Origin OF the English Lam
gUaSe.
BY DEWITT C. CLINTON.

The accession of William the Con-
queror to the throne Of England, was
the signal for the annihilation of the
institutions of the Anglo Saxons and
the con6scation of their estates. The
curfew tolled the knell of their departed
glory and the forced employment Of the
Norman language in all public acts
the compulsory teaching Of the Nor
man tongue in all the schools and the
introduction of Norman manners and
Norman customs into social life, sub
jeeted the Anglo>Saxons and their Lam
'gnage to ridicule aud contempt. Their
fortunes were blasted, and they were
forced to fly to the mountains, or seek
refuge in foreign lands. But though
the fabric of Norman power was erected
on the ruins Of their government, life
and vigor yet dwelt in the subjugated
race. While the Saxon noblemen 10
the Businesses of the country maintained
an open and deadly hostility toward the
conquerors, the monk, in whose veins
flowed the same Saxon blood, in the
quiet retreat Of the monasteries of
Britain and the Western Isles, cher
ished in silence, a similar hatred, en-
