An Elementary Old English Grammar (Early West Saxon). By A. J. Wyatt. Cambridge, 1897.
“Old English Grammar has hitherto been taught in three ways, which may be called respectively the Germanic, the Gothic, and the independent methods. Sievers assumes that the student possesses a certain knowledge of Germanic, and makes it the basis of his classifications; Cosijn believes that the ready way to the Old English tongue is to learn Gothic first—a theory not difficult to reduce ad absurdum. Sweet considers such methods as these ‘positively injurious’; he prefers to give the learner a thousand and one isolated facts, and carefully to withhold every clue by which they may be grouped, classified and remembered. The method followed in this work is more or less novel, being a compromise between Sievers and Sweet, an attempt to hit the happy mean; for, while the basis of arrangement has been the practical convenience of the learner in studying the actually existing phenomena of the language, no pains have been spared in order that he may have nothing to unlearn in the further pursuit of the subject.”

A Compendious Anglo-Saxon and English Dictionary. By the Rev. Joseph Bosworth. London: John Russell Smith, 1848.
“In parting with Dr. Bosworth, we cannot but express the delight which we have felt in the candor and sincerity with which his work has been conducted, and we rejoice to perceive that the paltry prejudices and supercilious spirit which have disgraced so many of his brother Saxonists of the present day, have not infected him. The controversy and the ill will between the English and continental school have already continued far too long. It cannot but retard the progress of the language about which they so valorously contend. We hope that his cotemporaries may see the error of their ways from the simplicity and candor of Dr. Bosworth.” ——From a review of the first edition in The New-York Review, October, 1838.
