We follow it into the Year Books, and perhaps beyond them to the customs of the Salian Franks, and somewhere in the past, in the German forests, in the needs of Norman kings, in the assumptions of a dominant class, in the absence of generalized ideas, we find out the practical motive for what now best is justified by the mere fact of its acceptance and that men are accustomed to it.

我们跟随它进入了编年史，并也许超越它们而来到撒利·法兰克人的习俗，在过去的某个地方——它可以是在日尔曼的丛林里，或诺曼国王们的需求，或统治阶级的假定，我们在没有普遍观念的指引下去发现［规则的］现实动机，而它的存在理由至多不过是它被接受且已被人们所习惯的事实。

这种行为方式仍然保留在那些野蛮无教养的未形成世俗政府的国家之中，比如鞑靼人和其他的东方人；在这些地方气候本身，以及他们领土的无边界性，共同促使他们仍然停留在漂泊自由的野人状态，这在最初的时代是普遍的情形；塔西特斯(56～120？)告诉我们杰曼人（German，常译为日尔曼，我不知道究竟是音译呢，还是意译，或许源于其它语言？）的这种状态一直保持到罗马帝国的衰落。这种情况，我们还有一个明显的例子，即历史上的亚伯拉罕和他的外甥罗得。
