Excerpt from Lecture on the Study of Anglo-Saxon: Read Before the Vice-Chancellor, and Printed at His Request Mr. Vice-Chancellor, As you did me the honour of requesting that I would print the following Lecture, I have in consequence submitted it to the press, although, I fear, it contains little which will merit your attention, that of the University, or the public. The composition of a detached Lecture must necessarily accommodate itself to the portion of time allotted to its recital: under these circumstances, it was not possible to enter minutely into the details of a subject so extensive and so arduous, as that on which the Lecture treats. I endeavoured in the course of the long vacation to remedy the defect, but I found that the work, if I should allow myself to enter into it as I could wish, would increase to a size which must completely prevent any immediate publication. I have therefore left the discussions nearly as they were originally written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
