Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans and Africa, Their Aims on the Dark Continent and How They Acquired Their African Colonies After a survey of the diplomatic history of the period, the question naturally intrudes itself - Was Great Britain justified in the attitude she first adopted towards her new competitor? From the British point of view, certainly. Great Britain had been first in the field, and in the struggle of the nations the first-comer naturally expects, if his strength fail not, to retain the prizes within his grasp. But the fact must not be overlooked that there is much to be said from the German point of View, and although the game of grab can never be a polite and gentle exercise, no player has really the right to complain if another is first in the field and secures the best stakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of the Empire: The Story of Our Colonies New England colonists have left us, the son of an agricultural labourer has given to us another continent in Australia. Peace comes at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the tide of emigration flows strongly. Men have been leaving the Old country and making homes for themselves across the Atlantic, at the Cape, and in the beautiful islands of the Caribbean Sea. Without haste and without rest we go on finding new places for settlement and new markets for our trade. Our population increases and brims over; splendid cities arise on the Australian coasts, explorers reveal the riches Of Africa, and our merchants in India surrender to the Queen the Empire they have built up. The United Kingdom becomes Greater Britain, and more settlements and colonies are added each year. We shall note in these pages the recent rush for Africa, and we shall see how large a share of the Dark Continent has fallen to us. Then, too, we shall look in upon the Dyaks Of Borneo, the Papuans in their great island of New Guinea, the Malays of the Straits Settlements, the Chinese at Hong Kong, and the Australian settlers in beautiful Fiji. The growth and increase of all will be noted in turn. Our colonies have grown up in various ways. Some, like Canada, are the outcome of hard fighting between England and a rival power; others, like Australia and New Zealand, are the fruits of adventurous voyages; while our great empire in India is the result Of interposing with a strong arm in the quarrels of the native races.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonies and the Century Australasia, of South Africa, of Northern India and Burmah, of Northern and Western Canada. And of many island possessions amidst the seas, were all blank or alien. They were unknown to civilisation, to commerce, or to society. They contributed naught to the wealth or progress of mankind. Known only to the scanty or savage or unlettered peoples who roamed their wilds or tenanted their untravelled depths, they were spheres of curiosity or conjecture, rather than of in uence or activity. Scenes of myth or mystery, they were the prey of inventive chronicler or fanciful fable-monger. Travellers said what they liked concerning regions where their pens and pencils could confidently run riot in imaginative exaggera tions. Though there are notable exceptions in the way of truthful narration, the books and prints of that period too often bear amusing testimony to the um bridled freedom with which visitors to distant and um known countries exercised their descriptive faculties. Then, as now, the De Rougemonts of the press found an ample and a credulous auditory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The African Repository and Colonial Journal Vol 7 written by American Colonization Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 7: August, 1831 After the close of our revolutionary war, many negroes who fled from their masters, and sought protection with the British armies during its progress, were scattered through the Bahama Islands, and Nova Scotia. Others had found their way to England. In 1787, a private company in England sent 400 of them, with their own consent, to Sierra Leone, on the western coast of Africa About five years afterwards, twelve hun dred of those from Nova Scotia were transported to Sierra Leone, by the British government. The Maroons, from Jamaica, were removed thither in 1805. The hostility of the French, the opposition of the Na tives, the selection ofa situation which proved to be unfortunate in many local particulars, and perhaps more than either, the heterogeneous mate rials of which that settlement was composed, for some years, retarded its growth. All these difficulties, however, have been surmounted. That colony contains more than twenty thousand souls, of whom more than three-fourths are re-captured Africans, whose rapacious owners had des tined them for foreign bondage. Towns are reared up, churches and schools established, agriculture has become a settled pursuit, and society has put on a regular and stable appearance.
