A hundred is an administrative division which historically was used to divide a larger region into smaller geographical units. The name is derived from the number hundred.In England a hundred was the division of a shire for administrative purposes under the common law. Originally, a hundred was supposed to contain approximately one hundred households; it was further divided into tithings, which likewise contained ten. Compare with township.
In Sweden a hundred, or hundare, was an administrative division of a landskap. Initially the hundred refered a hundred men under arms, that were raised and supported by the inhabitants of the hundred. The use of hundreds was limited to Svealand and the region around lake Mälaren. In the 14th century the hundreds were converted in to another division that one of härad, which was used in Götaland and other parts of the country.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | TOPE, v. To tipple, booze, swill, soak, guzzle, lush, bib, or swig. In the individual, toping is regarded with disesteem, but toping nations are in the forefront of civilization and power. When pitted against the hard-drinking Christians the absemious Mahometans go down like grass before the scythe. In India one hundred thousand beef- eating and brandy-and-soda guzzling Britons hold in subjection two hundred and fifty million vegetarian abstainers of the same Aryan race. With what an easy grace the whisky-loving American pushed the temperate Spaniard out of his possessions! From the time when the Berserkers ravaged all the coasts of western Europe and lay drunk in every conquered port it has been the same way: everywhere the nations that drink too much are observed to fight rather well and not too righteously. Wherefore the estimable old ladies who abolished the canteen from the American army may justly boast of having materially augmented the nation's military power. |
