ANGLO-SAXON HISTORY ILLUSTRATED BY TOPOGRAPHICAL NOMENCLATURE .
ON THE INTERMIXTURE OF THE WELSH POPULATION" WITH THE ANGLO-SAXON . It is the constitution of theories set up to serve a purpose that , while they seem to fit the occasion they do hot fit any other . Thus , with the theory of Welsh intermixture , although it serves to make out a case , yet , when we apply the principle involved in it to the other eases , it breaks dovvn . The great south-east region of Britain , within the chalk range , at least , was peopled during the Roman time ,

not by Welsh Celts , but by Belgians ; and there is , c & ethnological necessity for a population of Welsh Celts to be procured and propagated on that area . In fact , few will doubt that the Belgian population became extinct . So , the western population was Iberian , and that became extinct . In the same way the pre-Belgian population was extinguished and gave way to the Belgian population , the Belgian population was extinguished and gave way to the Romanized
population ; and the Romanized population was extinguished and gave way to the English population . Within a comparatively limited period the Welsh Celts spread over all South Britain within the Roman wall ; and it was with this new and thin population , in its newest settlements in the east , and not in its strongholds in the west , that the English invaders had to deal . It was thus easy , as the Chronicle relates , for the Germanic invaders to cope with the forces arrayed against them ; and the progress of invasion was comparatively rapid till the old Welsh country in the west was reached ; and then conquest became slow , till it was stayed at the boundaries of Wales . The Welsh were , at the Roman decline , as much an intrusive population in south-east Britain as the English ; they were , in every respect weaker , and they had to give way . In the mountains they were strong , and although politically subdued , they retain their nationality to this day .
ON THE QUESTION OF MIXED RACES
The theory of mixed races has become a favourite one in England , and its creed is this—that the English must be a mixed race , and that to account for the qualities of the English , a mixed race must be the best , and that a pure race is inferior to a mixed race . To produce the best race in the world , physically , morally , and politically , a mixture of the Germanic and Celtic races is most effee-
