ing a glossary of Anglo-Indian Colloquial Words and Phrases (Lond., 1886).

Pp. 93 ff. The Latin contingent in Anglo-Saxon has been studied by A. Pogatscher in a very distinguished monograph: Zur Lautlehre der griechischen, lateinischen und romanischen Lehnworte im Altenglischen (Strassburg, 1888), Quellen und Forschungen, No. 64. See also Sievers, Zum angelsächsischen Vocalismus (Leipzig, 1900), where different grades of 'popularity' in words are discriminated with great subtlety.

P. 107. For Old Norse words in English, see Kluge in Paul's Grundriss der germanischen Philologie, I, 785 ff.; Skeat, Principles of English Etymology, I, 453 ff.; E. Björkman, Scandinavian Loan-Words in Middle English (Halle, 1900).

Pp. 108-9. On these miscellaneous borrowings, see Skeat's Principles of English Etymology, II, 342 ff., and compare the lists in the revised edition of the same scholar's Concise Etymological Dictionary (Oxford, 1901).

P. 114, note. See also Kellner, Abwechslung und Tautologie zwei Eigenthümlichkeiten des alt- und mittelenglischen Stiles, in Englische Studien, XX, 1 ff. (1894).

P. 123. Romantic revival. See W. L. Phelps, The Beginnings of the English Romantic Movement (Boston, 1893).

Pp. 183-4. On decay of inflection as an improvement, see O. Jespersen, Progress in Language, with Especial Reference to English (Lond., 1894).

Pp. 185 ff. For details with regard to prefixes and suffixes, see Haldeman, Affixes in their Origin and Application (Phila., 1871); Skeat, Principles of English Etymology; Sweet, New English Grammar, Pt. I (Oxford, 1892).

P. 219. On the conventional character of words, see especially Whitney's Language and the Study of Language.

Pp. 219 ff. On semasiology or 'the science of meanings,' see A. Darmesteter, La Vie des Mots, 2d ed. (Paris, 1887), and M. Bréal, Essai de Sémantique (Paris, 1897). Bréal's book has been translated by Mrs. Henry Cust, Semantics, Studies in the Science of Meaning (Lond., 1900). Cf. also Hey, Die Semasiologie, in Archiv für lateinische Lexicographie, IX, 193 ff.
