Evidence:
'I was astonished to find the following in the Quarterly Review: - "England has Carlyle". "There is no other English name to be placed beside that of Carlyle." Carlyle was a "Scot", not an Englishman, and protest in the strongest terms possible against any Scot being called by the infamous appellation of "Englishman". "Anglo-Saxon", "England", and "Englishman" are the most horrid and abominable appellations the tongue of man can utter.'
