Synopsis

Excerpt from Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, Selections, in Prose and Verse, From the Anglo-Saxon Literature

In the preliminary Essay a cursory ethnographical review has been taken of the ancient and modern nations of Europe, drawn out upon philological principles, which, it is trusted, will not be unacceptable to the student, while some of the facts that it sets forth will have a tendency to correct many erroneous opinions imbibed from our com mon histories and other works. The difficulty has been in giving an epitome of what is a subject for volumes. Some slight changes have been ventured upon in the orthography of a few proper names for the sake of derivation, and to exhibit analogies. Philology, indeed, re quires that such amendments should become general. It is absurd that either ancient, or other forms should be allowed in our language, as modified by their passage through a second, and, in many ia stances, also through a third tongue.
