S6 Mr. W. S. L. Szyrma on the Relation of the 
Chrobacians, and even Dalmatians joined the Cyrillic confession. 
It was not till ] 060 tliat the Moravians were, by the synod of Salona, 
put under the ban of Rome. Still in both Bohemia and Poland 
they lingered to a much later age. 
II. Whether the Hussites are a revival of the Cyrillians is 
uncertain. The coincidence of their revolt with Wycliffe's, in the 
home of the Brito-Keltic Church, is a striking occurrence, difficult to

Finnic Muscovites were converted and Slavonized in the Thirteenth 
Century, and their Czars then became the zealous missionaries of

IV. I have no time to advert to the Reformation in Poland as a

from the first, a fixed and agricultural people. Their fortified 
villages, or '* grods,'' were built on the alluvial plains of the Dnieper, 
Niemen, Vistula, and other great rivers. There they guarded the 
produce of the soil by rude earthworks from the nomade Turanian
