Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Excerpt from Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, Vol. 1: Selections, in Prose and Verse, From the Anglo-Saxon Literature; With an Introductory Ethnological Essay, and Notes, Critical and Explanatory
I n the preliminary E-ay a cursory ethnographical review has been taken of the ancient and modern nations of Europe, drawn out upon philological principles, which, it is trusted, will not be unacceptable to the student, while some of the facts that it sets forth will have a tendency to correct many erroneous opinions imbibed from our com mon histories and other works. The dificulty has been in giving an epitome of what is a subject for volumes. Some slight changes have been ventured upon in the orthography of a few proper names for the sake of derivation, and to exhibit analogies. Philology, indeed, re quires that such amendments should become general. It is absurd that either ancient, or other forms should be allowed in our language, as modified by their passage through a second, and, in many ia stances, also through a third tongue.
The specimen of norman-french introduced from the Laws of William the Conqueror, as an appendix to the text, will be suficient to exemplify that language, which coming in collision with the Anglo Saxon, was eventually obliged to yield to its stronger adversary, but not without leaving traces of its inroad in the subsequent speech of Great Britain.
The copious Glouary designed for these volumes, in addition to its particular object, the elucidation of the anglo-saxon tongue, will afl'ord a good point of view for the philologist in the comparative study of the indo-germanic languages, at the same time that it throws light upon the history of others. The original intention of uniting it with them could not be carried out, on account of the unexpected size of both works.

Louis Frederick Klipstein was an American philologist.
Background
Louis Frederick Klipstein was born on January 02, 1813 at Winchester, Virginia, United States, the son of Peter and Frances (Kimmelmyer) Klipstein. His mother came from Baltimore. His father, who is described as a "gentleman of leisure, " was a son of Philipp Klipstein, born in 1751 at Darmstadt, Grand Duchy of Hesse, who came to America as a surgeon with a regiment of Hessian troops and settled at Winchester after the close of the Revolution.
Education
Klipstein graduated in 1832 from Hampden-Sydney College and was enrolled in 1832-1835 as a student at Union Theological Seminary, later at Richmond but then located at Hampden-Sydney. He was absent on leave, however, from December 1833 to November 1834 to teach in a school at Charlottesville. While there he could hardly fail to meet Prof. George Blettermann of the University of Virginia, who was prepared to give instruction in Anglo-Saxon; it is possible, therefore, that Klipstein's interest in the language began at this time. He was licensed October 17, 1835, by the Winchester Presbytery.
Career
Klipstein went to South Carolina in 1839 and secured a position of some sort as tutor or teacher. On October 3, 1840, he was dropped from the rolls of the Presbytery for having gone over to the New School, and in 1842 he became a candidate for orders in the Episcopal Church. In April 1844 the Southern Literary Messenger announced that Klipstein had started at Charleston a periodical, the Polyglot, devoted to the study of French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and English. The Polyglot was soon abandoned, but its editor salvaged its contents for republication in his first book, The Study of Modern Languages. On September 10, 1845, the University of Giessen conferred on him, in absentia, the degree of Ph. D. , ostensibly in recognition of his work in Anglo-Saxon but actually, it would appear, as the result of pressure exerted by his distant cousin, August von Klipstein, professor of mineralogy in the university.
As yet none of his works on Anglo-Saxon had been published, and the university authorities had not even received proof sheets. It is a curious fact, too, that the university library, in 1927, was still without a copy of any of his books. He was employed about this time as tutor in the household of Mrs. Rebecca Jerman in the upper part of St. James's Parish, Santee, South Carolina. His sister Cornelia, who had come with him to South Carolina, married Edward Dupre Jerman. Having thus come into money, Klipstein thought himself able to realize his ambition to publish a series of textbooks on Anglo-Saxon. He issued, through the firm of George P. Putnam in New York, A Grammar of the Anglo-Saxon Language, which went into two editions in 1848, was revised and enlarged in 1849, and reprinted in 1853, 1857, and 1859; a reprint of Benjamin Thorpe's Tha Halgan Godspel on Englisc (1848); Natale Sancti Gregorii Papae: Aelfric's Anglo-Saxon Homily on the Birthday of St. Gregory (1848), which he dedicated to the Reverend Samuel Gilman; and Analecta Anglo-Saxonica: Selections in Prose and Verse from the Anglo-Saxon Literature (2 vols. , 1849). In addition he announced that he was preparing "A Glossary to the Analecta Anglo-Saxonica"; "The Anglo-Saxon Paraphrase of the Book of Psalms"; "Anglo-Saxon Metrical Legends".
Klipstein drew heavily, but with proper acknowledgment, on the work of Kemble, Thorpe, Wright, Bosworth, Rask, and Ebeling, and took his texts from them, but he displayed a good deal of independence in regularizing spelling and inflectional endings. Apparently he counted on the proceeds from the sales of his first books to pay for the later ones, but in this expectation he was disappointed cruelly. Losses on his books cut into his wife's inheritance and led to a family quarrel. Overworked, disillusioned, unhappy, he took to drinking heavily, left home, and lived among Negroes. Finally his wife sold her plantation on Hog Island, across the Cooper River from Charleston, and removed to Florida, where she died in 1897. Klipstein, destitute and disreputable, haunted Charleston and its vicinity for many years. In 1878 he was begging for food on the streets of the city, and that same year he wandered to Florida, perhaps in search of his wife, and died there.
Achievements
Louis Frederick Klipstein was the first American to publish works on Anglo-Saxon. His fame is rested mainly on his book "Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, Selections, in Prose and Verse, From the Anglo-Saxon Literature" (1849).
