FORMER CONNEXION OF GREAT BRITAIN WITH THE
CONTINENT.—The Goodwin Sands were the broad lands
and fruitful possessions of Earl Godwin, father of King
Harold, nearly down to the Conquest : and, though we
have no historical trace of the fact, yet is is geologically

ridge, which has been abraded by the current and the ac-

lar formations of the high grounds above Boulogne, can
still be traced by the sounding-line ; and Verstegan feels
persuaded, that we should never have required Edgar's
prudent care in offering such liberal rewards for the exti r:
