Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of the British Empire There are so many School Histories of England already in existence, that it may perhaps seem presumptuous on the part of the authors of this series to add six volumes more to the number. But they have their defence: the "Oxford Manuals of English History" are intended to serve a particular purpose. There are several good general histories already in use, and there are a considerable number of scattered 'epochs' or 'periods.' But there seems still to be room for a set of books which shall combine the virtues of both these classes. Schools often wish to take up only a certain portion of the history of England, and find one of the large general histories too bulky for their use. On the other hand, if they employ one of the isolated 'epochs' to which allusion has been made, they find in most cases that there is no succeeding work on the same scale and lines from which the scholar can continue his study and pass on to the next period, without a break in the continuity of his knowledge. The object of the present series is to provide a set of historical manuals of a convenient size, and at a very moderate price. Each part is complete in itself, but as the volumes will be carefully fitted on to each other, so that the whole form together a single continuous history of England, it will be possible to use any two or more of them in successive terms or years at the option of the instructor.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of the British Empire It will be taken for granted, it is hoped, that this account of British expansion is not intended as an exhaustive study, but as an introduction to a part of modern history that has received altogether too little emphasis in the past in Ameri can schools and colleges. In accordance with this purpose, bibliographies have been appended to the chapters. They refer, it is believed, to the best selection of available books for further reading, although they do not pretend to include all the important works on British imperial growth. Biblio graphical data have been added in order that the titles may be more than names, and may lead to an acquaintance with the volumes themselves.

It is hardly necessary to say, therefore, that it was written entirely free from the influence of the controversy, and in a much calmer and more judicial frame of mind than would be possible now. Reperusal of the work has convinced me that no new facts have been brought to light in the interval to modify the position I then took; rather am I more firmly of the opinion that it one. For this reason I have decided to text, with only such alterations as are necessary to make the incorporated statistics the latest obtainable; and whenever I have desired to make fresh comment, I have done so in the form of a special footnote, thus making the second edition as nearly as possible an exact reproduction of the first.

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reorganization of the British Empire It is perhaps hard for Americans, imbued with traditions of the struggle by which their country threw off the yoke of Jan oppressive English Government, to understand how completely, and for what strong reasons, the relations between Great Britain and her present colonies are those of profound sympathy and warm affection. The mother' land regards with natural pride the energy which is planting free political' institutions and extending civilization in so many quarters of the globe; which is opening -up such vast areas of virgin soil for British occupation, and which, by so doing, is preparing for her a solution of'the difficult problem pressing upon her at home from, dense population and limited land - a solution such as no other of the overcrowded nations of Europe can hope for. To the richness of her own past the colonies open a boundless vista of hope for the future. The colonies, on the other hand, feel equally proud of their unbroken connection with the grand traditions of the mother land. Little has occurred to mar the strength of this sentimental attachment. They have enjoyed the advantages of being members of a great empire without, as yet, bearing the severer weight of its burdens. All the perfect freedom of self-government for which they have asked has been ungrudgingly allowed. The population which is flowing into their waste lands comes chiefly from the mother country not driven out by religious persecution or political tyranny, but the over flow of a fecund race, impelled by the spirit of enterprise, or in search of the larger breathing-space of new continents. In almost every case they come to strengthen the loyalty of the colony. The emigrant is encouraged or even assisted in leaving the old Britain; he is heartily welcomed in the new Britain beyond the seas. For generations afterwards his descendants speak of going home without feeling it necessary to explain that by home they mean England, Scotland or Ireland. Great Britain's new colonial policy has thus given a' new cohesion to the empire. Even in the case of a distinct race, with strong race instincts, it has achieved a marked success. French-canadians are not only con tent with their political condition, but warmly loyal to British connection. Their greatest statesman emphasized, but scarcely exaggerated, this atti tude of mind when he described himself as an Englishman speaking French. So high an authority as Cardinal Manning told me not long since that F rench-canadian bishops and clergy had over and over again assured him that their people were practically a unit in preferring British to French connection. There is no doubt that in respect of either religious freedom or political security the preference is justified. The lapse of years bring into stronger relief the truth of Montalembert's remark, that the Frenchmen of Canada had gained under British rule a freedom which the Frenchmen of France never knew.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of England and the British Empire, Vol. 1 of 4 Many are the histories of England, or of the British Empire and the kingdoms out of whose union that Empire grew, from the earliest times to the present day.' Latterly, almost every such history for which a single author has been responsible is of a compass compatible with its publi cation in a single volume. Whenever, during some forty years past, a work on a larger scale has been projected, the principle of co-operative production by scholars who have each made a special study of a particular era or of a particular aspect of the whole subject has displaced the principle of unity in outlook and method. For anything which exceeds the limits of a study or a summary we have learnt to seek always the guidance of a specialist; and no one can pretend to be a specialist on the whole of British history from Gildas to the latest Blue-book. No one man can be expected to combine in his own person the erudition of the respective staffs of Dr. Hunt, the late H. D. Trail], or Professor Oman, in the histories of England issued under their editorship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 3: Its Progress and Expansion at Home and Abroad; Comprising a Description and History of the British Colonies and Dependencies The people who dwell in a coal-producing country are always liable to be shocked by tidings of calamities mostly invested with a dreadful sameness of detail - the deadened roar of subterraneous explosion due to the ignition of gas from a fiery seam of coal; the column of smoke, with the shattered timbers of the staging at the pit-mouth, shot into the air; the hurried gathering of women and children around the scene of disaster; the cries of anguish that rend the air, as the bodies, brought to bank, are recognized by the wives, the mothers, the sisters, the daughters, and the sweethearts of the dead. Our first instance of colliery-accidents arose from a very unusual cause. On January 16th, 1862, about 10.30 a.m., the beam of the pumping-engine at Hartley Pit, about ten miles north-east of Newcastle-on-Tyne, suddenly broke, from rottenness of the metal, and fell into the shaft, crushing in its fall an ascending "cage." Five men were instantly killed or fatally wounded, and three others were extricated alive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the following year Torring ton allowed a French fleet under De Tourville to snatch a victory from the combined English and Dutch fleets off Beachy Head. The Hollanders, who led the van, fought with signal bravery, as did some of the English, ships but others seemed to Shirk the contest. In this action the English lost a couple of vessels, two of their captains, and some four hundred men; while the Dutch lost two Ad mirals, with a large number of men, and were be sides obliged to Sink several of their vessels to prevent them falling into the enemy's hands. Both commanders were blamed, Torrington for not fight ing, the French Admiral for not following up his Victory, which, indeed, from his failure to do so, profited the victors but little.

Download or read book Unfinished Empire written by John Darwin and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A both controversial and comprehensive historical analysis of how the British Empire worked, from Wolfson Prize-winning author and historian John Darwin The British Empire shaped the world in countless ways: repopulating continents, carving out nations, imposing its own language, technology and values. For perhaps two centuries its expansion and final collapse were the single largest determinant of historical events, and it remains surrounded by myth, misconception and controversy today. John Darwin's provocative and richly enjoyable book shows how diverse, contradictory and in many ways chaotic the British Empire really was, controlled by interests that were often at loggerheads, and as much driven on by others' weaknesses as by its own strength.
