The religion lends to the same conclusion ns llic Ian
gunge. Could n heathen and christntn nntlon have ex
isted sldo by side, have occupied the same land, mid
neither have influenced tho other? "To judge from the
stubbornness with which Romanized nations everywhere
rejected heathendom, and the facility with which Teu
tonic tribes nccoptcd Christianity, it was not the Britons
who would have become worshipper of Woden but tlio
English who would linvo become worshippers of Christ."
But Chrlstinnity wholly disappenred. When it. w.s
brought back it was not by the Welsh, but by mission
aries from Home, and when the Latin language returned
it enmo as a foreign tongue needing an interpreter.
The law as utterly disappeared ns the language and
religion. If any fragment of old provincial life had
suivivcd, would it not have been that which survived in
all the other provinces the law? fu Roman times the
towns played an important part,r,but under English rule
they went to ruin. When they were repeopled it was not
by a British but by an English population. It took
mauy years for cities like London and York to cover the
same space once filled by Roman towns. If Celtic life
had flowed on as before would this have been the case?
Then, teo, the laws of these towns were Teutonic. They
knew nothing of decunons or curials. "The political
institutions that we find established in the conquered
laid, as well as the social uses of the people, were utterly
different from those of the Roman or Colt; not only were
they those which arc common to the German race, but
they arc the most purely German institutions that any
branch of the German race has preserved."
The proof is conclusive that the English were not ex
terminated by the Danes, since after the reign of thrao
Danish kings they were able to restore the English dy
nasty and hold it until overpowered by the Normans.
It Is undoubtedly true that mnny, who call themselves
Englishmen, are more or less Celtic; but as we assert
that the founders of the United States were English,
while we freely admit that all those who call Ihomielvcs
Americans to-day are by no means English, so, in the face
of established facts, we cannot deny that the tribes who
laid the fonndation of modern England, those who have
give her the sterling qualities which have made her
one of the greatest nations in tho world, that spirit of
enterprise which has carried tho English flag into every
corner of the globe, those tribes were those who left
their native homes across tho German sea, to become
neither Roman nor Briton, but to found a nation for
themselves, und to baud down to succeeding ages tho
inheritance of Englishmen.
