Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Building of the Empire, the Story of England´s Growth From Elizabeth to Victoria, Vol. 1 of 2 In writing a book like the present, one is so overwhelmed with the wealth of material that it is difficult at times to know what to put in and what to leave out; conscious, too, it may be, that the selected incident or event is not always the best of its kind, or that something important may have been omitted. However, in the space at my disposal, I have endeavoured faithfully to present the story of the growth and development of the Empire from the moment when England, having been finally shut off from dominion on the Continent of Europe, began gradually, and at first with indifferent success, to grasp empire beyond the wider seas, impelled mainly by the blind instinct to be doing, coupled with an indomitable energy that could not be satisfied with mere existence.
