Présentation de l'éditeur :
My former volume, entitled Principles of English Etymology, First Series, was published in 1887, and dealt mainly with The Native Element in English. In that volume I endeavoured to explain the principal phonetic changes that have taken place in the pronunciation of English since A nglo-S axon times, and to discuss the etymologies of a large number of native English words. It was also convenient to consider, at the same time, such Latin and Greek words as found their way into Anglo Saxon ;words from Scandinavian sources; the comparatively slight Celtic element (exclusive of such words as came to us through the medium of French); and the Teutonic element generally (but again excluding such as came to us through the same medium). The present companion volume to the former treats solely of what may well be called The Foreign Element in our language ;although here again it is not possible to use the word foreign in any very exact sense. For I have shown below (in 13, c.) that the highly important A nglo-F rench element is, for all practical purposes, as necessary a part of our language as the native English element of A nglo-S axon origin. But it is obvious that, for the purpose of clearly explaining the etymology of English words, it must be dealt with separately; and I have therefore endeavoured to deal with it here.
