To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I needs be ignorant of navigation ; War, commerce, and free piracy Form but one trinity, no separation. " Here the new point at which England's policy commences is clearly indicated: war, commerce, and piracy.
As soon as England embarks on foreign trade she begins to hate; first of all the German Hansa. Those who wish to know more about the subject need only look up Schanz's *' England's Commercial Policy. " Immediately piracy commences ; without de- claring war, England attacks Jamaica, which ...belonged to Spain, and lays the foundation ENGLAND 135 to her West Indian Empire. For a long time England's colonial activity is restricted to capturing the Spanish galleons as they return home laden with gold and precious wares. Everywhere commercial England grows at the expense of other nations, and increases by their destruction. Piracy pre- cedes, through it commerce prospers ; wars are waged when there is no other resource, but Lord Bolingbroke's " island policy " is never forgotten. First England unites with Holland to destroy the colonial empire of the Spanish ; then with France to sever the vital nerve of Holland ; then she perceives how ingeniously the great Frenchman Dupleix has attacked the Indian problem, imitates him, and incites the natives against him, then the natives against each other, till ultimately, as Seeley says, " without con- quest " she acquires one of the largest em- pires in the world.
