UNION AND STRENGTH

A Series of Papers on Imperial QuestionsThe papers which compose the present volume have been published or delivered on various occasions during the last few years. My only excuse for republishing them as they stand is that they derive a certain unity from. The common purpose which has underlain them, and from the common body Of ideas to which they give expression. The urgent necessity of attaining to some real and enduring constitutional union for the British Empire, of paving the way towards that union by the development of mutual trade, and of defending the existence of that Empire from destruction by external force during the period of transition - that, stated in its various aspects, is the theme which, I trust, will give sufficient coherence and continuity to this volume to justify its appearance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
