different　personage　from　the　Lord　of　the　Manor。　And　there　are　no
  signs　as　yet　even　of　the　beginnings　of　great　towns　and　cities。
  Still　the　assertion；　which　is　the　text　of　Dr　Sullivan's　treatise；
  may　be　hazarded　without　rashness；　that　everything　in　the　Germanic
  has　at　least　its　embryo　in　the　Celtic　land　system。　The　study　of
  the　Brehon　law　leads　to　the　same　conclusion　pointed　at　by　so　many
  branches　of　modern　research。　It　conveys　a　stronger　impression
  than　ever　of　a　wide　separation　between　the　Aryan　race　and　races
  of　other　stocks；　but　it　suggests　that　many；　perhaps　most；　of　the
  differences　in　kind　alleged　to　exist　between　Aryan　sub…races　are
  really　differences　merely　in　degree　of　development。　It　is　to　be
  hoped　that　contemporary　thought　will　before　long　make　an　effort
  to　emancipate　itself　from　those　habits　of　levity　in　adopting
  theories　of　race　which　it　seems　to　have　contracted。　Many　of　these
  theories　appear　to　have　little　merit　except　the　facility　which
  they　give　for　building　on　them　inferences　tremendously　out　of
  proportion　to　the　mental　labour　which　they　cost　the　builder。
