Excerpt from Liberalism and the Empire: Three Essays The position of Great Britain as the Metropolis and centre of a world-wide nexus of free and prosperous commonwealths is one of the greatest features of con temporary history. It is a matter of just pride for Englishmen to reflect upon. It is a fundamental condition never to be lost sight of in any attempt at sound political thinking.
