Excerpt from On the Nature and Evidence of Title to Realty: A Historical Sketch, Being the Yorke Prize Essay (1898), University of CambridgeThis is practically all we know from history of the land system of these early days. Several centuries elapsed from the time of Tacitus until the Saxons began their invasions of Britain. What happened in the mean time can only be conjectured, and indeed, as we shall see in the next chapter, it is long after the invasions were at an end before we have anything very definite on which to go. When, however, we do come again into the clear light of history we find much to suggest that the methods of which Tacitus wrote were employed by the invaders, the most abiding witness being the open field system of agriculture of which there are many traces even to-days.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
