Book excerpt: Excerpt from Israel in Britain: A Brief Statement of the Evidences in Proof of the Israelitish Origin of the British Race There has been much written upon the asserted identity of the British race with the Israelites of the Ten Tribes, but it has failed to convince many pious Christians, chiefly because the arguments in support of this identity have often been mixed up with speculations which, however interesting, and perhaps important to those who already believe in this identity, are unsupported by sufficient evidence, and liable, therefore, to be seized upon by the sceptical reader as reasons for rejecting the whole argument. The subject has also been sometimes discredited by superficial and illogical conclusions based on imperfect knowledge, and by the wild and fanciful theories of some of its supporters, which have seemed to justify sober-minded enquirers in throwing aside the question as one only fitted for cranks and persons of unbalanced minds. It may also be remarked that there are persons in our midst who would do all in their power to throw discredit and contempt upon a subject which, if true and generally accepted, would go far to restore the waning belief of multitudes in the truth of the Bible, and to re-unite the people of a kingdom which it is the object of our enemies to break up and destroy. But the doubtful statements and theories which tend to discredit the subject are merely accretions which are liable to gather round any great truth, and are in no way essential to the true arguments in its favour. In the following pages the author has therefore excluded all doubtful statements and theories, and has endeavoured to state as briefly as possible those arguments, scriptural and historical, which may be expected to appeal to anyone with an open mind.
