Page l - William's laws even were issued in French. A fragment of the Saxon Chronicle, published by Lye, concluding with the year 1079, is still in pretty correct Anglo-Saxon; but in the continuation of the same Chronicle, from 1135 to 1140, almost all the... Page 191 - A Saxon Treatise concerning the Old and New Testament, written about the time of King Edgar (700 yeares agoe) by /Elfricus Abbas : now first published with the English of our times, by William LISLE. Page xi - That the Angles were a Teutonic race is not only probable, but almost certain, from the fact, that the dialect of these invaders so soon coalesced into one common tongue, and assumed a character so decidedly Teutonic, that, with the exception of a few Normanisms, introduced in later times, there is scarcely a vestige deserving notice of the old Scandinavian, or of Danish structure, to be found in Anglo-Saxon ; so that in this respect, even the Old-Saxon bears a stronger resemblance to the Scandinavian...

Page xlix - We have here an ancient, fixed, and regular tongue, which during a space of 500 years preserved itself almost without change ; for King Ethelbert adopted Christianity about 593 or 596, and his laws, which we may refer to about the year 600, are perhaps the oldest extant in Anglo-Saxon. In the year 1066, William the... Page liv - A work highly deserving of mention in this place, which, although eclipsed by the larger and more splendid Lexicon of Lye, bears honourable witness to the learning and industry of its author. The Grammar of Aelfric is a relic, curious in itself, and valuable to the student. Page 43 - The former is used when the adjective is preceded by the definite article, by any other demonstrative, or by a possessive pronoun ; the latter in all other cases. Page vii - The Anglo-Saxon literature," says Professor Rask, " possesses, in many respects, even for its own sake, no small degree of interest. The numerous ancient laws throw considerable light upon the laws of the old Germans and Scandinavians, as well as upon their customs and civil... Page l - Chronicle, from 1 135 to 1 140, almost all the inflexions of ihe language are either changed or neglected, as well as the orthography, and most of the old phrases and idioms. We may, therefore, fix the year 1100, as the limit of the Anglo-Saxon tongue. The confusion, which prevailed after 1100 belongs to the old English period.* The Saxon tongue was at length so altered and corrupted as to become nearly useless.
