Excerpt from Greeks and Goths: A Study on the Runes When this book was ready for the press I accidentally discovered that Rask, the greatest of Scandinavian scholars, believed that the view which I have advocated would ultimately prove to be the true solution of the problem of the Runes. I do not find, however, that he ever worked out the details of the theory or even formally propound'ed it. I have included in the volume a subsidiary investigation into the Origin of the Oghams, which are intimately connected with the Runes.
