Excerpt from The Genitive Case in Anglo-Saxon Poetry: Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

The following study of the Genitive was completed in May, 1897, when it was accepted as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Johns Hopkins University. It was then my intention to extend the investigation through the entire literature and consider the anglo-saxon genitive from the point of view of Comparative Grammar. This expectation and my inability to find time to fulfill it, delayed publication so long that I have determined forthwith to present the results of my former study. Many inequalities and a lack of finality in treatment are thus accounted for, although the citations are approximately complete and it is hoped that few omissions will be noted. Chapters III and IV are noticeably fragmentary, but it seemed best to include what material I had rather than omit it altogether. My original work has been to some extent revised, and the results of recently published investigations are incorporated.
