Excerpt from The Expansion of Britain From the Age of the Discoveries: A Geographical History

This book is an attempt, on a small scale, to look, from a geographical point of View, at the history of the settle ment and growth of the great Dominions of the British Commonwealth, and the foundation and expansion of the Indian Empire. The period covered is from Tudor times to the present day, and some present-day problems are connected with their geographical and historical causes. The manuscript had the very great advantage of criticisms and suggestions by Sir Charles Lucas, but for which the book's shortcomings would be much'more numerous.

It is not possible, in a book of this size, to include all the maps that might be desirable, and the use of a general or historical atlas will be found to make the book more intelligible: Last, but not least important, it remains only to say that this book is dedicated to my wife.
