A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The name of this book, I hope, sufficiently expresses its object. It is an attempt to portray, interestingly if possible, accurately as far as may be, the growth of that British Empire of which we are all free citizens; to show it in all its stages from acorn to oak as an organic whole, stirred by the same winds of fluctuating policy, nourished in every leaf by the same springing sap of British blood. We have histories enough, large and small, of India and Canada and Australia and South A frica: we still lack the Imperial historian, the man who shall do for Seeley what the Herschels did for Newton. We lack him, but we need him ;and it may be that the very imperfections of a mere outline sketch, such as this is, will rouse the right man to do the work that is waiting for him. For my own work, I make bold to hope this fate at least that it may interest the busy man, stimulate the indifferent man, and whet the appetite of the student; and that every one who reads it, be he young or old, may feel himself a product and a part of what he reads about, in whose life the fact of the Empire sexistence, and the methods of its growth, have been and are an important and a determining influence.
