A Neglected Fact In English History (1864)

By Henry Charles Coote

Book Overview

A Neglected Fact In English History is a book written by Henry Charles Coote and first published in 1864. The book delves into a lesser-known aspect of English history, namely the role played by the Anglo-Saxons in the development of the English language. Coote argues that the Anglo-Saxons were instrumental in shaping the English language, and that their contribution has been largely overlooked by historians.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Anglo-Saxon influence on the English language. Coote begins by discussing the origins of the Anglo-Saxons and their migration to England, and goes on to examine their language and its impact on English.Coote argues that the Anglo-Saxons introduced many words and phrases into English, and that their grammar and syntax also had a significant influence on the language. He provides numerous examples to support his argument, and also discusses the ways in which the Anglo-Saxon language influenced other aspects of English culture, such as literature and law.Overall, A Neglected Fact In English History is an important work of scholarship that sheds new light on the development of the English language. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of English or the Anglo-Saxon period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
