Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Imperial Fellowship of Self-Governed British Colonies, Vol. 1 Colonization is pre-eminently a British faculty. No nation of modern times has colonized in the same idea, or with such great results. While other nations have possessed themselves of territory for their aggrandizement, or for military or commercial establishments, we have gone out from our pent-up Island Home on private enterprise, to find open space across our ocean thoroughfare to set up our home institutions again elsewhere. Such is the genuine process of British colonization. It is the spreading of a nation possessed of the freest constitution of government in the world in distant communities, possessed of the same constitution under one Sovereign Head. Our Colonists may not all be the first occupants of new territory. Some are Settlers on lands acquired by conquest or cession.
