In the article it says that Barnes proposed that " the word "photograph" (<Gk. light+writing) would become "sun-print" (<Saxon)." "Print" is ultimately of Latin origin and I'm assuming Barnes, being a philologist, would have known this. Does anyone know why he proposed this word, or is this possibly a mistake made by the author of this article?--Hraefen22:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Was Barnes born in Rushay or Bagber, or Rushay Cottage in Bagber or on Bagber Common in Rushay? both places are mentioned at different sites on the Internet.
E.M. Forster in his collection of essays "Two Cheers for Democracy" (my copy was published by Penguin in the seventies) states that Barnes believed that the Dorset dialect was the closest speech to Anglo-Saxon of any type of English. He seems to have been qualified to hold such a belief, but was it just a case of a Victorian having a romantic view of English history? Are there any Anglo-Saxon scholars that support his views?Papergrub (talk) 14:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[1][reply]
