A nglo-S axon Grammar of its Latin incumbrances, and to offer one formed on the true genius and structure of the language in the publication ofT tie Elements of the A nglo-S axon Grammar with copious Notes, 8vo. 1823, pp. 330. Before committing this work to the press every accessible source of information was explored, and a complete English Translation made of A ngelsaksisk Sproglcere ved R. K. Rask, 8vo. Stockholm, 1817. In 1826, the most practical part ofT he Elements with such corrections and additions as naturally arose from a farther consideration of the subject, appeared with the title of AC ompendious Grammar of the primitive English or A nglo-S axon Language, 8vo. pp. 84. The following Essentials are given as the result of a still longer and closer investigation of the language in the preparation of the AngloS axon Dictionary, and a continued appeal to the grammar of a lamented friend, the late Professor Rask, and to the learned Deutsche Grammatik of Professor Grimm. It will be seen that, as information has increased, there has been a gradual approximation, in grammatical forms and accents, to the views of Professor Rask and Grimm. While there is a hope that these Essentials, referring only toE tymology, may be found the most simple and practical, a very short abstract is given of Professor Rask and Grimm sG rammars for the use of those who prefer, what may be considered the more complete systems of these celebrated men.
