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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the British Empire It is, perhaps, needless to say, that this book is not intended to compete with the standard works on the Constitution which have been produced by eminent writers, such as the late Sir William Anson, the late Bishop Stubbs, or Professor Dicey, happily still with us. Still less does it claim to rival the classical monographs on the various aspects of the Constitution which are the work of experts in the strict sense. It is written only in the hope that those who have not yet the leisure, or who have not yet arrived at the age, to appreciate these larger works, will be enabled by it to look forward to that advantage at a later date. And the immediate prospect of a largely increased electorate, combined with the great stimulus of interest in problems of government produced by the war, would seem to make that hope reasonable. For the many defects of the book, the writer will not apologize; for lie knows that critics best able to appreciate the difficulty of writing it, will be the readiest to forgive them. He will merely deprecate the suggestion that the book is a "precis" of larger treatises. So far as it goes, it is original both in plan and execution, and from first-hand material. For neither plan nor execution is any one but the writer responsible. Nevertheless, it is the waiter's keen pleasure, as well as his bounden duty, to tender his grateful thanks to those acquaintances and friends who have been ungrudging with their help on the matters upon which he has appealed to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Democracy Any inquiry into the course of democratic progress in England would be confessedly imsy and superficial which did not endeavour, however brie y, to indicate the nature of the movement in its earlier stages. Is English democracy of home growth, or does it owe its chief impulse to the cognate movement in France? Was it propelled onwards by a conscious striving after new ideals, or was it merely the result of discontent aroused by material discomforts and unjust laws? Did our Radical reformers claim that they were initiating a new era for humanity at large, or were they content with redressing the ills of the time? To these and similar questions it is hoped that this little work will furnish some reply, not, as a rule, explicitly and in set terms, but rather by means of an unbiassed narrative which will leave the reader free to draw his own conclusions as to the drift of events, the full significance of which cannot as yet be fully realized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Empire and Democracy (1837-1913) The England of Queen Victoria was a hive of industry, and her people boasted that their country was the workshop of the world. But it had become so within the span of a single life. The Queen's grandfather, George III, had ascended the throne of a rural England, a land of placid villages and quiet market-towns, sleepy and not unprosperous, but intellectually stagnant and politically quiescent. Save in a rare moment of national crisis the horizon of peasant and yeoman, parson and squire, was bounded by cattle-fairs and quarter sessions, the land tax and the price of corn. Then the Industrial Revolution had brought stir and change. Vast economic forces had re-shaped the social framework, transformed the texture, and changed the temper of national life. The subjects of Queen Victoria toiled in factories and workshops, or in mines far from the light of day; they dwelt in towns blackened with smoke, alive with the whirr of the loom, and noisy with the clang of the hammer; and the fruits of their labour found a market at the ends of the earth.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of the Indo-British Commonwealth I had the opportunity of reading the manuscript of this little book. I was so impressed with its outlook that I have asked leave to write a few lines on the subject. To the whole of the diagnosis of the present state of affairs throughout the British Empire, I do not profess to commit myself. I do not know enough, and I do not think anyone can know enough, to be certain of all the ground. What interests me is the breadth of outlook, and a certain quality in the estimate of results, amounting to brilliance. The author sees, as others of us do, that the great war has precipitated what was already in solution. There is now a definite residuum which was not distinctly observable earlier. This is likely, not only to increase, but to be of increasing importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy at the Crossways: A Study in Politics and History, With Special Reference to Great Britain George, M. Clemenceau, and Signor Orlando stand prominent. Their common burden is excellently summed up by Mr. G. N. Barnes in a fine New Year's appeal to Labour: Democracy is at one and the same time on its trial, and in the crucible. If this war is lost by the Allies the cause of democracy is under eclipse for generations to come, and we leave to our children a heritage of trouble. Among the apocalyptic events four stand forth pre-eminent. They are (1) the Russian Revolution of March; (2) the entry of America into the war in April (3) the Italian debacle of October, and (4) the disintegration of Russia at the Close of the year. The first two events made plain the same fundamental fact which was emphasised in the great speeches of the year, viz. The fact that the war is primarily a mortal combat between national democracy and imperial autocracy. The second two, in tragic disaster and suicidal fiasco, afforded painful demonstrations of the sad truth that democracy's worst enemies are to be found in the ranks of its own professed Champions.
