The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

p are few periods of history so distressing to the historian JL as the two centuries during which the northern pirates, like a swarm of wasps, overspread the maritime districts of western Europe, and converted its rivers into mere highways for brigandage; when everything that men value as civilisation was being ruthlessly destroyed ; when abbey and church, palace and farmstead, were burnt and their inmates slaughtered; when the reviving arts with…

XVI. The Factitious Genealogies of the Mongol Rulers
When the various tribes of Mongols and Kalmuks were definitely converted to Lamaism in the sixteenth century it was not unnatural that the Lamaist monks, who formed their only literary class, should have tried to affiliate their famous heroes and their princely families to the old royal stock of Tibet, which had become for them a sacred land. Hence we find the two Mongol chronicles, one known as the “Altan Topchi” and the other generally quoted f…

The Rise of Gaius Julius Caesar, with an Account of his Early Friends, Enemies, and Rivals
In my previous paper I brought the story of Caesar down to the year when he returned home from the East after Sulla's death, and started a new double career—first as one of the college of pontiffs, and secondly as a tribune; the fact of his having had both a religious and secular status at this time no doubt greatly extended his influence and increased the number of useful people with whom he had personal ties. His appointment as a pontiff on the…

The Rise of Gaius Julius Caesar, with an Account of his Early Friends, Enemies, and Rivals
It is assuredly a memorable fact that the beginning of our history, which has been in many ways unmatched, should be closely associated with a personage so deservedly famous and so great as Julius Caesar. These islands were known to the geographers of an earlier age, and had been visited by merchants and other adventurous people, but they were rather the homes of wondrous tales and of romantic legends than treated as parts of the world of which t…

Lancashire, Old and New.” The Presidential Address to the Lancaster Meeting of the Institute
The Early History of Babylonia
I N a previous paper I endeavoured to collect the evidence which points to the primitive people of Lower Chaldea having formed part of that dark-skinned and adventurous race, sometimes distinguished as Cushite, which in the earliest times inhabited nearly all the seaboard of the Indian Ocean. It stands out among the fogs which envelop the beginnings of human history as the pioneer of commerce, of the art J, and of culture; and though it is imposs…

Introduction to the Translation of the Han Annals
The greater part of this account, by Pan-Koo, the auLthor of the " Han- shoo," or " History of the Western Han," is an almost verbatim quotation from-the earlier history " She-ke," by Sze.ma

Art. XI.— The Northern Frontagers of China . Part I. The Origines of the Mongols
The researches of Schott have thrown considerable light on what was previously a very obscure question, namely, the Origines of the Mongols—a question I propose to reexamine, with his assistance and that of other recent authors. There are three methods of approaching such a question. We may analyze the Mongolian tongue, and thus discover the elements which went to make up the race; we may collect the references to the race that we find in contemp…
Art. XIV.— The Northern Frontagers of China . Part II.— The Origines of the Manchus
For the name Manchu several etymologies have been proposed. Klaproth says that the Chinese characters representing it mean a well-peopled island, and that it is probably of Chinese origin; the Tatar hordes in early times liking to adopt Chinese soubriquets. The Thibetans transcribe the name Mandjhau, and some have thought it to be of Thibetan origin. Remusat has devoted several pages of his magnum opus to a discussion of the subject, but without …

Art. VII— The Northern Frontagers of China . Part III.— The Kara Khitai
The history of Central Asia before the days of Jingis Khan is singularly complicated and obscure; and if we are to make our way among its mazes, we can only do so profitably by concentrating our attention on the larger empires which then floúrished, and integrating the scattered facts that have survived to our day about the lesser powers around them. The empire which held this dominant position at the accession of Jingis was that of Kara Khitai, …
Art. X.—The Northern Frontagers of China. Part IV.—The Kin or Golden Tatars
The new facts collected by M. Gorski clear up a good deal of obscurity about the darker period in the traditions, of the Manchus. His conclusions as to their ancestry are, however, quite at one with those which are now universally held, namely, that they are descended from the Kin Tatars, and that their royal family is descended from the Kin Emperors. In the Saga, Aishin Gioro appears among the three families as a stranger and a boy. Are such wai…
Art. IX.—The Northern Frontagers of China. Part II.—The Manchus. (Supplementary Notice.)
In concluding my former paper on the Manchus, I ventured to say that it condensed the history of their origin so far as it could be gathered from authorities accessible to western students, and to express a hope that new materials might enable us to clear up its crooked story. These have reached me sooner than I could have expected, and are contained in two papers by M. Gorski, who was attached to the Russian Mission at Peking, and have been publ…
The Early Intercourse of the Danes and Franks
The early history of Denmark may be divided into two portions. For the first we have as materials only the native sagas and legends, which have been preserved for us by Saxo Grammaticus and others. The second portion, which covers a period when Denmark had entered into relations, sometimes hostile and sometimes diplomatic, with the great Frankish empire to the south, is illustrated by occasional notices in the contemporary monastic annals. These …

The Columban Clergy of North Britain, and their Harrying by the Norsemen
In making some researches into the migrations of the Norsemen in early times, I have been much struck with the apparent absence in the ordinary sources of information of anything which could resuscitate for us a picture of the condition of things in North Britain at the beginning of the ninth century, when the isles and coasts of Scotland were so terribly harried by the pirates. Recently the profound researches of Dr. Reeves and Mr. Skene, both o…
The Early Intercourse of the Franks and Danes. Part II
There is a passage in one of the Frankish annals which has not received the attention which it deserves, and which I believe throws a great deal of light on the history of the Danish revolutions of the early part of the ninth century. This chronicle was written in verse by a Low Saxon monk some time during the reign of Arnulph, who died in 899. Under the year 807 we read that a Norman chief named Alfdeni, accompanied by a great following, submitt…
