Excerpt from The Phonological Investigation of Old English: Illustrated by a Series of Fifty Problems
HE study of Old English Phonology, to be truly valuable, must be comparative. Only thus does it become a study of relations, that is, of law. Only thus does the language take its place in a great system, out lined by the founders of Comparative Philology, and elaborated by the patience of their successors. And in no other way can the foundations of English etymology be solidly laid.

Excerpt from The Phonological Investigation of Old English: Illustrated by a Series of Fifty Problems
I have supposed a student desirous of working out the phonology of such a passage in a manner at once independent and systematic. Should he not succeed in every instance, he would not be justified in concluding that the method was necessarily wrong. There are problems which, in the present state of our knowledge, baffle all attempts at solution. But it is advantageous that this class of problems be discriminated from the rest, in order that effort may be concentrated upon them, and they may be forced to yield, as equally forbidding ones have already done.
