Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

That wars have ofttimes been due to the pressure of population upon subsistence is now so generally recognized as to have become a commonplace in our historical studies. The various barbarian invasions of the Roman Empire may be cited as due to this cause, and even where the immediate invaders came from the fertile plains of southern Russia their migration is held to be the result of the pressure of less favored people upon the borders of those who held these more fertile lands. Nor is this pressure of population upon subsistence restricted to more primitive days but is clearly seen in the great struggle that now threatens to engulf our modern civilization. For is it not true that insular England, fearing to have her food supply cut off, has been forced to maintain a great navy for its protection and to insist that Germany shall limit its naval programme to the ratio of twelve to sixteen.
