The Insular Arrogance Of The English Character

Above All Nations Is Humanity.

Personality Is Lower Than Partiality.

Who Can Doubt That Between The English And The French, Between The Scotch And The Irish, There Are Differences Of Character Which Have Profoundly Affected And Still Affect The Course Of History?
