A History Of English Sounds From The Earliest Period: With Full Word-Lists (Cambridge Library Collection - Linguistics)

Henry Sweet's work on the sounds of English was first published in 1874, and in this revised version in 1888. Originally intended as a monograph on two sounds only, it ended up as a much broader book, including an investigation of dialects and medieval and modern English sounds.
