 | | The "three tribes of Germany"—the Jutes, the Angles, and the Saxons, by whom Britain was subdued, seem originally to have constituted but one nation, speaking the same language, and ruled by monarchs who all claimed their descent from the deified monarch of the Teutons, Woden or Odin. |
 | | All seem to agree that the Jutes warred successfully against the Picts and Scots; and that, in order to reward their services, the Isle of Thanet was bestowed upon them, in the manner which, as I have before described, was practised by the Romans in favour of their Laetic or Gentile auxiliaries. |
 | | Connecting the history of the Jutes with antecedent events, it appears most agreeable to probability, that their landing was the result of such a piratical expedition as had so often harassed Britain in the Roman ages. |
