SECOND COUESB.
S.U 11 LECJTURE I.
HISTOBT AND POLITIGS.
HiSTORiAKS are sometimes ridiculed for indulging in conjectures about what would have followed in history if some one event had fiJlen out differently. 'So gloriously unpractical !' we exclaim. Now it is not for the sake of practice, but for the sake of theory that such conjectures are hazarded, and I think historians should deal in them much more than they do.

This remark is especially applicable to an event so vast and complex as the Expansion of England. Think for a moment, if there had been no connexion of England with the New Worldl How utterly different would have been the whole course of English history since the reign of Queen Elizabeth I No Spanish Armada would have come against us, and there would have been no Drake and 11—2 IM BXPANSIOK OF BNGLAIO).
