Anglo-Saxon History As Illustrated By To...
they are found intermixed in the same shires , as Chester and Caister , Wieh and Wick . Twenty-sixth—The invasion did not take place , as vulgarly
assumed , by a nation of East Saxons in Essex , and of East English in Norfolk and Suffolk ; but as is attested by Bede , the invaders consisted of many nations and tribes intermixed , though the confederation which invaded Essex may have been headed by Saxon chiefs or tribes .
Twenty-seventh—Although at a later period these dialects were formed as Oxfordshire , Kentish , & c , yet in the beginning the invaders used the national dialects they brought with them . Twenty-eighth—The invaders did not include to any extent the High Dutch or other inferior tribes of the Germanic race , but consisted chiefly of the kindred Anglo-Suevian tribes .
Twenty-ninth—The tribe , family , or clan names , are not so distinctly marked as Kemble has assumed ; and-for their full and ultimate determination , a better knowledge must be obtained of the Romanised and other names in England and in Germania . Thirtieth— -The common names ofthe English population in the
earliest periods were the same as those now existing of the same type , as Bull , Brown , Sharp , & c . Thirty-first—The invaders spread in the manner indicated by the Anglo-Saxon chronicle , by successive battles and extension of frontier , and not by the mere annexation of a Germanic or allied Welsh
population . Thirty-second—A like population , but by successive invasions , supplied Middlesex , and Surrey or tlie Southrick , ancl the North folk ancl the South folk , between each of which striking identity of nomenclature is established ..
Thirty-third— -The nomenclature bears evidence of epochs . In the districts alleged by the chronicle to be first occupied , a system of nomenclature prevails , largely based on clan names ; but in the districts , recorded as subsequently occupied , as on the borders of Northumbria , for instance , the system of nomenclature is found to undergo modification .
Thirty-fourth—These modifications of structure afford an historical test ofthe period of invasion and occupation of the respective districts , Avhich are commonly found conformable with the chronicle . Thirty-fifth—This evidence shows that the Northumbrian invasions embraced a large part of the lowlands of Scotland , and at an early date ; and confirm the assertion that the population of the lowlands is of pure English origin , and to be considered a part of the English race , and not a foreign or Celtic race .
Thirty-sixth—Tlie old names afford evidence of the invaders belonging to the religion of Woden or Woden , though not to the extent that might be expected ; as if the English of that day did nob generally take much part in religious celebrations , but left them to a portion of the community .
