The History Of Servia And The Servian Revolution

Excerpt from The History of Servia, and the Servian Revolution: With a Sketch of the Insurrection in Bosnia The most remarkable and Significant epoch in the history of Sclavonian nations is found towards the close of the ninth century. Migrations had ceased; immense tracts of country had been populated; and numerous tribes, of whose very names the ancients were scarcely cognisant, had advanced some steps within the limits of historical and geographical recognition. Foreign rule, as that Of the Avars, had been cast off, and the time was come for the Sclavonians to raise themselves into independence, and to attempt the formation of political institutions.
