Anglo Saxon Britain Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Anglo-Saxon Britain This little book is an attempt to give a brief sketch of Britain under the early English conquerors, rather from the social than from the political point of View. For that purpose not much has been said about the doings of kings and statesmen; but attention has been mainly directed towards the less obvious evi dence afforded us by existing monuments as to the life and mode of thought of the people themselves. The principal object throughout has been to estimate the importance of those elements in modern British life which are chiefly due to purely English or Low Dutch influences.
