Excerpt from Handbook of the History of the English Language for the Use of Teacher and Student In later works, however, Dr. Morris gives up the point, and quietly returns to the use of the really indispensable terms Saxon and anglo-saxon.

In the same poem, and probably for the first time in an English text, Angle occurs under the forms Ongle and Eagle four times O 'a weold Ongle 5 mid englum ic wees, &c.
