All the grammatical information necessary to enable a student to begin reading freely is contained in the first seven chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter includes a reading selection adapted to the advancing capacity of the student, and accompanied by notes explaining those forms which have not yet been presented systematically. In the chapters the primitive and prehistoric Old English sound changes have been explained more fully on a historical and phonetic basis than is usual in such a book as this, partly in order to clarify and rationalize the apparent irregularities of the inflections, and partly in order to acquaint elementary students with the methods and principles of the historical study of language and linguistic change. In the Reference Grammar is given a systematic and ordered treatment of Old English phonology and morphology which serves to bridge the gap between the Elementary Grammar and such standard grammars as those of Cosijn, Sievers, Wright, and Bülbring. It was originally intended to include a considerable body of texts with notes and glossary; but to do this at present would render the cost of the book prohibitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elementary Grammar has been used in mimeographed editions at the Universities of Chicago, Michigan, and Wisconsin, at Northwestern University, and at other universities and colleges. It has been twice re-written, and is now issued with the changes suggested by experience and criticism. Further criticisms and corrections from instructors and students will be welcomed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors hope, not perhaps that their efforts will give wide popularity to the study of Old English, but at least that this book will render that study more purposeful, significant, and attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’m a USA seller, and package items safely and securely with tracking information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAYMENT \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePayment due within 3 days after auctions ends\/buy it now option used.
