alphabets appear _mixed_, or rather are used alternately.]

of Documents prepared by P. von Koeppen: _Sobranie Slovenzki

[Footnote 19: This remarkable manuscript was not known until 1738,
when it was discovered in the chronicles of Novogorod. It has since
been published in six different editions, the first prepared by
Schloezer, 1767; the last by the Polish scholar Rakowiecky, enriched
with remarks and illustrations. See note 10, above.]

farther back than A.D. 1294.]

[Footnote 22: According to Vostokof, the dialects of all the Slavic
nations deviated not only much less from each other at the time of
Cyril's translation than they now do; but were even in the middle of
the eleventh century still so similar, that the different nations were
able to understand each other, about as well as the present
inhabitants of the different provinces of Russia understand each
other. The difference of the Slavic dialects was then almost
exclusively limited to the lexical part of the language; the
grammatical varieties, which exist among them at the present day, had
not then arisen. The principal features which distinguish the Russian
of the present day from the Old Slavic, are exhibited in an article
_on Russian Literature_ in the Foreign Quarterly Review, Vol. I. p.
602.]

[Footnote 23: We learn that P. von Koeppen several years ago discovered
a Slavic work printed in 1475; but being unacquainted with the
details, we are unable to give a particular notice of it.]
