THE SCANDINAVIAN STATES. 



Under the name of Scandinavian States we may com- 

 prise the coimtries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, 

 which were settled by the same group of German tribes, 

 the so-caEed Norsemen; they originally spoke the same 

 language, which only later became more or less differen- 

 tiated. The settlement of the country by these tribes 

 seems to have been accomplished in the main by the end 

 of the 8th century ; and the separation into the three sev- 

 eral kingdoms in the ninth to twelfth centuries, during 

 which time they were sometimes united, or at least under 

 one ruler, sometimes at war with each other, and always 

 torn by interior dissensions bordering on anarchy.
