Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial England So much being premised, the only necessary condition for useful reflection on the past is that the historical sketch should be fair and true; that is, that it should not neglect to notice the changes of opinion which have taken place on the subject-matter, that it should rise above mere party watchwords, and, however briefly they may be treated, should give their due proportion to events. In even such a summary as the present it is hoped that the above characteristics may be discovered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lost Possessions of England: Essays in Imperial History Neither the events here recorded, nor the similar events which are only alluded to, have influenced to any considerable extent the course of history. Their importance to us lies in the lessons which they enforce, and these are as easily deducible from the occupations here treated of as from double their number; it is a case where the half is greater than the whole: These lessons are: 1. The advantage to a sea Power like Great Britain of an extended Empire - an advantage very bluntly pointed out to Sir William Draper in the secret instructions furnished to that officer prior to his departure for Manila. 2. The value in Imperial policy of the sound business principle of not throwing away rubbish - as illustrated by Tangier and the present situation in Morocco. 3. The necessity of listening to the advice of the man on the spot - by not doing which we lost Java. 4. The paramount importance of studying local climatic conditions - a neglect of which precaution cost us five thousand men in Cuba.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 1 Confessor, who takes care of the king's con science, and imposes very hard penances upon him when he has sinned. But for some time past, our kings have been accustomed to turn their chaplains really to good use, by employing them constantly as their writing clerks. In this capacity the most irnportant matters of public business must pass through their hands. Hence they have much power, and a power which was 'totally unknown to our ancestors; and in this innovating age, their influence has been greatly 'increased by a fashion which our good king Edward has brought from France. He has caused a great seal to be made, on which you may see his effigy, in his imperial robes; and to all the writs or written letters, which issue in his name, an impression from that seal is appended.

Book Synopsis The Reorganization of the British Empire (Classic Reprint) by : George R. Parkin

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reorganization of the British Empire It is perhaps hard for Americans, imbued with traditions of the struggle by which their country threw off the yoke of Jan oppressive English Government, to understand how completely, and for what strong reasons, the relations between Great Britain and her present colonies are those of profound sympathy and warm affection. The mother' land regards with natural pride the energy which is planting free political' institutions and extending civilization in so many quarters of the globe; which is opening -up such vast areas of virgin soil for British occupation, and which, by so doing, is preparing for her a solution of'the difficult problem pressing upon her at home from, dense population and limited land - a solution such as no other of the overcrowded nations of Europe can hope for. To the richness of her own past the colonies open a boundless vista of hope for the future. The colonies, on the other hand, feel equally proud of their unbroken connection with the grand traditions of the mother land. Little has occurred to mar the strength of this sentimental attachment. They have enjoyed the advantages of being members of a great empire without, as yet, bearing the severer weight of its burdens. All the perfect freedom of self-government for which they have asked has been ungrudgingly allowed. The population which is flowing into their waste lands comes chiefly from the mother country not driven out by religious persecution or political tyranny, but the over flow of a fecund race, impelled by the spirit of enterprise, or in search of the larger breathing-space of new continents. In almost every case they come to strengthen the loyalty of the colony. The emigrant is encouraged or even assisted in leaving the old Britain; he is heartily welcomed in the new Britain beyond the seas. For generations afterwards his descendants speak of going home without feeling it necessary to explain that by home they mean England, Scotland or Ireland. Great Britain's new colonial policy has thus given a' new cohesion to the empire. Even in the case of a distinct race, with strong race instincts, it has achieved a marked success. French-canadians are not only con tent with their political condition, but warmly loyal to British connection. Their greatest statesman emphasized, but scarcely exaggerated, this atti tude of mind when he described himself as an Englishman speaking French. So high an authority as Cardinal Manning told me not long since that F rench-canadian bishops and clergy had over and over again assured him that their people were practically a unit in preferring British to French connection. There is no doubt that in respect of either religious freedom or political security the preference is justified. The lapse of years bring into stronger relief the truth of Montalembert's remark, that the Frenchmen of Canada had gained under British rule a freedom which the Frenchmen of France never knew.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imperial America IT is a tendency of this as of every age to be carried away by catchwords. Not all our bad intellectual qualities are of modern origin and development; every historical period has had its honourable states men and its rascally place-hunters. On the other hand, there is one characteristic peculiar to the pre sent time - namely, that larger numbers of people can now be carried away by catchwords than formerly. Our hitherto inert masses, rural and urban, are moving; and that is the significant fact of modern times. The helots were little stirred by the reasons, chiefly economic, which resulted in Sparta's heading an earlier confederacy than America witnessed and the number of Englishmen who were really interested in the Marprelate Controversy was not so large as the historians of sixteenth-century England would make it appear. Patriarchalism, feudalism, the leadership of aristo cratic families - these were some of the factors that formerly prevented the masses from becoming pro minent. The influence of such factors is now at an end. It may be suspended merely; or it may be extinguished for ever. At all events, we must recog nise that it does not at present exist as an active force.

It is a defence which is necessary; for welt-politik meant in his eyes the building of the German Fleet, and the German Fleet, with its avowed challenge to the secular policy of Great Britain, meant the estrangement of England and Germany, and as has now been made clear to all, the estrangement from England meant the almost complete isolation of Germany in Europe.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and the Results of the Imperial Federation Movement in England While this belief was held by most public men, and by many writers on colonial subjects from the early part of the century, its influence was combined with that of another theory before it began to affect the practical action of the government. This was the doctrine that the colonies were nothing but a burden, and that it would be better for England to be rid of them. It is impossible to trace here in any detail the rise and growth of this doctrine, interesting as it might be to do so. It undoubtedly had its origin, like the other idea, in the trou bles of the American revolutionary period. Briefly stated by Adam Smith, just as the war, was beginning,2 and by Dean Tucker a little later,3 it received still more complete and strik ing development from Jeremy Bentham; in 1793, in a paper addressed to the revolutionary government in France, but not published at the time. After an interval of about thirty years, the idea again made its appearance, and this time apparently with some considerable popular support.4 It appeared in the reviews, and was heard in the House of Commons. A writer in the Quarterly Review} of January, considered the no tion prevalent enough to deserve an answer, and indicated its character by saying: It may not be amiss to advert to some objections occasionally advanced against these dependencies altogether. It is sometimes insisted that colonies are burdens. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
