520 _a"Anglo-Saxon Grammar and Exercise Book" by C. Alphonso Smith is a foundational instructional text on the grammar of Old English, written in the late 19th century. This guide aims to assist beginners in understanding the language of King Alfred and serves as an introduction to the structure of English, bridging concepts from Old English to modern grammar. The text covers essential grammatical elements, including inflections, syntax, and vocabulary, while incorporating reading selections from notable works of Early West Saxon literature. The opening portion of the book begins with a preface by the author, outlining the intended scope and purpose of the work, which is designed for newcomers to Anglo-Saxon language study. It emphasizes the importance of understanding Old English as a foundation for modern English and details the organization of the book into sections covering history, sounds, inflections, and etymology. The initial chapters discuss the evolution of the English language, highlighting the transition from Old English to Middle and Modern English, as well as the fundamental vowel and consonant sounds in Old English. The text is structured to not only provide theoretical knowledge but also includes exercises and reading selections to reinforce learning and practical application.
