Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Britain and the Empire This book is intended primarily as a text-book for pupils in the public schools. Believing that an elementary text-book on history need not touch upon every event of the period treated, the author has not hesitated to omit all reference to many topics that should be fully treated in a book for more advanced students. The aim has been to touch only upon those events which are of primary importance, and especially upon those which can be invested with some degree of interest. As far as possible the bio graphical method has been adopted events have been grouped about great men. At the same time it has been kept in mind that the purpose of this book is to co-ordinate in the minds of pupils the knowledge they have, rather than to furnish them with additional information. As the title indicates, special stress has been laid upon the building and the progress of the Empire. The illustrations have been chosen with the greatest care and with the object of assisting in the understanding of the text. The author wishes to thank the many friends to whom he is indebted for information and suggestions. He is under special obligations to the officials of the Parliamentary Library of Canada. Valuable books, pamphlets, and copies of original documents were freely placed at his disposal. I H. P. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England and the British Empire From the deposition of Richard the Second to the virtual abdication of James the Second, every act of national resistance was accomplished by the union of classes, and was founded upon some principle of legal right for which there was legal precedent. Out of the traditional and almost instinctive assertion of the popular privileges have come new developments of particular reforms, each adapted to its own age, but all springing out of that historical experience which we recognise as Constitutional. In the words of Macaulay, we are, in the history of England, to contemplate the steps by which the England of Domes (lay Book, the England of the Curfew and the Forest Laws, the England of crusaders, monks, schoolmen, astrologers, serfs, and outlaws, became the England which we know and love, the classic ground of liberty and philosophy, the school of all knowledge, the mart of all trade. The charter of Henry Beauclerc, the Great Charter, the first assembling of the House of Commons, the extinction of personal slavery, the separa tion from the See of Rome, the Petition of Right, the Habeas Corpus Act, the Revolution Of 1688, the establishment of the liberty of un licensed printing, the abolition of religious disabilities, the reform Of the representative system, - all these seem to be the successive stages of one great revolution; nor can we fully comprehend any one of these memorable events unless we look at it in connection with those which preceded, and with those which followed it. Each of those great and ever-memorable struggles, Saxon against Norman, Villein against lord, Roundhead against Cavalier, Dissenter against Churchman, Manchester against Old Sarum, was, in its own order and season, a struggle, on the result of which were staked the dearest interests of the human race.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundation and Growth of the British Empire It is in my opinion a mistake in such a text-book to deal extensively in generalisations and the discussion of abstract principles. What is necessary to leave a permanent im pression on the mind of a possibly indifferent student is an abundance of vivid detail carefully selected so as to concentrate attention on the salient features of the story. In this respect it is important to discriminate between the requirements of the advanced and the elementary student. Seeley's Growth of British Policy, for example, is fasci nating reading for one who already has the facts at his fingers' ends, but it would be of little interest to the average boy at school. If, therefore, one can succeed in so handling the subject that it will be studied from interest rather than compulsion, it will be safe to leave in great measure to the teacher the task of deducing general principles and correlating the facts. A good teacher, indeed, will stimulate his pupils to do this for themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of the British Empire It will be taken for granted, it is hoped, that this account of British expansion is not intended as an exhaustive study, but as an introduction to a part of modern history that has received altogether too little emphasis in the past in Ameri can schools and colleges. In accordance with this purpose, bibliographies have been appended to the chapters. They refer, it is believed, to the best selection of available books for further reading, although they do not pretend to include all the important works on British imperial growth. Biblio graphical data have been added in order that the titles may be more than names, and may lead to an acquaintance with the volumes themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of the British Empire There are so many School Histories of England already in existence, that it may perhaps seem presumptuous on the part of the authors of this' series to add six volumes more to the number. But they have their defence: the Oxford Manuals of English History are intended to serve a particular purpose. There are several good general histories already in use, and there are a considerable number of scattered 'epochs' or 'periods'. But there seems still to be room for a set of books which shall combine the virtues of both these classes. Schools often wish to take up only a certain portion of the history of England, and find one of the large general histories too bulky for their use. On the other hand, if they employ one of the isolated 'epochs' to which allusion has been made, they find in most cases that there is no succeeding work on the same scale and lines from which the scholar can continue his study and pass on to the next period, without a break in the continuity of his knowledge. The object of the present series is to provide a set of historical manuals of a' convenient size, and at a very moderate price. Each part is complete in itself, but as the volumes will be carefully fitted on to each other, so that the whole form together a single continuous history of England, it will be possible to use any two or more of them in successive terms or years at the option of the instructor. They are kept carefully to the same scale, and the editor has done his best to put before the various authors the necessity of a uniform method of treatment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of England, and the British Empire A narrative that takes into account. The expansion of England into Greater Britain necessarily carries the author far afield. To compress the story into a small manual like the present means that the topics to be discussed must be carefully chosen and a mass of interesting and even important materials must be excluded. The type of text-book that attempts to tell the story of national development with a fulness of detail is the despair of the teacher of history: the facts come in such throngs that very few of them are able to make any lastingimpression. The author has striven to avoid this by including such facts only as have seriously affected the course of English history or have definitely contributed to the building of the British Empire. It'is, of course, true that the demands of the narrative have frequently interfered with the con sistent application of this rule, but in the main it has been followed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Graphic History of the British Empire This library History of the British Empire is based on Dr. W. F. Collier's larger History of England. All the best features of the original work have been retained. At the same time, the narrative has been brought into harmony with the results of recent historical research, and has been continued to the' Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Its title - the graphic history - is justified not only by its picturesque style, but also by its contents and its plan. It is arranged, not according to dynasties and reigns, but according to the prominent features of each age, including rep resentative men as well as memorable events. It is a series of pictures showing, on a broad canvas and without too many details, the great movements - political, social, educational, and religious - which embody essentially the history of the British Islands and the British people. Special chapters treat of the social life and the constitutional features of each period while others are biographical, and others are literary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character of the British Empire Nearly all the great self-governing nations of the world are now combined in a desperate struggle against the scarcely-veiled military despotism of the Central European Powers, and the object of the struggle has been well defined by President Wilson as the securing of freedom for democracy, so that it shall be safe from the threats of militarist, so conquering empires. In the forefront of the group of States engaged in the defence of democracy stands the British Empire, the greatest dominion that has ever existed in history, which covers a quarter of the earth's surface, and in which a quarter of the earth's population is subject (at any rate, in form) to the rule of two small European islands. The very existence of this huge Empire seems to many people to stultify in some degree the cause for which the world's democracies are fighting. It seems, at first sight, to be simply the greatest example of that spirit of conquest and of military dominion against which we are striving. This is the view taken by some neutrals. "Imperialism is the enemy," says one Swiss writer; "whatever from it takes, German or Russian, British or French, it is equally the foe of free government." The Germans themselves make great play with this notion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical Geography of the British Empire Y object in writing this little book has been to present a general survey of the British empire as a whole, with the historical conditions, at least so far as they depend on geography, which have contributed to produce the present state of things. The historical geography of these islands of course goes very far back; in the rest of the empire the history, so far as it is English at all, is comparatively modern. In doing this I have tried to bring into special relief the unique character of the empire, both politically and geographically; for from this uniqueness a most impor tant inference logically follows: no historical precedents exist to guide us as to its probable future.

Firstly, as a colonial, my desire is to present a colonial view of the imperial idea, and, secondly, to endeavour to arouse among my countrymen, in the United Kingdom especially, a greater interest and pride in the Empire beyond the seas. My critics may point to the number of able works bearing directly or indirectly upon the British Empire which have been published within recent years, and it may even be said that I am repeating an oft-told tale, that many of the suggestions which I now put forward, with all due deference to these self-same critics, have been made before.

England obtained the largest share of the material advantages of the peace, whilst she lost credit by her ill faith in concealing her abandonment of her allies, and especially by giving up the Catalans to the vengeance of Philip of Spain. This brave people had been encouraged to assist the allies, with the under standing and assurance that they would be protected.

It is hardly necessary to say, therefore, that it was written entirely free from the inﬂuence of the controversy, and in a much calmer and more judicial frame of mind than would be possible now. Reperusal of the work has convinced me that no new facts have been brought to light in the interval to modify the position I then took; rather am I more firmly of the opinion that it one. For this reason I have decided to text, with only such alterations as are necessary to make the incorporated statistics the latest obtainable; and whenever I have desired to make fresh comment, I have done so in the form of a special footnote, thus making the second edition as nearly as possible an exact reproduction of the first.

We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.
