An Introduction to the Study of the Anglo-Saxon Language: Comprising an Elementary Grammar - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
This book has been prepared to serve as an introduction to the study of A nglo-S axon; it makes no claim to originality, but only aims to present in an elementary form the well-understood principles of A nglo-S axon grammar. It is designed rather to prepare the way for more advanced works on the subject, like those of Dr. March, than to supersede or come into competition with them. From its great age, its wonderful continuity of development, and the opportunity afforded for illustration by kindred dialects, the A nglo-S axon offers a tempting field to the student of Comparative Philology, and one which will amply repay any toil that may be bestowed upon it; but in order that the student may advantageously cultivate this field, a certain amount of preparation is indispensable; which preparation it is the aim of this book to afford. The extracts for reading have been selected so as to gradually increase in difficulty. Beginning with ideas which are familiar, the student passes to those which are less readily apprehended, and then to selections which require more labor on his part.
