Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on Hbrary shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we liave taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe.

Ihrb haa observed that words in Gothic end-
iDsr in L9 often denote something of a cir-
emar form. He mentions, in proof of this,
Aofil^ haily kwirfwet^ a whirlpool^ spindelf a
q^mdLe^ &c^ to. Hagd.
Elsewhere he xemarks, after the Latin philo-
kgists, that this letter has, aliquid blandU
a certain softness in it, for which reason it
is often nsed.
L^ in, onr langna^, is a letter evidently de-
noting diminntion* In this sense it occurs
ill the formation of hagrel, a child ; gangarel^
gamgr^lf a child beginning to walk, q. a little
ganger; hangreUf^.y.
Ihre^ in order to prove that Oothic diminutives
aie formed by this letter, refers to Moes.-0.
mawUo^ a diminutive from matrt, a cirl, bar^
nilOf a little child, from bam ; Su.-O. kyck"
tbngy a chicken^ wtkUng^ an effeminate man.
He remarks the aflSnily of the Lat. in this
respect ; as, in puelba^ euhellus, &c. In
Oemu I is also a mark of diminution ; as,
mammtf homuncio^ from mofi, homo ; t fethj,
Uq^illns, a little stone, from «fetn, lapis*
Qeraugengelny like gangrel^ is a term employed
with respect to infants, who have not learned
the proper use of their feet« Su*-G. ^uzen^
%, denotes one who walks in a tottering
war. y. Ihre, vo. Gunga. From tiiese,
ana a variety of other examples, it would
appear, indeed, that, in the northern
languages, { not only marks diminution, but
forms ttie termination of those words which
express inequality of motioo, or a proneness
to fall; as, E. vBoddU^ viewed as a diminu-
tive from wade^ wriggUf hobble^ Ac, S.

seems uncertain, whether the term Ieid has its origin
from IsL leici-a, to lead, or Germ. M-cn, to depart.
Wechter has observed, that Belg. lyde, and hence
overipd, denote a departors, and metaphorically death ;
oveWcedra, deceeaed. The aaoient Lombards used lido
as simpW signifying death.
The idea
snggMted by the term, as used bv Blind
Harry, is oTÌdently that God receÌTed the soul of the
mother at Wallace into his protection. Aooording to
this Tiew, a oontrsst is stated,, happily enouafa, not
only between her dangerous situation while at Blrisle,
and the gffrik or saactosry she sought at Dunfermline:
but OTen between the latter, and the more secure
sanctuary she obtained with God.

to tha samo nmnnor aa to & ha ia called Jieunard the

deaignation ia immediately from IV. renard^ a fox.
Thia Mena^ dorivaa from niposo, a name p[ivan to tho
fox to Spam and Portugal, from rabo, a tail; aa ho
suppooea that Reynard haa reooivod this deeuiiiation
from the grosaness of hia tail. Bat what afimitv ia

to attend to the prooeis, that tho reader may have
aoma idea of tha paina that aome ot^olqgiata have
taken, aa if mtantionallv, to bring ridionlo on thia im-
portant branch of phitofo^.
Thia woid moat na aabjectod to fivo diitorent trana-
mntationa, before it can decently asaome tho form of
remard. The fox himaelf, with all tha craft aacribed
to him, ooold not anoma ao great a Tariety of ahapes,
aa Menage haa given to hia name. Rapomt ia the ori-

Bot it would be omel to torture Reynard himself

to do anoh violenco to hia name. For thia torm,
