Book excerpt: Excerpt from What the British Empire Is Doing in the War The author of this pamphlet cherishes the desire to be accounted a just historian. Of this he has tried to give evidence in his more important work on the Great War: The Genesis. But he holds that no really sincere historian has ever been able, if indeed he ever sought, to conceal his intimate conviction as to the moral and political responsibilities for the events with which he deals. In reference to the present conflict, this truth is singularly Obvious. The author has paid this tribute to the British nation and all its associate peoples with entire sincerity and with the simple Object of helping to make clear to the nations of the world, belligerent or neutral, the real magnitude and unexampled significance Of the noble and magnificent British effort.

Download or read book The Army Book for the British Empire written by W. H. Goodenough and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Army Book for the British Empire: A Record of the Development and Present Composition of the Military Forces and Their Duties in Peace and War The purpose of the Army Book is to give to all its readers a comprehensive knowledge of the British army and military system. With this object in view, a certain amount of what is history must be introduced; not, however, as a main feature, but in order to give the reader a grasp of the ante cedents of the army, of the experiences gained in war, and of the effect of these antecedents and experiences on the action of the statesmen who have been concerned in establishing the system in force. Similarly, in the several chapters on the components of the army - infantry; cavalry, &c., what is historical in them will, it is thought, better conduce to the understanding of the spirit and best traditions of the arm concerned. Matter of controversy has been unavoidable, but beyond the sincere endeavour to represent adequately the intention animating the measures of reform on which the army system is based, no attempt at controversy has been made nor is needed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and the Parting of the Ways The great War of 1914 will be responsible for many changes in the life of Great Britain and the British Empire generally, from the Commercial, Political, Military, and Social point of view. Just a few months ago we were face to face with a deadlock in Irish affairs, which seemed leading us into civil war, but in other respects our National and Imperial life was proceeding along normal lines.

Download or read book Catholics of the British Empire and the War Classic Reprint written by Burns and Oates Ltd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catholics of the British Empire and the War This great progress of British Catholicism has taken place without alarming or antagonising any but an infinitesimal section of the British people. It was soon generally recognised that good citizenship is the first of Catholic social dogmas. One of the most striking features of recent English history has been the manner in which Catholics, inspired and fired by the freshness of their rejuvenated Faith and their newly won liberties, stepped spontaneously into the forefront of their country's battles. From top to bottom of the social scale Catholics have long given their best and have served their country in exalted and humble stations alike. It is no mean contribution of Catholics to the civil life of the Empire and no small testimony to their political vigour to have pro vided in this short space a Viceroy of India, a First Seal Lord, a Lord Chief Justice, a Colonial Premier, several Lord Mayors of London and other great cities, distinguished ambassadors and generals, and score upon score of men less eminent who have, some in the full limelight of publicity, others in the relative obscurity of distant lands, helped to keep going the machinery of the British Imperial administration and to make it what it is to-day. So, when the Great War broke out, it was not surprising that Catholics should have flocked to arms for the defence of the country they loved - and loved, not because it has admittedly treated them so generously and respected their devotion, but because it is their country and the instincts of patriotism are so deeply inrooted in all who bear the Catholic name. The patriotism of Catholics in all belligerent countries, friend and foe alike, has indeed been a phenomenon that has impressed the opinion of a world that has.

To hold prejudice is as to nurse the quality of revenge - to entertain a spirit that, in man or nation, warps and dwarfs the judgment, wasting the blessed capacities of being. Nathless, this also I trust is right, that my first and best service is to place plainly before my countrymen whatever affects the welfare of the British Empire and the race.

Download or read book A Short History of the Great World War Classic Reprint written by F. Maynard Bridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Great World War AT first sight this short history may seem a superfluous addition to the literature of the War. Several exhaustive histories, written by competent authorities, have appeared in numerous parts and volumes, and there are many smaller works dealing with special phases of the war. But there are thousands of people who have not had the time or the opportunity to read these works, many of Whom will, perhaps, be glad to have the record of the whole war in a handy form at a moderate price. It may also appeal to repatriated prisoners of war who were only able to follow the course of events through enemy versions, and would like to devote a few hours to reading the complete story. Lastly, there is no doubt that the history and lessons of the Great War will be taught in the schools and colleges of the British Empire, and it is hoped teachers may find this book useful either as a class-book for their pupils or a foundation for their own teaching.

Download or read book The War and the British Dominions Classic Reprint written by H. E. Egehton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and the British Dominions Germany. And, in this state of things, what would be the position of the British Dominions? It is improbable that Germany would desire at once to annex them as portions of her Empire. She would probably, at first, be content to put pressure to hear so that they should sever their political connexion with Great Britain; and then would attempt to obtain the monopoly of their trade by enforcing preferential treatment. Were emigration from Germany again to become necessary or expedient, the emigrants would be encouraged to go to Canada or Australasia; by which means the German element in these communities would be strengthened. Meanwhile, in various directions the emissaries of German 'culture' would be spreading their nets. Elsewhere German action might be more direct. According to the summary of his speech telegraphed to England, General Smuts has recently stated that there is evidence in the hands of the South African Union Government of German intrigues against British South Africa. It is impossible for as here to know the character of such evidence but we all remember the exultant message which the German Kaiser dispatched on receiving the news of the foolish fiasco of the Jameson raid. It showed better than reams of commentary how close was the attention being paid by Queen Victoria's august grandson to the possibilities of trouble for the British Empire. Happily for Great Britain, 'by a certain divine good fortune the members of the German governing classes excel in offending those whom it. Is their interest to conciliate. Thus, after the treaty of Vereeniging, Transvaal farmeis trekked into German south-west Africa to escape the humiliation of British rule. Most of them, however, soon found their way back, recognizing that the whipcords of British dominion were far lighter than the scorpions of German authority. Similarly, if.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire and Alliances, or Britain's Duty to Her Colonies and Subject Races The idea of this book has been in the mind of its author for some years. It has been like a solitary beam, and the spectrum, falling across the path of this beam, has split it into the rays reflected in these pages. That spectrum was the spanish-american War.

During the process of elaboration, important incidents have occurred bearing on some of the points that are treated.
