Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace is no believer in the noble "Anglo-Saxon." Writing to Mr. Morrison Davidson apropos of the receipt of his latest volume, "The Annals of Toil," Dr. Wallace observes:--"I have read through your intensely interesting, though too brief, account of the bad days that are past, though their inheritance of evil still lives with us. I was interested to find your argument in favour of the English being more Britons than Saxons, and I feel sure that you are right. A populous nation such as England must have been, after 400 years of Roman occupation and peaceable development, could not possibly have been exterminated by bands of invaders coming over sea in the small vessels of the time, to say nothing of the fact that they brought few women; so that, if they had killed all the men, we should still be half British. I am inclined to think we must be really five-sixths of British or Celtic blood. I could have wished your book had been a little fuller, but as it is it supplies a want, and we should be all very thankful to you for writing it."
