ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE. A Britain and the English. Pp. 1-7. 1. Sleswick and lower Hanover, the fatherland of the English. To the N. of the English the Jutes in Jutland, to the E. and W. the Saxons in Holstein from the Weser to the Rhine. 2. English social and political life. Pp. 2-4. a A nation of farmers living in villages, i.e., in clusters of homesteads. Each village composed of families, not of individuals; thus, I The "blood-wite" (compensation for wrong) paid not by man to man, but by family to family. 2 Each man accused of wrong condemned or acquitted by the oath of his family. c Each village consists of freemen, "ceorls," and men of noble blood, "eorls," from whom the freemen chose leaders, called Heretogan in war, and Ealdormen in peace. d The sovereign power lies with the body of ceorls; judgments given, and peace and war settled, by the village Witan, i.e., the wise men of the village, round whom all ceorls gather and have their voice; "Si displicuit sententia, fremitu adspernantur: sin placuit, frameas concutiunt." 3. English religion. P. 4. Each ceorl his own priest, sacrificing to the god of his hearth. Woden, the war-god, the father of the race, who taught his children letters, and gave them ways and boundaries. Thor, the god of air and storm and rain. Frea, the goddess of peace and joy and fruitfulness. Tiw, to meet whom is death. Eostre, the god of the dawn and of spring. Behind these the remnants of an older mythology, and the deities of popular fancy. |
