CH. VI.] THE WITENA GEMOT. 261 Having now completed this list, which must be confessed to be but an imperfect one, I do not scruple to express my belief that every charter in the Codex Diplomaticus, which is not merely a private will or private settlement, is the genuine act of some witena gemot : and that we thus possess a long and interesting series of records, en- abling us to foll...ow the action of the Saxon Parliaments from the very cradle of our monarchy.
262 CHAPTER VII.
THE TOWNS.
We have now arrived at that point of our enquiry at which it behoves us to bestow our attention upon the origin and growth of towns among the Anglosaxons; and to this end we shall find it expedient to carry our researches to a still earlier period, and investigate, though in a slight degree, the condition of their British and lioman predeces- sors in this respect. At first sight it would seem natural to suppose that where a race had long pos- sessed the outward means and form of civilization, — a race among whom great military and civil esta- blishments had been founded, who had clustered round provincial cities, the seats of a powerful go- vernment, and whose ports and harbours had been the scenes of active commerce, — there need be little question as to the origin of towns and cities among those who conquered and dispossessed them.
