He wrote a single article, "Uncleftish Beholding" ("Atomic Theory")
in a style of English that avoids all words of French, Latin, or Greek
origin.  The name "Ander-Saxon" was coined by Douglas Hofstadter,
the cognitive scientist.

This list has published a fair amount of Ander-Saxon, including
my U.S Bill of Rights and "What to do when you are stopped [arrested]
in Markland", and I-forget-who's elementary linguistics text.
