Excerpt from The British Race

Most of us derive our knowledge of the races in the British Islands from historians who represent the doctrines of an earlier generation and seem to overlook the fact that of late years the young and growing science of anthropology, by careful observations and exact methods, has thrown a new and searching light on the real nature of the British people, from which it appears that current notions on the subject are far from correct.

This little book is, I believe, the first attempt to bring these important results and news of modern anthropologists before the general public in familiar language, and thus redeem the oversight of historians or teachers. Perhaps it will tend to destroy some errors regarding the origin and pedigree of the nation which have infected life and literature for ages.
