Thanks Thomas,
Chapters 1 and 4 give a 404, Not found.
To be honest Early English is a bit of a black hole to me. The earliest 
I can read is Chaucer's Middle English.
I could read or at least get the meaning of Modern Dutch on posters and 
adverts. Quite hand when travelling by train, I might add.
