FOOTNOTES: 

[Footnote 1:  More for convenience than for absolute accuracy, the stages of our language have been roughly divided into three:—­

(1) Old English (with Anglo-Saxon) down to the twelfth century.

(2) Middle English, from about the twelfth century to the sixteenth century.

(3) Modern English, from about 1500 to the present time.]
