Prefatory Note.

I am indebted for the subject treated in the following pages to suggestions made in a course on the history of the French language at the University of Chicago. I desire therefore first of all to express my sincere gratitude for the encouragement of Professor T. A. Jenkins, whose advice has been of inestimable value in the preparation of the dissertation.
