Excerpt from Principles of English Etymology, Vol. 1: The Native Element I have found it advisable to follow the example of Mr. Sweet, in his History of English Sounds, and to consider what may be called the native element' of our language apart from the Romance or imported element. Hence I have purposely excluded all words of French origin from the present investigation. A few French words are quoted here and there by way of illustration, but no inferences are here drawn from the results which their history furnishes. If the present volume should meet with approval, I propose to issue another volume, to be entitled Second Series, ' which will deal particularly, and almost exclusively, with the words which have been imported into English from French, as well as from Latin, Greek, and other languages (except Teutonic and Celtic) after the Norman Conquest.
