Abstract
IN the second volume of “Our Forefathers”, Prof. Schutte, having already in his first volume disposed of general questions relating to the Indo-Germanic peoples, passes on to deal with individual “Gothonic” groups. Each is taken in turn and its early history reviewed in the light of the evidence of literary records, philology, place-names, tradition, archæology and ethnology. The Anglo-Saxons and the Scandinavian peoples, naturally, receive extended treatment.
