[21] The Huns themselves still continued to despise the labors of
agriculture: they abused the privilege of a victorious nation; and the
Goths, their industrious subjects, who cultivated the earth, dreaded
their neighborhood, like that of so many ravenous wolves.

[22] The curious narrative of this embassy, which required few
observations, and was not susceptible of any collateral evidence, may be
found in Priscus. But I have not confined myself to the same order; and
I had previously extracted the historical circumstances, which were less
intimately connected with the journey, and business, of the Roman
ambassadors.

[23] M. de Tillemont has very properly given the succession of
chamberlains who reigned in the name of Theodosius. Chrysaphius was the
last, and, according to the unanimous evidence of history, the worst of
these favorites. His partiality for his godfather, the heresiarch
Eutyches, engaged him to persecute the orthodox party.

THE ENGLISH CONQUEST OF BRITAIN

A.D. 449-579

JOHN R. GREEN CHARLES KNIGHT

If we look for the fatherland of the English race, we must, as
modern historians have clearly shown, direct our search "far away
from England herself." In the fifth century of the Christian era a
region in what is now called Schleswig was known by the name of
Anglen (England). But the inhabitants of this district are believed
to have comprised only a small detached portion of the Engle
(English), while the great body of this people probably dwelt
within the limits of the present Oldenburg and lower Hanover.

On several sides of Anglen were the homes of various tribes of
Saxons and Jutes, and these peoples were all kindred, being members
of one branch (Low German) of the Teutonic family. History first
finds them becoming united through community of blood, of language,
institutions, and customs, although it was too early yet to justify
the historian in giving to them the inclusive name of Englishmen.
They all, however, had part in the conquest of England, and it was
their union in that land that gave birth to the English people.

Little is known of the actual character and life of these people
who made the earliest England, but their Germanic inheritance is
traceable in their social and political framework, which already
