Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Analysis of the System of Government Throughout the British Empire It has been estimated that the Empire of Rome at the height of its power covered 1,600,000 square miles of territory and was acknowledged by about 85 millions of subjects. King George V. reigns to-day over 11,400,000 square miles of territory and over a population of 410 millions. The British Empire therefore surpasses the Empire of Rome - the only true Imperial precedent - by a margin infinitely greater than that which separated Rome from the Eastern dominations which preceded it. It far surpasses in extent, in wealth and populousness any which Napoleon saw in his dreams under the Egyptian stars. It differs moreover from every Empire which has dominated the world in the fact that its territory is not continuous, or even relatively continuous. Its ramifications embrace every continent, its interests are paramount on every sea. The expanse of its territory is matched only by the complexity of its organisation - a complexity which is amply demonstrated in the succeeding pages. This complexity is not entirely due to the haphazard manner in which the Imperial power has been built up, now by the fortune of war or the exigencies of strategy, now by the need for securing order in outlying territories, now by the natural expansion of a virile people. It is due at least as much to the fact that the constitution, or rather the constitutions, of the Empire reflect every dominant phase of the British genius.
