Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tussock Land: A Romance of New Zealand, and the Commonwealth Nineteen, aglow with health, with a heart untroubled, from sheer gladness of living Aroha Grey sang. Overhead was the fathomless blue of the New Zealand sky. Across this arch of turquoise scurried thin wisps of white clouds, as if the keen, persistent wind that swept down the valley had blown the waves of the sky into foam. It was a crisp, splendid autumn day in the south of New Zealand. Already there was a taste of winter in the air, and the breeze that forever roamed these solitudes of tussock land brought with it this afternoon some memory of the Antarctic that had given it birth.

Download or read book Commonwealth Reconstructed Classic Reprint written by Charles Cotesworth Pinckney Clark and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

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.

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 reflect 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, had to decide what to reject and what 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 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.

Download or read book Political Ballads written by Thomas Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Ballads: Published in England During the Commonwealth Our little volume contains those most worthy of being reprinted among the Political Ballads which issued from the press during the agitated period from the Civil Wars to the Restoration. It will be seen that they belong chiefly to two distinctphases of the great political struggle, and they may therefore be conveniently arranged in two divisions. The first relates to the period between the close of the Civil Wars (when Charles the First fell into the hands of the victorious parliament) and the king's execution. During this period, the intrigues of the royalists (from whom a large portion of these ballads emanated) were more dangerous to the safety of the parliament than their arms had been in the field. Charles ruined himself by his dishonest evasions and his indirect and underhand mode of acting. The following ballads Show that even the royalists themselves were convinced of the sincerity of the parliament ary leaders in the intention of restoring the king on conditions which should effectually guarantee their liberties; yet they were in the mean time busy fomenting jealousies between the two great parties of the Independents and the Presbyterians; and the king with singular fatuity received the prepo sitions of the parliament with one hand, and de clared almost publicly his treacherous intentions with the other. The parliamentary leaders soon saw that the restoration of the king must be the signal of their own ruin, and they perceived at the same time that, so long as he lived unrestored, the state could hope for no tranquillity - they then resolved to bring him to the block. The second portion of these ballads relates to a posture of affairs which in many respects bore a close resemblance to the former. The powerful hand of Cromwell no longer kept in control the rage of partyism; his son Richard had been obliged to retire from the scene and the contend ing parties in the restored Commonwealth made room for the renewed intrigues of the royalists. Instead of a king at home and in captivity, there was one free, but in a foreign land. Most of the skilful hands who had guided the vessel of the state through so many troubles, were departed; and the man who became suddenly master by the chances of the moment, conscious of his own incapacity, and unable to foresee the future, be trayed the cause which he pretended to support, to secure his own personal impunity. The conse quenco was, after twenty-eight years of misgovern ment, the more effectual, though less bloody, revolution of eighty-eight.

Bold and resolute, active, but wary, he seldom met with reverses; and when they did come, the apparently habitual coolness of his tempera ment prevented him from being betrayed into any hasty measure, or yielding, under any circumstances, to despondency.
