" X Tout: Chapters in Mediceval Administrative History, i, 8. § See for this Viollet : Histoire des Institutions politiques et administratives de la France y iii, 177-185. In 1368 we find " parliament " still used in France in the sense of popular assembly, the "parliamentum regis Francie" consisting of the " tres status lingue d'oy. " 102 ATTRACTION AND REPULSION The division into estates was natural enough in a time when qlasses' were so sharply divided, bu...t there is no special* sanctity in the number three. In England the cti-rious treatise called Modus tenendi Parliamentum, which I feel mclined to date about 1 340, tells us that the parliament consisted of six ** degrees " or estates. * But the unity of the original assembly was its strength. The doctrine of estates ignored that unity, and the undue separation of the nation into socially distinct groups was a main cause of the discredit into which the system of estates fell all over Europe. It was, I think, the weakness of its tendency towards splitting up into estates that helped to give its amazing vitality to the English Parliament.
