SCANDINAVIAN BRITAIN
INTRODUCTORY CHAPTERS
By the late Professor York Powell
I. MATERIALS
Libros ipsos relegi quorum quamvis verba non recito sensus
tamen et res actas credo me integre retinere.–Jord., De
Get., Prol.
The last great wave of Teutonic Migration (before
the discovery of America), is that by which great
parts of the British Islands and Gaul were conquered
and settled by new-comers from the Scandinavian
peninsulas. It is with the part of this movement which
concerns Britain, that this little book will briefly deal.
The results of this Migration are great enough to
justify our spending some little time and trouble upon
its history, for our population, our laws, and our
language still show clear proofs of its influence, and
among the several circumstances that have
distinguished the history of our own country from that
of other parts of West Europe, the incoming of the
Northmen cannot be held the least.
