Page 110 - En is het niet schoon, te worden uitgezonden om de vermoeiden te zoeken, die achterbleven na den arbeid en neerzonken langs den weg, daar hun knieën niet sterk meer waren om op te gaan naar de plaats van het loon? Zou ik niet verheugd wezen de hand te mogen reiken aan wie in de groeve viel, en een...
Page 47 - ... Benefices either began or hastened the changes which led ultimately to feudalism. Yet I think that nobody whose mind has dwelt on the explanation, has brought himself to regard it as complete. It does not tell us how the Benefices came to have so extraordinary a historical fortune. It does- not account for the early, if partial, feudalisation of countries like Germany and England,, where the cultivated soil was in the hands of free and fully organised communities, and was not, like the land of...
Page 100 - India, at all events, another set of influences then came into play which have had the effect of making the •vestiges of the payment of rent extremely faint and feeble. All Oriental sovereigns feed their courts and armies by an unusually large share of the produce of the soil which their subjects till. The Indian mon;archs of whose practices we have any real knowledge took so much of the produce in the shape of landrevenue as to leave to the cultivating groups little more than the means of bare...

Page 110 - Doch ik ontwaarde dat uwe bevolking arm is, en daarover was ik blijde in het binnenste mijner ziel. Want ik weet dat ALLAH den arme liefheeft, en dat hij rijkdom geeft aan wien hij beproeven wil, maar tot de armen zendt hij wie Zijn woord spreekt, opdat zij zich oprigten in hunne ellende. Geeft Hij niet regen waar de halm verdort, en een' dauwdrup in den bloemkelk die dorst heeft?
Page 70 - ... were settled by servile colonies modelled on the ancient Teutonic township. The bond which kept the Manorial group together was evidently the Manorial Court, presided over by the lord or his representative. Under the name of Manorial Court three courts are usually included, which legal theory keeps apart, the Court Leet, the Court Baron, and the Customary Court of the Manor. I think there cannot be reasonable doubt of the legitimate descent of all three from the assembly of the Township.
Page 72 - Tenemental lands; those held by the second class constitute the Lord's Domain. Both kinds of land are essential to the completeness of the Manorial group. If there are not Tenemental lands to supply a certain minimum number of free tenants to attend the Court Baron, and, according to the legal theory, to sit with the lord as its judges, the Court Baron can no longer in strictness be held; if it be continued under such circumstances, as it often was in practice, it can only be upheld as a Customary...
