4430. LANGUAGE (Anglo-Saxon), Study of.—[further continued].

In a letter * * * to
Mr. Crofts who sent * * * me a copy of
his treatise on the English and German languages,
as preliminary to an etymological dictionary
he meditated, I went into explanations
with him of an easy process for simplifying
the study of the Anglo-Saxon, and lessening the
terrors and difficulties presented by its rude
alphabet, and unformed orthography.—
To John Adams. Washington ed. vii, 173.
(M. 1820)
