This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ...the present. So does the Jingo. This is the real explanation of his view of 'settlement'--a short, sharp display of physical force stamping out 'rebellion, ' and attended by an administration of ' good government' under autocratic rule. This 'settlement' is no result of reflection; it ignores all the moral or 'sentimental' factors which practically direct history; it is simply the hotheaded resentment of a victorious foe eager to quit the field of conflict and retire to rest or revelry. A formal settlement, a superficial pacification, can be effected by such means; but to speak of 'finality' in connection with a settlement which feeds every root of hostility in the conquered people, and merely prevents ill-feeling from finding vent in violent conduct, is simply to turn our back upon the plainest lessons of all history.

CHAPTER V THE ECLIPSE OF HUMOUR With the abandonment of a sane, constant, rational judgment the Jingo loses all true sense of humour, and thus exhibits one more distinctive sign of savagery. A fool public that will swallow each new mess of falsehood from the recently-detected liars of the press, that will belaud with adulation the very generals who...
