Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpts from the PREFACE: IN the preparation of this little manual the editors have had in view several things: first, the supply of new and fresh elementary prose texts for the use of students and teachers desirous of varying the Anglo-Saxon primers and readers now before the public; second, a more complete and practical presentation of working forms in the grammar proper. Along with these items of fresh texts and more detailed grammatical treatment, it seemed appropriate to associate an elementary Syntax and a few Notes, giving explanations and references where these seemed necessary, but leaving to a full Vocabulary more explicit information on particular points.
