Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Essays in Connexion With the Land, the Church, &C In the following pages I have attempted to throw some light upon various features of the past; and though obsolete Land Customs and Measurements, and Standards of Weight and Currency that have long ceased to be in use, possess but few attractions for the general reader, a certain familiarity with them may be of advantage in investigating the past. The use to which I have occasionally put them will appear further on. Some acquaintance, also, with other questions upon which I have touched, may be of assistance in enabling us, in the present age, to form a clearer conception of the differences separating us from our predecessors in the olden time, as well as of the similarities that unite us with them. Thus the community of a certain period, which is occasionally appealed to as a precedent, differed in many essential particulars from the popular conception formed of it. It could never be revived in its original form, whether that were free or servile, without resuscitating serfdom (or something like it) in the latter case, or again reverting to the tie of kindred by which it was bound together, as long as its members continued to be full-free and independent. The theory that every man is born into the world with equal rights may, or may not, be correct, but it is a theory that would have been repudiated by every member of a free community, whether Adaling or Friling, with contempt.
