Excerpt from King Alfred's Anglo-Saxon Version of Boethius De Consolatione Philosophiæ With an English Translation, and Notes The present edition is founded on Mr. Rawlinson's, but with such alterations as, it is hoped, will render it more acceptable to the anglo-saxon student. The readings taken from the Cotton ms. Have been carefully examined, and in numerous instances introduced into the text. By this means difliculties are removed.
