Ebook: A Second Anglo-Saxon Reader. Archaic and Dialectal.

Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1887. —214 p.My First Anglo-Saxon Reader is, for practical reasons, restricted to the West-Saxon dialect. But the other Old English dialects are ofequal:— if not even more — rvalue to the historical student of English. Hence the necessity of a supplementary archaic and dialectal Reader. The primary object
of the present book is, accordingly, to give the student — as far as the often scanty materials will allow — the means of making himself acquainted with the leading features of the non- West-Saxon dialects of Old English.
