Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Monarchs Retired From Business, Vol. 1 of 2 "Oh, ´tis the sweetest of all earthly things, To gaze on Princes and to talk of Kings!" - Pope. The word King has had assigned to it a Germanic derivation, which implies the power of the privileged individual by whom it is borne. The term is derived, we are told, from können, "to be able," - a man who emphatically can do, what he pleases. The word is to be traced in many Germanic names borne by exalted personages wielding sovereign power; and the old Kunibalds, Kunigilds, Kunildas, and the like, were, doubtless, irresponsible persons, who were not to be questioned. In the Old High-German language, the term Chuninc (from Chunni, a race) signifies the "chief of a race." In the Anglo-Saxon we have, according to Schwenke, the word King under the forms Cyning, Cynig, Cyng, Cinc, Cing, Cinge, Cining, Cininc. The Swedish language gives it us in Konung, the Danish in Konge, the Finnish in Kuningas. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
