j^reat evil, brought iiit'ii's minds to the consideration of their own national wants, and led to tiie downfall of the incongruous system of the great baronial houses. After this storm we find the English mind as strong as ever. We get a Skelton, a More, a Wyatt, and a Surrey, all sterling English writers ; and when the Reformation comes, the English authorities of the church in the ninth century are made to support the new Church of England in the sixteenth. English throughout, from the far ba...ck home in Angeln to the pleasant homes of England of to-day, we read the nation's history in its love of simple, trusting faith, quiet strong sense, a solemn honour for the holy name of woman, and a deference to the abstract power of the law. Our mythology has been suppressed by the learned Latinists, and the impure systems of Greece and Eome substituted for it. Liut have they crushed it ? The names of our week days, of most of our festivals — Yule, Eostra, Ash Wednesday, the Ember week. Lent, the cock- worship on Shrove Tuesday — are answers to this question.
