The great Teutonic nation was seemingly planted on the best lands of Central Europe; the great Scandinavian people lay far to the north; the Jutes, the Angles, the Saxons, the Frisians, lay between;--the Angli, who gave their name to England, lying at the point (Angulus) where the coast of the Baltic first bends sharply toward the north. Are these the peoples that gave substance and strength and splendor to the English race? The men who fall out in a forced march (said a great Virginian captain) are not the men to stand up in a long fight. Toward the close of the Eighth Century the Scandinavians of the North began their work of devastation upon English soil. For at least three centuries the Anglo-Saxons held the Rover's name in...
