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.

II.
Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, with an Introductory Ethnographical Essay,
Copious Notes, Critical and Explanatory, and a Glossary in which are
shown the Indo-Germanic and other Affinities of the Language. _By the
same._
In this work appear the fruits of considerable research, and, we may
add, learning. The Ethnology of Europe is succinctly, but clearly
illustrated, the Anglo-Saxon language completely analysed, revealing the
utmost harmony of combination from its elements, its forms and roots
compared with those in kindred dialects and cognate tongues, its
position in the Teutonic family and Indo-Germanic range established, and
the genuine relation of the English to its great parent properly set
forth. To those who are fond of the comparative study of language, the
Glossary will prove an invaluable aid, apart from its particular object.
