The state of England under her last Anglo- Saxon kings closely resembled the state of France under the last Carlovingian, and the first Capetian princes. The crown was feeble, the great nobles were strong and turbulent. The latest conquerors of this island were also the bravest and the best. I do not except even the Romans.
There are some mosquitoes and flies, but they are not especially troublesome, and there are no poisonous reptiles. The population is mostly native, five sixths white, one sixth colored. The white population is almost entirely of Anglo Saxon descent.
Opposite to San Francisco, on the coast of that ocean, lie the wealthy but decrepit empires of China and Japan. Numerous groups of islets stud the larger part of the intervening sea, and form convenient stepping-stones for the progress of commerce or ambition. The intercourse of traffic between these ancient Asiatic monarchies, and the young Anglo- American Republic, must be rapid and extensive.
Not many years before the reign of the Confessor, the laws of the great Canute against witchcraft and charms, the worship of stones, fountains, runes by ash and elm, and the incantations that do homage to the dead, were obviously rather intended to apply to the recent Danish converts, than to the Anglo- Saxons, already subjugated for centuries, body and soul, to the domination of the Christian monks.
The unity among the Catholics, so full of promise, was soon broken up; and those who had met each other in such a brotherly spirit in the day when the native chiefs and Anglo- Irish lords assembled together at Tara, who swore then that the division of centuries should exist no longer, began to look upon each other again as enemies.
His impressions of this 'paradise of Anglo- Indians' were given shortly afterwards in the following words:
Ivan Chen, Sir Henry McMahon, and Lonchen Shatra as plemipotentiaries representing China, Great Britain, and Tibet, respectively. The following is the substance of the Tibetan proposals: Tibet shall be an independent State, repudiating the Anglo- Chinese Convention of 1906.
That's French, Mandy," he added triumphantly, "an' it means a gem, a jool, an' that's what she is a regler ruby!" "It don't sound like French," said Amanda doubtfully. "That French feller," replied Nal, with the fine scorn of the Anglo- Saxon, "him as keeps the 'Last Chance' saloon, pronounces it By-Jew, but he's as ignorant as a fool, an' By-Jo seems to come kind o' nateral."
It was occupied by two ladies who sat half buried in travelling bags, rugs, baskets, and shawl straps, such as women who are not of the Anglo Saxon races love.
In the Anglo- Saxon, especially the Anglo-Saxon of the Southern United States, abides no such Gallic frankness as moved a Jean-Jacques. Southern memoirs always sound like the conversation between two maiden ladies, nothing intimate, simply a few general remarks designed to show from what nice families they came. So the Captain wrote nothing.
