The material in the foregoing chapters has been presented with a view to advancing our knowledge of comparison in Germanic and particularly in English. It therefore seems desirable to sum up briefly those points in grammar that have been the subject of demonstration, or that may be said to be better understood because of the light thrown upon them i1n the course of the present study. This investigation was begun solely through a kind of intellectual curiosity aroused in the course of a previous study, and so there is no thesis to defend or hypothesis to justify.
A Sun, study studied this question.
