263 whom fhe chief in each county was called Shire-reeve, and was the original of our Sheriff. The land was divided into counties, hundreds, and tithings or tenths, making the admin- istration of justice the easier.
Alfred died at Farringdon, in Berkshire, 901 a. D. , being fifty-one years of age. He was buried in the new Minster, which he himself had founded in Winchester, the capital of his kingdom.
Alfred the Great was the best of English kings. The pages of history can nowhere produce a pur...er portion than those which record his life. His remark, "It is just that the English should forever remain as free as their own thoughts, " showed his patriotism and noble nature. He devoted his life to the good of his subjects, and "we can justly bestow on him the trij^le crown of Virtue, Heroism, and Culture. " Alfred the Great, says Freeman, " is a singular instance of a prince who has become a hero of romance, who, as such, has had countless imaginary exploits attributed to him, but to whose character romance has done no more than justice, and who appears in exactly the same light in history and in fable.
