This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commonwealth Reconstructed The justice of my representation will be the more readily disputed because there seems, just now, to be a lull in the storm of our political afflictions, which sanguine and superficial observers readily take for a lasting change in the weather. But, while I am ready to believe that the public business is more honestly conducted to-day in the majority of our capitols and city halls than it was in 1870, I can see no ground for ex pecting that the amelioration will be permanent. Particular enormities may never be repeated, but the species is the native and inevitable product of our present political system, and will multiply in number and variety till the defects of that system are corrected. Moreover, no improvement whatever appears in the competency of the men who are put in charge of the public interests. Nevertheless, the topic in the ensuing discussion where I have most failed to satisfy myself is this very matter of setting forth the existing state of public affairs. The sketch is not only scanty, but broken, unskilful and most incomplete. But I console myself with the reflection that, as no painter was ever yet able to spread upon the canvas the common brute land scape in all its variety of motion, form and color, so must literary art forever fail perfectly to portray the complex, ever changing and innumerable phenomena of political society. I comfort myself also with this, that intelligent readers will easily be able, by recollection and the conclusions of reasonable analogy, to fill out the picture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of the Commonwealth The shorter report is now given to the public on the sole responsibility of the writer himself, because no other way was apparent in which it could be submitted to their judgment. Throughout he has worked in the light cast by the many sided criticisms of the Round Table groups whose numerous members re ect every shade of Opinion. Without these materials the report could never have been Written in its present form; but the writer himself has, of necessity, bad to decide what to reject and hat to accept. He has no authority for stating, therefore, that the report represents any opinion but his own. The best materials, indeed, have often been furnished by colleagues who would hesitate to accept his con elusions as a whole or even in part. It is for that reason that he alone can make himself responsible for its issue to the public, who are invited to judge its conclusions purely in the light of the facts and reasons upon which they are based.

Download or read book The Commonwealth at War Classic Reprint written by A. F. Pollard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commonwealth at War Half of the following essays have been published as leading articles in "The Times" Literary Supplement, and of the remainder most have appeared in the "Yale Review," the "Contemporary Review," the "Westminster Gazette," and "History"; and I am indebted to the proprietors of these various periodicals for permission to reprint these papers. Their republication may serve to illustrate, among other things, that deceitfulness of human wishes and fallibility of human judgment which a great crisis inevitably enhances. But the history of erroneous opinion is an integral part of history; and the future historian of the great war will make little of its history if he confines his attention to actions, and ignores the public and private opinion which impeded or inspired them. Conventional history limits itself too much to what men and nations have done, and takes too little account of what they hoped to do and thought they were doing. For deeds and thoughts react upon one another and together make up the human factor in human affairs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sea Commonwealth and Other Papers Classic Reprint written by Arthur Percival Newton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Commonwealth, and Other Papers The papers that are here collected were originally delivered as lectures in an Imperial Studies course in the University of London, King's College, during the Session 1917-18. The original title of the course was The Empire and the Outer World, and it was designed to draw the attention of its hearers from an excessive preoccupation with the momentous events taking place on the continent of Europe to a remem brance that Britain's true concern is rather with the affairs of the world as a whole than with the narrower details of purely territorial questions with which the land powers of Europe are so intimately concerned. Unavoidable difficulties prevented the course having so great a unity of subject and treatment as is usually aimed at by the Imperial Studies Committee, but the papers contain so much of interest in themselves that it has been thought well to collect and publish them in a companion volume to others in the Imperial Studies Series. While the volume was passing through the press the ranks of higher journalism sustained a serious loss through the untimely death of Mr. I. E. Mackenzie, one of the last of whose tasks was the correction of the proofs Of his article on The Colonial Aspirations of Germany. It is impossible to put forth these pages without a word of sincere regret for the passing of so accomplished a collaborator. A. P. N.

The greater importance of the upper country was further recognized by measures for enlarging occupation by founding a third presidio, at San Francisco, with a mission attached, and for aiding it by reenforcements, and by colonization. The first foundation in 1777 was the now prominent town of San J os , which set a laudable example to the mission farms by under taking the first irrigation work of any magnitude.
