Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pillars of Empire: Studies and Impressions In a book which is dedicated to Empire Builders it is obviously inexpedient to include mere politicians. Mere politicians are for the most part concerned with essentially minor interests. Most days they have to battle with various divisions of the political community violently divided in their aims and their theories - some of them active on purely party grounds, others animated by personal rivalry, none of them supremely anxious as to the general structure and mutual relations of that great aggregate of free nations which we call the British Empire. Though this would apply to the majority of those who make their voices heard in the House of Commons, or who employ their eloquence on provincial platforms, it would not be true, of course, of leaders, who are bound to have wider aims.
