Excerpt from The Conditional Sentence in Anglo-Saxon: A Dissertation Presented to the Board of University Studies of Johns Hopkins University Baltimore for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The following investigation is an attempt to write that chapter of anglo-saxon syntax which relates to the conditional sentence, by explaining so far as possible the nature, and by exhibiting all the varieties, of that construction.
With this end in View the writer has stated his con elusions in connected form with only examples enough to illustrate the different points.
But an investigator is bound to present enough of his processes and material, first to give the reader control of the work and second to facilitate further investigation in the same field. It is hoped that these ends have been attained by the somewhat minute division of the subject, and by the appen ded statistics. Thus a body of material is offered sufficiently large to relieve the future writer of an anglo-saxon syntax of the drudgery of collecting examples for this branch of his subject.
