French Huguenot Counsellor Le Loyer published a book in 1590 titled The Ten Lost Tribes Found and advocated the English Anglo-Saxon people being descendants of the Israelites. In the French newspaper Petit Parisien on June 24, 1913, said this about that book:

“This Le Loyer… wrote a big volume on a question that has often been raised, and that no one has ever been able to solve, that of knowing what have come of the ten lost tribes of the Jewish people… he showed that the ten tribes are not lost. They form, today the English people.”
