Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old Empire and the New The British Empire has too long suffered from want of appreciation by the general public of the United Kingdom, and especially by the working classes. I use the word appreciation in its literal sense. The worth, the meaning of the Empire, have not been duly apprehended. It has been the victim of generalities and platitudes, of exaggeration on the one hand, on the other of passive indifference or active suspicion. It has not been, except to a very limited extent, the subject of sane and sober study. The war has come as a great stimulus to such study, and as a wholesome corrective of distorted views. It has removed - let us hope for ever - the mischievous prejudice which attached to the word Empire, has identified it with democracy and freedom, and has proved to demonstration its living and potent value alike to the citizens of the British Isles and to liberty-loving peoples throughout the world.
