New-York tribune., 1907-11-17


Who, after all, was King Arthur? The sub
1ect is one that seems to be arousing historical
interest. Two recent books-one American, one
Engllsh-deal with the question and dwell upon
its historical Importance. The answer is Of
Roman occupation of Britain upon the subse-
quent history of the island. If Arthur a
E2man The fact is evidence of the persistence
OF Roman influence after the withdrawal of the
Leglons Now, great deal of modern legal
ana historical speculation turns the persist
ence Of Roman influence; the engrafting of
Roman social. agrarian and urban ideas into the
mind stuff Of alien peoples; the implanting Of
Roman economic notions into the customs of
undeveloped races. If can show that what
was in effect Roman rule obtained In Britain
a century after the separation between London
and Rome, a great step is made in rendering 1t
probable that the spirit Of Rome remained when
her bodily presence was withdrawn.
First, perhaps, l should refer to the name
itself Concerning the name a word fierce
battles worthy of the Knights of the Round
Table have been fought, and it is not for anna
teurS to step in where the most competent his
torians fear to tread There is a great deal to
be said for both the Roman and the Celtic
origin of the name. The name Artor or Ar
most frantic Celt can deny it. All he can say
is that Artor and Arthur are different words
without any relationship whatsoever save per-
haps in the baCkwoodS OF some far off Indo-
European community. To a common sense
mind such an attitude is overwhelming. BIT
nevertheless there is a great deal TO be said for
It. Common sense is VIGOROUSLY misleading in
matters Of etymology. In some tenth century
