Excerpt from The Growth of the English Nation
This little treatise traces the growth of the English nation from its beginnings in a weak and struggling island community to its present attainment of maritime suprem acy and world-wide empire. Such a study must concern itself, primarily, with social, economic, and political con ditions, since national achievement is the outcome of national character - the resultant of all the forces Operating upon a people. Industrial prosperity, intellectual develop ment, the evolution of methods of self-government, the Victory of the moral and spiritual over the brute elements in race temperament - these, and not war nor dynastic intrigue, are the determining factors in national progress. We shall, then, since our space is limited, pay slight heed to the deeds of kings and potentates, that we may give more attention to the deeper influences at work. We shall endeavor to understand the people and those popular movements that shape the statesman's policy.
