Democrat And Sentinel: (Ebensburg, Pa.) March 19, 1856
The Anglo-Saxon is not so much one element of the English language as the foundation
of it, the basis. All its joints, its whole articulation, its sinews and its
ligaments, the great body of articles, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions,
numerals, auxiliary verbs, all its smaller words which serve to knit together and
bind the larger sentences - these, not to speak of the grammatical structure of the
language, are exclusively Saxon. The Latin may contribute its tale of bricks, yea of
goodly and polished hewn stones, to the spiritual building, but the mortar, with all
that holds and binds these together, and constitutes them into a house, is Saxon
throughout. Trench
