Excerpt from Studies in Old English In tracing the historical development of English sounds I have made more use of the Psalter and the early North umbrian texts than of the Glossaries, because the evidence of the latter is of a very complicated character, modernised or semi-modernised forms often appearing side by side with others of a much more archaic character. This inconsistency is doubtless due to the in¿uence of older texts, the forms of which have sometimes been faithfully copied by the scribe but more frequently have been brought either partly or wholly into conformity with the orthographical usage of his day.
