Excerpt from The Origin of the English Nation
Of the English nation, so far as the information at our disposal permits. The author ventures to hope that in spite of its many shortcomings it may serve to call attention to a field Of investigation which, though rich in promise, has been greatly neglected, especially in this country. In general he has sought to make use of all branches of ethnological study - history, tradition, language, custom, religion and antiquities. Owing however to the backwardness Of archaeological research through out the north Of Europe, except in Denmark and Sweden, it has not been found possible to treat the last of these subjects in a manner at all commensurate with its true importance. When this branch of study has been developed it will perhaps be possible to Obtain more light on the affinities of the English nation in times anterior to those to which the earliest heroic traditions refer. At present, it need hardly be said, we have little definite evidence available for that early period, and any investigation that is made must necessarily partake more or less of a hypothetical character.

The Origin of the English Nation Classic Reprint Hector Munro Chadwick Books Reviews
A highly detailed account of the origin of the Anglo-Saxons, Germans, Jutes and Danes with four maps showing the ancient homelands in Scandinavia, Germany and Britain early in the present era.
It has often been said that the English nation had sprung from diverse racial origns, but while it indeed represents an amalgam of Anglo-Saxons, Germans, Jutes and Danes, with related Celtic elements, these peoples were all closely related. Even the Celts are now believed to have separated from the Germanic speakers only a thousand years or so B.C., when they spread out in all directions from the common Germanic-Celtic homeland north of the European Alps.
Contents include The Saxons, Angles and Jutes in Britain; The Angles and Saxons in Germany; The Danish Settlers; The Classification of the Ancient Germanii.
Interesting book. Quick delivery and I am satisfied with my purchase.
