Excerpt from An Anglo-Saxon Reader: With Philological Notes, a Brief Grammar, and a Vocabulary
IT seems to be agreed that every English scholar ought to have some scholarly knowledge of the English language. Then every English scholar ought to study anglo-saxon. He ought to read representative passages in representative books of the literature thoroughly, dwelling on them line by line, and word by word, and making the text the foundation of general philological study. At least a daily lesson for one term ought to be given to this study in each of our colleges.
