Synopsis

An Anglo-Saxon Reader, With Philological Notes: A Brief Grammar And A Vocabulary (1883) is a book written by Francis A. March that aims to introduce readers to the Old English language, also known as Anglo-Saxon. The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains a selection of Anglo-Saxon texts, including extracts from Beowulf, The Battle of Maldon, and The Dream of the Rood, among others. The texts are accompanied by philological notes that provide explanations of the language and its grammar. The second part of the book contains a brief grammar of the Anglo-Saxon language, including information on nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns, as well as a vocabulary of common Anglo-Saxon words. The book is intended for students of Old English and those interested in the history of the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Pt EF AC E. IT seems to be agreed that every English scholar ought to have some scholarly knowledge of theE nglish language. Then every English scholar ought to study A nglo-S axon. He ought to read representative passages in representative books of the literature thoroughly, dwelling on them line by line, and word by word, and making the text the foundation of general philological study. At least a daily lesson for one term ought to be given to this study in each of our colleges. Enough such extracts for two terms work are here given in a critical text. The notes contain, besides explanatory matter, outlines of the literature, biographical sketches of the authors, and bibliographical notices of manuscripts and editions. The authors Comparative Grammar opens with a history of the language, and illustrates the grammatical forms by those of theS anskrit, Greekt Latin, Gothic, Old Saxon, Old Friesic, Old Norse, andO ld-H igh German. It is part of the plan to give a full etymological vocabulary. Thus it is supposed that apparatus is provided for as thorough study of a portion of this tongue as can be given toG reek or Latin with our college text-books. In this edition a brief grammar has been introduced, that it may be fitted for general use as an introduction to the study of A nglo-S axon inH igh Schools and Academies where they might fear the Comparative Grammar. The etymological part of the Vocabulary is reserved for a future edition. It was thought best to make sure of the completeness of the list of words by working it over in class before giving it its final shape. The selections were stereotyped, and the book and its plan announced in 1865. F. A. M. JE dston, Pa., June,
