and especially Achilles Tatius, give pictures
of Roman praedial slavery too painful to quote. Roman domestic slavery
is not to be described by the pen of an Englishman. And I must express
my sorrow, that in the face of such notorious facts, some have of late
tried to prove American slavery to be as bad as, or even worse than, that
of Rome. God forbid! Whatsoever may have been the sins of the Southern
gentleman, he is at least a Teuton, and not a Roman; a whole moral heaven
above the effeminate wretch, who in the 4th and 5th centuries called
himself a senator and a clarissimus.

{109} Had he actually taken the name of Theodoric, Theuderic, Dietrich,
which signifies much the same thing as 'King of nations'?

{158} With west-countrymen, to 'scrattle' still means to scramble, or
shuffle about.

{162} English Language, vol. i. p. 200.

{214} Cf. Montalembert. 'Moines d'Occident.'
