Rask Rasmus. A Grammar of the Icelandic Or Old Norse Tongue

Translated from Swedish by Geroge Webbe Dasent. — London: William Pickering; Frankfort O/М.: Jaeger's Library, 1843. — 283 p.This Translation was undertaken to further my own studies in the Old Norse, it has been lately revised, or rather rewritten, and is now offered to the English reader in the hope that it may excite attention toward a language and literature , of vast importance to the English student, but hitherto little understood or valued in England.Before I close I wish to add a few words on my Translation; it is, I hope, a faithful rendering of Rask's more complete Icelandic Grammar, which he published at Stockholm in 1818 under the Title ,,Anvisning till Jslandskan eller Nordiska Fol'nspraket, af Erasmus Chris­tian Rask. Fran Danskan ofversatt och omarbetad afForfattaren."I have been induced to pass over the Author's Preface, partly because the information contained
in it has been already made known to the English reader in the Preface to the Author's Anglo Saxon Grammar, partly because many references , are made in it to works since superseded by the progress of Old Norse Philology. I may mention that the short Praxis appended is of my own selection, and I hope it may prove useful to beginners in the Old Norse.Homburg vor der Bohe,
