About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos or missing text. Not indexed. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1857. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... SECTION IV. THE SAXON PERIOD. At length, about the year 447, the Roman legions were withdrawn from Britain, and the Britons were left to their own resources. But entirely dependent upon the protection of others as they had been for nearly four centuries, and enervating as their advanced civilization, in such circumstances, had naturally proved, they soon discovered their inability to cope with their ancient enemies the Picts and Scots, who had speedily availed themselves of the favorable opportunity for renewing their long-abandoned inroads. The Britons, therefore, in their extremity, and on the advice of Vortigern their King, invoked the assistance of a foreign power, and that power, for purposes of its own, was but too eager to comply.1 The result was, that the Saxons, who had thus been employed as friends, found themselves, in time, the possessors of almost the entire country. They not only assisted the Britons, as they had been engaged to do, but they afterwards turned upon and conquered them. Thousands of the Britons were killed in battle and by treachery,1 from time to time, and of the survivors some remained in their own localities, more or less in a state of vassalage, --others fled to Armorica, where the name of Brittany remains as a memorial of their emigration, --and the rest retired to the remote recesses of Cornwall, and to the mountain fastnesses of Wales.1 1 It is probable that extensive colonies of adventurous Germans were settled in this country long before the arrival of Hengist and Horsa. An officer called ' Comes Littoris Saxonici per Britannias' is mentioned in the celebrated document 'Notitia Utriusque Imperii, ' compiled at least fifty years before the final departure of the Bomans. His jurisdiction appears to have extended from Portus.
