VOLUME TWO, UNITS 16 THROUGH 25, CONTINUE THIS INTRODUCTORY COURSE IN URDU. THE GENERAL FORMAT IN THE FIRST FIVE UNITS IS CONSISTENT WITH VOLUME ONE (IN WHICH THE SOUNDS, BASIC STRUCTURES, AND WRITING SYSTEM WERE INTRODUCED). THE LAST FIVE UNITS BEGIN WITH AN ESSAY WRITTEN IN URDU SCRIPT FOLLOWED BY A VOCABULARY SECTION, WHICH TOGETHER REPLACE THE CONVERSATION SECTIONS OF EARLIER UNITS. ESSAY TOPICS PROVIDE FURTHER CULTURAL INFORMATION OF IMPORTANCE TO THE STUDENT. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST IS THE DISCUSSION OF LINGUISTIC AND LITERARY HISTORY IN UNIT XXIV. THIS TEXT IS AVAILABLE FROM MCGILL UNIVERSITY PRESS, 3458 REDPATH STREET, MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA. (AM)
