Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reorganization of the British Empire Within a short time a remarkable change has come over public opinion in the British Isles themselves. Twenty years ago it almost seemed as if Great Britain was. Ready voluntarily to throw away her vast colonial empire. A, whole school of politicians favored the idea, and seemed -to have gained the public ear. The Times, supposed to re ect public opinion, claimed that England was paying too high a price for enjoying the luxury of colonial loyalty, and' warned the colonies to prepare for the separation that was inevitable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire To yield a fair return upon the efforts which it has involved. The only country which possesses a domain which can be compared with our own is Russia, who not only has an enormous amount of agricultural and mineral resource in her Asiatic territory, but has the immense advantage over us of possessing that territory in a contiguous form, and being practically impregnable and almost unassailable by her enemies. The position which we should hold, had we, as we ought to have, a fleet absolutely supreme against every possible combination, belongs to Russia without the expenditure of money upon ships. She could not be vitally dam aged even if her army were far smaller than it is, and as matters stand she could hardly be hurt at all.

Download or read book The Foundation and Growth of the British Empire Classic Reprint written by James A. Williamson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundation and Growth of the British Empire It is in my opinion a mistake in such a text-book to deal extensively in generalisations and the discussion of abstract principles. What is necessary to leave a permanent im pression on the mind of a possibly indifferent student is an abundance of vivid detail carefully selected so as to concentrate attention on the salient features of the story. In this respect it is important to discriminate between the requirements of the advanced and the elementary student. Seeley's Growth of British Policy, for example, is fasci nating reading for one who already has the facts at his fingers' ends, but it would be of little interest to the average boy at school. If, therefore, one can succeed in so handling the subject that it will be studied from interest rather than compulsion, it will be safe to leave in great measure to the teacher the task of deducing general principles and correlating the facts. A good teacher, indeed, will stimulate his pupils to do this for themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Government for the British Empire The first enquiry must ask, what is the nature of the State, -its origin in a narrow kindred circle, its extension by kingship, slavery, or conquest, and the accidental and artificial character of most of the con geries called Nations' to-day? The body politic is treated in the light of various analogies, which seem to help us to understand its aim and purpose; as family, flock, army, organism, benefit or mutual aid' society. Attention will be drawn to the fact that modern nations are the creatures of Royalty, and rest on tacit or explicit covenants between rulers and ruled - a contract visible enough, even in the earliest days, between government or ruling class (nearly always alien and invading), and a subject race. This is true in our own time, when the State appears in the light of a joint-stock corporation for common life and mutual profit, with a shifting board of directors chosen by the Shareholders. Here, the con tract is explicit, and its secular and utilitarian motive conspicuous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire on the Anvil: Being Suggestions and Data for the Future Government of the British Empire By the masses, but gathering strength with improved intercommunications and the growing recognition of essential mutual interests. The military assis tance, freely offered in the Sudan in 1885 and in South Africa in 1899 - 1902, supplied an object lesson alike of the strong sentiment of our fellow subjects overseas and of their military spirit, which powerfully appealed to the public imagination. Thus, in the years before the bursting of the storm, forces have come into play which have worked in the direction of closer political interchange and of tentative organisation for defence. Other forces of local origin have brought about the federation of two important groups of contiguous Colonies and may have helped to disseminate the federal idea.

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 in tended to compete with the standard works on the Consti tution 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 immedi ate prospect of a largely increased electorate, combined with the great stimulus of interest in problems Of government pro duced by the war, would seem to make that hope reasonable.

Download or read book The Character of the British Empire Classic Reprint written by Ramsay Muir and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 48 pages. 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.

The difficulties that stand in the way of forming such an incorporating organ of the life of the peoples of the British Empire are greater than those that attended the formation of any similar union now known to the world. The successful federation of the United States of America, the federation of the provinces of Canada, of the states of Australia, and of the provinces of South Africa, may, indeed, encourage us to seek for some practicable scheme of common government, consistent with the varying facts and circumstances of our life; but in the task of framing such a scheme there is little help, beyond the stimulus of example, to be got from the federal unions already in exist ence either within or without the limits of the Empire. The task of devising them was of a totally different kind from ours, and vastly less complicated in its character and conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire-Commonwealth: A Study in Political Evolution The college teacher of general European history is always confronted with the task of finding adequate reading for his classes which is neither too specialized and technical nor too elementary. For many topics, including several of the greatest importance, no such material is at the moment available. Moreover, in too many instances, good reading which undeniably does exist is in the form of a chapter in a larger work and is therefore too expensive for adoption as required read ing under normal conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress of British Empire in the Century, Vol. 8 This great, this new fact, must be taken into consideration when we are counting the risks from continental schemes for our destruction. So far as France alone is concerned, they would render French rivalry a matter of small moment; even had not France shown by every act and every develop ment of her recent history, culminating in the pitiable expose at Rennes, that her upper and mid dle classes are paying the penalty of a long course of emasculating extravagances, and are the victims of hysteria and degeneracy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resources of the British Empire: Together With a View of the Probable Result of the Present Contest Between Britain and France The public, both in America and Europe, have been long since wearied by dissertations on the which led to the Revolution in France; but the causes hitherto assigned by some of the greatest statesmen in Europe, seem to be only secondary, and themselves to have been produced by one great, pri mary, universal cause, which has, so far as I know, been entirely overlooked. I do however offer my Speculations 'with the most unfeigned diflidence, see ing that they do not accord with the opinions expres sed on the same subject 'by some men of the most exalted tal cuts and the most comprehensive infor mation.
