I.

A Grammar of the Anglo-Saxon Language. By Louis F. Klipstein, AA.LL.M. and PH.D., of the University of Giessen.

⁂ This work recommends itself particularly to the attention of every American student who “glories in his Anglo-Saxon descent” or Teutonic lineage, as well as of all who desire an acquaintance with a language which lies as the foundation of the English, and throws a light upon its elements and structure, derivable from no other source. Of the importance and interesting nature of the study there can be no doubt, and we agree with those who think that the time is coming when it will be considered “utterly disgraceful for any well-bred Englishman or American” to have neglected it. With regard to the merits of Dr. Klipstein’s Grammar, we will only say, that it has been already adopted as a text-book in some of the leading Institutions of our country.
