. Unfortunately, many of his records and collected manuscripts were destroyed in the fire of Moscow of that year.
