The Academy Vol 25

Excerpt from The Academy, Vol. 25: A Weekly Review of Literature, Science, and Art; January-June, 1884 The chapter dealing with the House of Alfred is distinguished by a learned and original essay on the beginnings of the English shires, which are attributed, after a cogent argument, to the customs of that oldest Wessex which lay between the Southampton Water and the great Forest of Selwood. Our system of county government began to exist, on this theory, even before Somerset and Dorset had begun to attain that rude unity which had already given importance to Wilton and South em ton as the centres of the oldest shires.
