Présentation de l'éditeur
English scholar ought to have some scholarly knowledge of the English 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 the Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Gothic, Old Saxon, Old Friesic, Old Norse, and Old-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 to Greek 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 in High 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. Easton, Pa., June,

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the impact of Anglo-Saxon culture and language on modern English as we know it, with thoughtful examination of grammar structures and literary benchmarks. The author traces the evolution of the language from its origins in the Anglo-Saxon tongue, connecting it to the rise of Old English and Middle English and the influence of writers like Geoffrey Chaucer and William Caxton. As the book explores these developments, it unravels the rich tapestry of Anglo-Saxon vocabulary, revealing how a significant portion of our everyday English vocabulary can be traced back to this ancient Germanic language. By venturing into the nuances of grammar and syntax, the book provides a solid understanding of Anglo-Saxon's enduring legacy and its influence on the way we communicate today.
