Excerpt from Dialect of the West Riding of Yorkshire: A Short History of Leeds and Other Towns
In Wales at the present day you may see two distinct types of men, say a (present) pre-historic Iber and an (modern) Ancient Briton. Nature is careless of the species, but provident of the type. It wants no Danish Ibsen to prove heredity as an iron law. We are all aware of the retreating brow of a Bourbon or the thick lip of a Hapsburg.
And it might have been supposed that the blending of various races would have obliterated the general type but the matriarchal principle is everlastingly evolved through the anabolic and katabolic energies of an archaic race In all countries, from time immemorial, there has been a con flict of higher white and lower coloured stock. Even specifically there may be found one of a family departing from the other members in feature, hair, gesture, and stature: with a little retrospective consideration it is trace able to a maternal ancestor. How often, on the bed of death, the bystanders remark How like his grandmother though we never noticed it before. Tennyson says this.
