Excerpt from History of the Union the Kingdoms of Great-Britain and Ireland: With an Introductory Survey of Hibernian Affairs, Traced From the Times of Celtic Colonisation

From the natural position of Britain and Ireland, we might have expectetl to observe, in the records of the earliest times, the prevalence ed a poiitical cou nexion between the islands, if we were no: taught by general history, that countries of considerable extent, iong after the era of their original population, remained under the divided sway of petty princes, who did not look far beyond the limits of their own territories. Such, we may conclude, were the Asiatic govern. Meats which immediately succeeded the patriarchal system. Such was the state of polity in Africa, after it had been peopled by the descendants of Ham and Europe, colonised by the posterity of Japheth, exhi bited similar features.
