are rarely or frequently to be found. Constructions for which statistics seemed of value have been indexed. LIST OF OLD ENGLISH PROSE TEXTS EXAMINED. It is essential to the purpose of this study that all important Old English prose texts available be taken into account. For the sake of clearness I have therefore included in my list of texts those which proved to contain no concessive constructions. In citing from editions which present parallel manuscripts of the same work, I have in each case quoted from the preferred manuscript. If reference to another has become necessary, I have named the manuscript cited. It has seemed expedient also, while copying the texts faithfully in other particulars, to repunctuate many passages, in order to indicate the interpretation given them. Citations are by page and line, following the system of line-numbering found in the edition used, if there be any. Biblical passages, however, are of course cited by chapter and verse, and the Apothegms by number. References are to the line in which the word or construction under consideration appears.
