Amen.
Another discovery was the assignment of a correct description to the glosses found in a document known as the _Vespasian Psalter_; so called because it is an early Latin Psalter, or book of Psalms, contained in a Cotton MS.

in the British Museum, marked with the class-mark "Vespasian, A.1." This Psalter is accompanied throughout with glosses which were at first mistakenly thought to be in a Northumbrian dialect, and were published as such by the Surtees Society in 1843.

They were next, in 1875, wrongly supposed to be Kentish; but since they were printed by Sweet in 1885 it has been shown that they are really Mercian.

This set of glosses is very important for the study of Old Mercian, because they are rather extensive; they occupy 213 pages of the _Oldest English Texts_, and are followed by 20 more pages of similar glosses to certain Latin canticles and hymns that occur in the same MS.
There are also a few Charters extant in the Mercian dialect, but the earliest contain little else than old forms of the names of persons and places.

There are, however, some later Charters, from 836 to 1058 in the Mercian dialect, which contain some boundaries of lands and afford other information.
