About this book
Anglo-Saxon Primer, With Grammar, Notes, and Glossary by Henry Sweet is presented in the preface as a strictly elementary introduction to the study of Old-English. The contents list grammar, texts, notes, and a glossary as the book's divisions. The grammar calls the oldest stage of English before the Norman Conquest Old English and restricts the book to the earliest form of the West-Saxon dialect.
The treatment of vowels compares their values with Latin and explains the marking of long vowels. The vowel examples come with key-words from English, French, and German to accompany the examples of elementary vowels and diphthongs.
