same grounds as those on which the Greek Church claims 
to be Catholic, namely : (1) as having retained its organ- 
ization in continuous succession from the earliest Christian 
centuries in accordance with primitive canons ; (2) as re-

countries in which it exists.

high, or Pmeyite section of the church.

or of any Anglican church ; especially, one who 
maintains the Catholic character of the Angli- 
can Church. Hence the term has been applied espe-

such as Laud, Andrews, Cosin, and Jeremy Taylor, and in 
the present century to the adherents of the Oxford move- 
ment, such as Rose, William Palmer, 3. H. Newman, Ke-

quently occurs in the charters of Alfred and 
his successors (chiefly in the gen. pi. with rex) 
as the general name of their people, all the 
Teutonic tribes in England ; but it is sometimes 
confined to the people south of the Humber. 
The same term is used by foreign chroniclers 
and writers in Latin from the 8th to the 12th 
century, in the same meaning as by Alfred. In 
the Latin charters the gen. pi. varies from An- 
glosaxomim (besides Anglorum Saxonum and 
Anglorum et Saxonum) through the half AS. 
Angulsaxonvm to the wholly AS. Anguteaxna, 
the AS. forms (in the Anglo-Saxon charters) 
being Angulsaxna, -saxona, -seaxna, -saixna, -sex- 
na, and Ongulsaxna, gen. pi. of *Angulseaxan

the country is sometimes called Anglosaxonia or 
Angulsaxonia, as well as Saxonia. The ML. An- 
glosaxonett is a true compound, following such 
forms as L. Syrophcenix, < Gr. 2t>/>o0o<v<f, a Syro-

I. n. 1. (o) Literally, one of the Angle or ' Eng- 
lish' Saxons; sometimes restricted to the Sax- 
ons who dwelt chiefly in the southern districts 
(Wessex, Essex, Sussex, Middlesex names 
which contain a form of Saxon and Kent) of 
the country which came to be known, from a 
kindred tribe, as the land of the Angles, Engla 
land, now England, but usually extended to the 
whole people or nation formed by the aggre- 
gation of the Angles, Saxons, and other early 
Teutonic settlers in Britain, or the whole people 
of England before the conquest, (b) pi. The 
English race ; all persons in Great Britain and 
Ireland, in the United States, and in their de- 
pendencies, who belong, actually or nominally, 
nearly or remotely, to the Teutonic stock of 
England ; in the widest use, all English-speak- 
ing or English-appearing people. 2. [The adj. 
used absolutely.] The language of the Anglo- 
Saxons ; Saxon ; the earliest form of the Eng- 
lish language, constituting, with Old Saxon, 
Old Friesic, and other dialects, the Old Low 
German group, belonging to the so-called West 
Germanic division of the Teutonic speech. The 
first Anglo-Saxon dialect to receive literary cultivation 
was that of the Angles (Anglo-Saxon ^tingle, Engle) : hence 
the name Englisc, Englisc, that is, Anglish, was after- 
ward applied to all the dialects, and particularly to the 
prevailing one, West Saxon ; it is the origin of the name 
English as applied to the modem mixed language. (See 
Anglish and English.) A Middle Latin name for the lan- 
guage was lingua Saxonica, or lingua Saxonum or Anglo- 
mxomtm. The Anglo-Saxon language, in the widest use of 
the name, consisted of several dialects : the Northern or 
Anglian group, including the Old Northumbrian and the 
Midland or Mercian dialects, and the Southern or Saxon 
group, including the West Saxon and the Kentish. The 
Kentish remains are scanty, the Mercian scantier still and 
doubtful, while the Old Northumbrian remains are con- 
siderable. The great bulk of the Anglo-Saxon literature 
is West Saxon, the two terms being practically synony- 
mous except when expressly distinguished as generic and 
specific. In the Old or Middle English period the Mid- 
land dialect became conspicuous, and it is to it that the 
form of modern English is chiefly due. In this dictionary 
Anglo-Saxon (abbreviated AS.) includes the whole lan- 
guage (but chiefly West Saxon, the Old Northumbrian and 
Kentish being discriminated when necessary) from the 
middle of the fifth century, or rather from the seventh cen- 
tury, when the first contemporary records begin, to the 
middle or end of the twelfth century ; the language from 
the conquest (1086) to the end of this period being ' late 
Anglo-Saxon.' See English. 
Several of the English scholars who are most active in 
the study of early English wage war on Anglo-Saxon. 
They attack the word. . . . They are still more hostile to 
the suggestion which goes with the word, that the speech 
called Anglo-Saxon is different from modern English, so as 
to deserve a separate name. They say there has Iwen but 
one speech spoken in England by the Teutonic tribes and 
their descendants from Csedmon to Tennyson. . . . This 
classic Anglo-Saxon differs from our English in phonology, 
... in vocabulary, . . . (in] inflections, ... in the deri- 
vation of words, . . . [in] syntax, . . . [in] verification (see 
alliteration], . . . [and in] the modes of thought. . . . The 
former is a synthetic German speech, with its own periods 
of early irregular idiom, classic cultivation, decline and fall 
into dialects ; the latter an analytic mixed speech of Ro- 
manic cultivation, with other periods of growth, and classic 
regularity and progress. And a chaos separates the two 
languages. It is only when attention is directed to the 
history of etymological forms that unity can be plausibly 
claimed for them. . . . But while the importance of these 
forms in tracing the descent of languages is probably not 
overrated, their weight in establishing identity or simi- 
larity may easily be. . . . The proposed use of Old English 
[in place of Anglo-Saxon] does not distinguish, but con- 
founds all the periods of Anglo-Saxon and the two early 
periods of English. . . . The reasons urged for this no- 
menclature are in great part sentimental. It is thought 
to magnify the English language and race to represent
