English orientalist Edward Henry Palmer (1840–1882), was distinguished figure as a linguist and as a traveler. He was professor of Arabic at University of Cambridge. He did two travels from Egypt through the Sinai Desert to Jerusalem. His first mission was successful, but he was ambushed and killed on the second. He wrote many books in different languages. But his works in Arabic are more, and more important. He wrote three Arabic textbooks: A. Grammar of the Arabic Language, Arabic Manual Grammar Reading Lessons Exercises and Simplified Grammar of Hindustani Persian and Arabic. The first is a detailed grammar book. The second is a book on classical and spoken language. The third is a comparative work prepared for philological studies. In this study, the mentioned books will be discussed one by one and comparisons will be made between them in purpose, content and style.
