Excerpt from German Literature Central europe, from the Adriatic to the Baltic, is occupied by a people, who, however divided politically into states, form socially, and as respects race and language, but one nation. The name Gamma, which we assign to this great people, is that given to them by the Romans: the distinctive appellation which they apply to themselves is Deutsch, a term derived from Teutones, by which they were generally known, as also by the name Goths, in the early history of Europe. A section of this Teutonic or Gothic people from Saxony settled in England, and hence an affinity between the speech of the English and their German ancestors.
