About This Book
From the Preface...
THIS work first appeared in the Transactions of the Philological Society for 1873-4. Additional copies were struck off for the members of the Dialect Society. I also put a few hundred copies into the hands of Mr. Trübner, so as to make the work accessible to the general public; these have long since been sold out.
My investigations were due to the combined influence of Bell's Visible Speech, Ellis's Early English Pronunciation, and the German school of comparative and historical philology, of which Grimm's Deutsche Grammatlk was to me still the chief exponent.
