As near as can be judged, the population of England and Wales did not exceed 2,000,000 at the close of the Saxon period. Yet, strangely, there were nearly as many inhabitated towns, villages, and hamlets then as at the present time. The towns of that day were not only very much smaller than even those of least importance in modern times, but their populations bore a less ratio to that of the country at large. The Saxon population of England was devoted chiefly to husbandry and pasturage. Like all such populations, it was widely scattered.
