Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints St. Wulstan's history has many points of interest. He was the last Saint of the Anglo-Saxon Church. His name closed the roll of that company so excellent and numerous, which gained for England the title of the Isle of Saints. He was the link between the old English Church and hierarchy and the Norman; he saw the ruin of his people, but was spared himself. And he was a type and representative, as complete perhaps as could be found, of the religious character of the Anglo-Saxon Church; plain, homely, and simple-hearted, cherishing a popular and domestic piety, rather dwelling on the great broad truths of the gospel, than following them into their results; scrupulous and earnest in devotion; without the refinement, learning, and keen thought of the Normans, yet full of fresh and genuine feeling. Wulstan was a monk indeed, and an ascetic, but his vocation lay not in the learned school or meditative cloister, but among the people of the market-place and the village, - his rough, yet hearty and affectionate countrymen.

Excerpt from The Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 3 of 6 Investigation may not be in his power, but he may always meditate. For Investigation he may possess no materials or instruments; he needs but little aid or appliance from without for Meditation. The barley loaves and few small fishes are made to grow under his hand; the oil fills vessel after vessel till not an empty one remains the water-pots become the wells of a costly liquor and the very stones of the desert germinate and yield him bread. He trades with his Lord's money as a good steward that in the end his Lord may receive His own with usury.

Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints: St. Aelred, Abbot of Rievaux The life in Capgrave and the Bollandists has only been partially followed, as it contains various historical inaccuracies. St. Aelred's own works have been on the whole the principal authority made use of. A few notices of the Saint have been inserted in the Life of St. Waltheof, to whom they rather belong. The author hoped to have brought the two lives out together, which, however, has been found impossible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints: St. Gilbert, Prior of Sempringham And race. If he was stern, it was with a calm and majestic sternness, very different from the bestial fury of his son the Red King. On his death-bed he de elared that it was on principle that he had put in prison innocent men, because they were dangerous.1 In the beginning of his reign England had a prospect of peace, when he went back to Normandy and dis played to his noble visitors the beauty of the long haired sons of England and its gold-tipped drinking horns, and congratulated himself on his easy conquest. His policy in the first years of his reign tended to effect a quiet and gradual amalgamation of the Norman and Saxon races. He married Saxon maidens to his nobles, and though he gave the lands of Englishmen to his followers, yet on the other hand he transplanted Englishmen to the continent and endowed them with Norman fiefs. His administration of the law, though stern, was rigidly just, and it was said that a girl laden with gold might pass through England unharmed. He did not Oppress the poor it was rather the noble who felt his iron yoke, and probably the Saxon serf was not worse off under his Norman lord than under the Saxon Thane. The Englishmen had already begun to clip their long hair and to adopt Norman fashions, when the rising under earl Morcar took place, and the bean tiful and generous Edwin treacherously perished, to the universal grief of England. The Conqueror shed some tears over him, but from that moment he seems to have been convinced that a gentle hand could not rule Eng land, and his inexorable policy began. Again, it should not be forgotten that in his exercise of Church pa tronage, he was free from simony, the besetting sin of.

Early English Poems And Lives Of Saints written by Frederick J. Furnivall and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-07-19 with Poetry categories.

Excerpt from Early English Poems and Lives of Saints: With Those of the Wicked Birds Pilate What hath the baldpate done! What hath the baldpate done!' - was manifestly unfair. The punishment of lustful young women also was judicious (p. 73); the Virgin had odd cases brought before her for decision (p. 59); and Judas murders his father - 'smot hym with a ston bihynde in the pate' - marries his mother, hangs himself, his womb bursts amid atwo, 'his gvttes' fall to ground, and through the hole goes out his 'liper gost'. But it is not for the oddities of subject or phrase that one values these poems; it is for their language that the student, and for their earnestness that the man, holds them of worth. The words first used in most of them were registered by our lost friend Herbert Coleridge, in his Glossarial Index to the Printed English Literature of the Thirteenth Century, and most of the new words in the remainder of them will be found at the end of the present Selection. For the deeper feeling in some of the Poems, I need only refer to the simple and touching confession of shortcomings and sins in the 'Moral Ode', to the trust and joy of the Songs of 'Merci' and 'Deo gracias' (p. 118-130), the self-abasement shown in the 'Sarmun' (p. 1-7), the tender love of the 'Christ on the Cross' (p. 20-1), and the triumphant faith of the Martyrs who gave up their lives for God (p. 101-6). Of Rhyme, the text contains one noteworthy specimen, 'the Rhyme-beginning Fragment' (p. 21-2), of which the man most capable to speak in England - whose hand we have, alas, so long missed from our pages - writes as follows: Edinburgh, Aug. 30, 1860. My dear Furnivall, I am on my rambles, and your letter of the 20th has been following me. The rhyme which has attracted your attention belongs to the kind, which is called "inverse rhyme." You will find something about it in the History of English Rhythms - in the chapter on rhyme. I do not however remember to have seen so ancient or so elaborate a specimen as the one you have sent me. It is very curious, and to me interesting. - With all best wishes I am Yours truly E. Guest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
