Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Colonialism In Shanghai the terror is extreme. Gold has advanced upwand of 25 per cent, being eagerly sought for hoarding; silver has so far disappeared that none could be obtained to pay the China dues on the British vessels requiring port clearance; and in consequence of which Mr. Alcock has consented to become responsible to the Chinese authorities for the payment of these dues, on receipt of East India Company's bills, or other approved securities. The scar city oi the' precious metals is one of the most unfavourable features, when viewed in reference to the immediate future of commerce, as this abstraction occurs precisely at that period when their use is most needed, to enable the tea and silk buyers to go into the interior and effect their purchases, for which a large portion of bullion is paid in advance, to enable the producers to carry on their operations. At this period of the year it is usual to begin making arrangements for the new teas, whereas at present nothing is talked of but the means of protecting person and property, all transactions being at a stand. If the means are not applied to secure the leaves in April and May, the early crop, which includes all the finer descriptions, both of black and green teas, will be as much lost as unreaped wheat at Christmas.

Download or read book The Colonial Period Classic Reprint written by Charles McLean Andrews and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonial Period No attempt has been made in this volume to write a history of the individual colonies or to present in any form a narrative of the events of colonial history. Many familiar details have been omitted and all military undertakings in which the colonists were engaged have been passed over with very little comment. In dealing with colonial history in general, three factors stand out for conspicuous treatment: the mother country, the colonies, and the relations between them. It has been customary in the past, when writing of the colonial period of American history, to minimize the importance of the first and last factors, and to lay stress, at least until the period of the Revolution is reached, upon the colonies, their institutions, and life.

Download or read book Colonial Days written by Wilbur F. Gordy and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Days: A Historical Reader The large place given to history during the last fifteen years, in both the elementary and the high school, is significant. It indicates a fuller realization of the importance of this branch of study in developing the social instincts. Through the study of history the narrow contact of every-day life is supplemented by a knowledge of the struggles and achievements of all humanity. The pupil shares and profits by the experience of the race; and by making the racial life his own, he gains social insight and social disposition, which prepare him to render his highest service to the community. In the lower grades of the elementary school most of the work in history should be in the form of oral language lessons, and the subject-matter should be presented in story form. The concrete, the personal, and the dramatic, appealing in a special way to children, should be made prominent; for through this avenue alone can the teacher reach the imaginative and the emotional life of the child. But as early as the fourth grade reading should supplement the oral work. With this idea in view the present volume, the second of a series, has been prepared. The title gives some indication of its scope and purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Days It is now nearly a third of a century since the Union Colony was organized and the settlement of Greeley and its immediate vicinity began. Those who actively participated in the stirring scenes of that unique and interesting movement are rapidly passing away. To young or middle-aged people, those who were born here within the first few years, or came here as children, there are still indistinct memories of those early days. But to a large majority now living here, and to all who came at a comparatively recent date, the struggle for an existence under the adverse conditions of the time, and all the joys and sorrows, the hardships, the successes and failures connected with that experiment in the desert, are traditions merely, and all knowledge of them but that preserved in the printed page will soon be lost.

Download or read book Classics in Post Colonial Worlds written by Lorna Hardwick and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical material was traditionally used to express colonial authority, but it was also appropriated by imperial subjects to become first a means of challenging colonialism and then a rich field for creating cultural identities that blend the old and the new. Nobel prize-winners such as Derek Walcott and Seamus Heaney have rewritten classical material in their own cultural idioms while public sculpture in southern Africa draws on Greek and Roman motifs to represent histories of African resistance and liberation. These developments are explored in this collection of essays by international scholars, who debate the relationship between the culture of Greece and Rome and the changes that have followed the end of colonial empires.

Download or read book Colonies and Colonial Federations Classic Reprint written by Edward John Payne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonies and Colonial Federations IN the original issue of The English Citizen a single volume, entitled Colonies and Dependencies, was devoted to Imperial relations, and most of the space was taken up by the Indian Empire, less than eighty pages being allotted to the Colonies and Colonial questions. Much of what was then written has by this time become obsolete, and in view of the greatly increased importance of the Colonies, the deeper interest which recent events have aroused in all that concerns them, and the gravity of the issues pending in connection with them, it has been decided to deal with them separately, and in a volume of larger compass. With the object of convey ing a more vivid impression of the subject in its various aspects the writer has in each chapter approached it from a different point of view. It is hoped that by passing from one point of view to another the reader will be enabled to form a better idea of the Empire as a living and working whole, destined to cohesion and co-operation, and probably to a greater future than can be foreseen under the imperfect conditions of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Colonial Free-Lance I thank God I am no coward, else that which I am about to write would he unwritten for loss of subject matter. Nor do I make a boast of my bravery, seeing it is a thing born in a man and not of his own making. For, as it ill becomes a woman to take to herself the credit of her beauty (for the reason that it is fashioned by a power not her own), so would it appear vainglorious in me to laud myself for not playing the part of a child when necessity demanded the action of a man. And, furthermore, if in the following I seem to make much of my quickness of brain and power of arm, let me here disclaim all unjust pride in the matter, for my size and strength are things I owe to a cause higher than myself, and as for my wits, why, they are but those God gave me, and they worked as he saw fit to have them. As for bravery, I take it to he as much a part of a man as the fashion of his nose or set of his chin - by no means a thing for which he can claim self-merit (though I know the world holds a different opinion), and is but little more than sound nerves soundly strung, having nothing to do with rectitude of purpose.

Download or read book A Colonial Reformer Classic Reprint written by Rolf Boldrewood and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Colonial Reformer When Mr. Ernest Neuchamp, younger, of Neuchampstead, Bucks, quitted the ancient roof-tree of his race, for a deliberate conflict with fortune, in a far land, he carried with him a purpose which went far to neutralise doubt and depression. A crusader rather than a colonist, his lofty aims embraced far more than the ordinary sordid struggle with unkind nature, with reluctant success. Such might be befitting aspirations for eager and rude adventurers, half speculators, half buccaneers. They might fitly strive and drive - bargain and save - gamble, overreach, overwork themselves and one another, as he doubted not all colonists did in their proverbially hurried, feverish lives. Rut for a Neuchamp, of Neuchampstead, was reserved more chivalric exertion - a loftier destiny. As his ancestors had devoted themselves (with more energy than discretion, said tradition) to the refinement and elevation of the Anglo-Saxons - when first the banner of Tancred of Neuchamp floated over the Euckingham-shire meadows, - so would his lineal descendant diffuse 'sweetness and light' among a vigorous but necessarily uncultured community, emerging from his unselfish toil, after a few years, with a modest competency, and the reputation of an Australian Manco Capac of the south. Ernest Neuchamp fully endorsed the dictum that 'colonisation was heroic work.' He superadded to this assent a conviction that he was among the heroes destined to leave a glorious memory in the annals of the colony which he intended to honour. For the somewhat exceptional though not obsolete character of reformer, he was fitted by natural tendency, derived probably from hereditary predisposition. The Neuchanips had always been leading and staunch reformers, from a period whence 'the memory of man goeth not to the contrary.' Of Merrie England they would have secured a much larger slice had they not been, after Hastings, more deeply concerned in inflicting reforms upon the stubborn or despondent Saxons than in hunting after manorial privileges with a view to extension of territory.
