Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pedigree of the English People
The early annals OF britain and the Race rela tions of the English People are in our day gaining increasing attention. The liberalizing in?uence of science has relaxed many sturdy prejudices, and its light has so far dispelled historic superstitions, that a chance of obtaining a hearing is now afforded even when cherished national beliefs are sought to be dislodged.
The Author is not aware that the main positions he has laid down have ever been expressly advocated by any of our historians. The ground, it is true, is old, and the materials, always in great part at hand, have of late been much increased by the quarrying of our public archives; but no structure has hitherto been planned and reared.
