Présentation de l'éditeur
The A nglo-S axon language lias l)cen studied at Lafayette College for many years in the light of modern pliilulogy. It seemed necessary to print, for the use of its students, general laws of })honology and syntax, with tables of analogous })aradigms, prefixes, suffixes, and idioms.
