MtDC CCLXVI.t page: 0[View Page 0] ~,1,- no 41A Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1865, by NATHAN BoW N, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the District of NewJersey. Copy-right secured for this work in common Englih and rectided Saxon orthography, HE Publishers of this History owe it to themselves, as well as their Readers, to give a Word of Ex- planation regarding the Dress in which it appears. It was their first Impression that the Work would be nearly unintelligible in the Or- thography of the original Manu- scripts, and they had, therefore, considerable Hesitancy in complying with the Wish- es of their respected Townsman, Mr. C. Cadmus, who insisted with some Warmth that, if printed at all, it should be. without Alteration. He informs us that in the Country of which he writes, the Standard of Orthography has been fixed by a cer- tain learned Society, having the Oversight of such Matters, and he scarcely feels at Liberty to deviate from the Mode of Spelling which they have estab- lished. We found after reading a few Pages of the Work, that it was not so difficult as it at first appeared. The chief Peculiarity seems to be the A / page: iv-5[View Page iv-5] iv accenting of the vowels, a, e, i, o, u, to give them a long Sound, after the Manner of the ancient Saxons, who used the'Accents in such words as wrath,' wste (waste), fri (free), f6r (floor), rdm (room). We perceive, also,, that c stands for ch, as it did among the Saxons, who wrote cild for child, hwilc for which. They likewise employed a single Character, a peculiar Kind of D, to repre- sent the sound of th, and it is a curious Coinci- dence that a similar Letter is here used for the same Purpose. Perhaps we may find in these Circumstances a Clue to the Time and Place in History to which the Events here narrated belong. Mr. Cadmus does not inform us when or where he obtained the Documents used in compiling his Narrative; whether they are of remote Antiquity or recent Date, or what was the Language in which they were originally written. But from his Partiality for the Saxon Orthography, and from Resemblances, here and there, indicating Connec- tion with the Language, Thought and Customs of our early Ancestors, we have a strong Suspi, cion that this singular Record pertains to some Branch of the Saxon Family, and that it is a De- scription of one of those terrific Contests for which that warlike Race has ever been famous. But on this Subject we would not speak positively. We merely throw out the Suggestion for the Consid- eration of the Reader, whom we leave to form his own Conclusions after he has completed the Volume. jatiwflttcahrba.
