The Latin words introduced between the time of Caesar and Hengist may be called the _Latin of the first period_, or the _Latin of the Celtic period_. s. 151. _The Anglo-Saxon._--This is not noticed here, because from being the staple of the present language it is more or less the subject of the book throughout. s. 152. _The Danish, or Norse._--The pirates that pillaged Britain, under the name of Danes, were not exclusively the inhabitants of Denmark. Of the three Scandinavian nations, the Swedes took the least share, the Norwegians the greatest {99} in these invasions. Not that the Swedes were less piratical, but that they robbed elsewhere,--in Russia, for instance, and in Finland. The language of the three nations was the same; the differences being differences of dialect. It was that which is now spoken in Iceland, having been once common to Scandinavia and Denmark. Whether this was aboriginal in _Denmark_, is uncertain. In _Scandinavia_ it was imported; the tongue that it supplanted having been, in all probability, the mother-tongue of the present Laplandic. The Danish that became incorporated with our language, under the reign of Canute and his sons, may be called the direct Danish (Norse or Scandinavian) element, in contradistinction to the indirect Danish of ss. 144, 155.
