Excerpt from Local Government in Francia and England: A Comparison of the Local Administration and Jurisdiction of the Carolingian Empire With That of the West Saxon Kingdom When the question of the relation of the two systems arose, the natural inclination was to suppose that the less perfect and less symmetrical would borrow the institutions of the more centralized and complete. It might be thought that England, owing religion and all that religion involved to the Continent, would seek there also for governmental improvements. Believers in a close relation between the two countries have as a rule taken this view Of the question. But, as is well known, and as we shall try to show, the debt was by no means all on England's side, and a recent writer 1 has suggested that at least one new feature Of Carolingian policy and ad ministration was borrowed from England. His suggestion will be noticed, but it does not really touch our problem, which is limited to the relation of West Saxon and Carolingian local institutions, and can only incidentally refer to those of Northumbria.
