To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is often said that we British are a mixed 24 NATIONALITY AND RACE and mongrel collection of types and breeds ; the truth is that as regards physical type the inhabitants of the British Isles are the most uniform of all the large nationalities of Europe. All British Nationalities are of the North Sea Stock The statement which I have just made, that Britons are really a uniform folk, seems altogether at variance with the teaching of history. What I am to say now will explain a discrepancy whic...h, in its essence, is only superficial. Our written history opens with thej^oman invasion and occupation of Britain ; it w^as an ' occupation ' or ' planta- tion ', not a true colonization. On the other hand, the Saxon and Danish invasions ended in widely spread and true colonizations of Britain. The Norman invasion, on the other hand, was of the nature of a plantation. I will make the difference between the various forms of invasion apparent presently. There have been, too, flocks of immi- grant refugees at various times.
