Book Description

Excerpt from Schism in the Anglo-Saxon Race Celt seems to have lingered long in the clan state and to have had his character permanently mdulded by it, while the Anglo Saxon as a sea-rover came early out of that state and was trained 'from the infancy of the race to self-government. In enterprise and peril anglo-saxon will be the truest of comrades to Anglo Saxon. But except under strong compression they are apt to fly apart. Even in travelling they hold aloof from each other. They quarrel easily and do not easily forget. Their pride perpetuates their estrangement. In their spleen and factious ness they take the part of outsiders againt each other.

It is thus that it is in danger of forfeiting __tl_1e Mleadershipfiflof civiliza tion to inferior but more gregarious races, to the detriment of civilization as well as to its own disparagement. The most signal and disastrous instance of this weakness is the schism in the race caused by the American Revolution with the long estrangement that has followed, concerning which I am to speak this evening.
