Among his other works are: "The Origin of the English, Germanic, and Scandinavian Languages and Nations;" "King Alfred's Anglo-Saxon Version of the Compendious History of the World by Orosius" (1856); and "The Gospels in Gothic of 360, and in Anglo-Saxon of 995, in parallel columns with Wycliffe's Version of 1380, and Tyndale's of 1526 " (1865).
