Note 3 — Chapter II · BEGINNING OF NINETEENTH CENTURY

I have given a life of Rask and an appraisement of his work in the small volume Rasmus Rask (Copenhagen, Gyldendal, 1918). See also Vilh. Thomsen, Samlede afhandlinger, 1. 47 ff. and 125 ff. A good and full account of Rask’s work is found in Raumer, Gesch.; cf. also Paul, Gr. Recent short appreciations of his genius may be read in Trombetti, Come si fa la critica, 1907, p. 41, Meillet, LI, p. 415, Hirt, Idg, pp. 74 and 578.
