Extract from a review of Dr. JOHN FITZPATRICK’S “This Realm, This England":—­

“From a Scotsman, we deprecate the definition of ‘This Realm’ as ‘England,’ and would suggest to the learned doctor that he would have done nothing derogatory to himself, even in the eyes of Englishmen, if he had used the really correct and comprehensive name Britain.”—­Scots Pictorial.
