A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The two great events which have taken place during the nineteenth century, and which must, beyond all others, influence the future of the world, are the rapid progress of the United States of A merica, and the foundation and growth of the great system of colonies belonging to theB ritish Empire. All other matters recorded the relative power of the nations of Continental Europe; the story of their wars and rivalries cannot alter the future course of human progress, but the marvellous development of a few communities scattered along the eastern sea-board of theN orth American Continent into the mightiest and most wealthy nation that the world has seen ;the extension of the colonies of theB ritish Empire over such considerable portions of the whole surface of the habitable globe; and the establishment of numerous free and prosperous states inC anada, inS outh A frica, New Zealand, A ustralia, and Polynesia, in which the surplus population of European nations, especially of theE nglish-speaking races, may find homes and subsistence for centuries to come, are the real factors of history for this period.
