Excerpt from Anglo-Saxon Reader: Edited, With Notes and GlossaryMost of the selected texts, it will be observed, are such as have been employed, either wholly or in part, in other anglo-saxon Readers. In the case of some of them, exclu sion from an introductory course would be welcome to few teachers; in the case of others, the choice cannot be expected to please all.
