Excerpt from Outlines of the History of the English Language
In the following pages an attempt is made to give some idea of the conditions under which language-material was gradually accumulated, was sifted and shaped, before the result was attained which we see in the present speech of England. It is an attempt to give such a representation of a very complicated subject as is possible by tracing merely its outlines. These, however, if they are properly distinguished, may at least suggest the claims to consideration which the subject can make, claims that can be properly appreciated only when the outlines are filled in. And surely one such claim is that the study of English affords the opportunity for a varied mental training. For to realise the language of a people at any time in their history would be to realise their life at that time; it is in their words that their thoughts remain embodied, and really to understand their words we must feel as they felt.
