Book Description
Excerpt from A M so-Gothic Glossary: With an Introduction, an Outline of M so-Gothic Grammar, and a List of Anglo-Saxon and Old and Modern English Words Etymologically Connected With M so-Gothic The present book was undertaken with the view of providing English students with a useful handbook to the M so-Gothic language, free from the disadvantages which accompany most existing Glossaries of it. These are, for practical purposes, either too small or too large; either they give no references at all, or the page is crowded with references to every passage in which the word occurs. The former of these is a grave defect; the latter arrangement is, philologically, of great value, but makes a book all the more expensive to buy. Besides, the explanations are given in German, and, however improving this may be to the reader, it gives him additional trouble and often leaves him in some uncertainty after all. It is high time, moreover, that Englishmen should have useful philological books written in their own language, to a much greater extent, that is, than is now the case. The publication of Massmann's, Gaugengigl's and Stamm's editions of Ulphilas, and, in England, of Dr. Bosworth's cheap edition of the 'Gothic, Anglo-Saxon, Wycliflfe, and Tyndale's Gospels' renders a good Moeso-Gothic text easily accessible, and this seems to make a small and convenient glossary, in English, the more necessary. The glossary is the only unsatisfactory part of Massmann's excellent book, a fuller notice of which will be given below.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
