Bulgars as a People.

According to Professor Rosier, in Encyclopedia Britannica, the Bulgars were originally a people pt Finnish, or Samoyeds, race. The Bulgars are not ethnologically related to the AngloSaxons, Dutch, Swedes, Danes and Norwegians, who are people of pure Teutonic or Scandinavian stock. The Bulgars, to the extent that they have Finnish blood in their veins, belong to the Yellow, or Mongolian breed, while the races just enumerated are the very cream of the white breed of men. On account, however, of the endless mining that has gone on during the time that has elapsed since the Bulgars broke into Europe, it would be difficult to say what sort of blood at present predominates in them.
