Excerpt from A Dissertation on the History and Development of the English Verb

The prizes consisted of certain valuable publications of the Society. But one subject was given to the classes - The History and Development of the English Verb - and the first prize was awarded, without a question as to its superior merit, to the author of this Dissertation; and it was on my testi mony to its value as a contribution to the study of the English language, that his friend, Dr. J. C. Rodrigues, editor of O Novo Mundo, in new-york City, to whom he is indebted for his education at The Cornell University, generously offered to print it at his own expense.

It may not be considered out of place to state, that Mr. Schwerdtfeger entered the University at the beginning of the winter term of 1873-74, he not being of the required age, six teen years, to enter at the beginning of the year. His studies in English philology have all been pursued since his admis sion to the University. He learned, during the winter term. To read the anglo-saxon with perfect ease, and in addition to what was read in class, during the winter and spring terms.
