«preface*
The eluciuation of language, and the improvement of lexico-
investigations that have occupiedgraphy, are t!ie attention,
and engaged the pens of many men distinguislietl for talents
and learning.
First impressions, and early associations, are difRcidt to re-
move. In our youth we are instructed to regard the Greeks
as greatest,and the Romans the the wisest, and the most
polished of Nations and to associate with the name of
; Goths
is ignorant, barbarous,every thing that and savage. To Gothic
ancestors, however, it should be remembered, we are indebted
existence, our language, and perhapsfor our a i)art the most—
valuable—of our laws. We should also recollect that, when
these inunense hordes forsook their native forests, and settled
in the countries they subdued, the freedom of the individual
was resjiected and supported. The authority he acknow-
ledged, and the subordination he yielded, were not the will
of a tyrant, or aggrandizement of chief; bill the voice ofthe a

:the nation at large, of which every member was a part —
system, though deficient in the elegancies of art, the researches
of science, or the ingenious labours of industry, was still
founded friendship benevolence,in and in protection and gra-
titude. That there is an extensive, and much more intimate
connexion than could have been imagined, between the lan-
guage of the Goths, and that which was first spoken by the
Greeks, and afterwards by the inhabitants of Italy, has been
satisfactorily the Hermesproved in Scythicus of the author's
friend Dr. Jamieson, a writer possessed of an accurate know-
ledge of the different Gothic dialects.
Amidst the contradiction, error, and conflision that prevail,
not only in regard to the peopling of Great Britain but of
early literary history in greatEurope—involving obscurity
it is difficult to draw any authentic conclusions, from which to
be enabled satisfactorily to trace the establishment of our pre-
sent mixed language, and the means and gradations through
or by which it was accomplished. The pure Saxon style
predominated, became greatlyadulteratedwhich at one period
partly by the barbarity and ignorance of the inhabitants, and
partly the sanguinary conflicts with the Danes people,by ; a
who, though of kindred origin, and using a dialect derived
from the same Northern source, were much inferior in civi-
Saxons. Harassed by these Danish incursions,lization to the
and often driven from their habitations, the people neglected
leui'ning, of language of their enemies graduallyand a part the
