Sinossi
Excerpt from A Guide to the Anglo-Saxon Tongue: A Grammar After Erasmus Rask; Extracts in Prose and Verse
Anglo-saxon was spoken by our forefathers in Eng land for more than five hundred years; from it have sprung the greater part of our local and family names, very many of our old, and almost all our provincial words and sayings, and fifteen twentieths of what we daily think, and speak, and write. NO Englishman therefore altogether ignorant of anglo-saxon can have a thorough knowledge of his own mother tongue, while the language itself, to say nothing of the many valuable and interesting works preserved in it, may in Oopiousness of words, strength of expression, and grammatical precision, vie with modern German.* The present object is to furnish the learner, if it may be, with a cheaper, easier, more comprehensive, and not less trustworthy guide to this tongue than may hitherto: have been within his reach.
