Excerpt from A Grammar of the Anglo-Saxon Language
If we are partly led to the study of the Latin and Greek languages from the' light which they throw upon the structure of our own, the anglo-saxon, for the same reason, has claims upon us almost equally great, forming, as it does, the broad basis upon which the others rest. So true is this, that it can be safely affirmed that no one has a thorough knowledge of English, who is unacquainted with an element of so much importance.
