Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Popular History of England: From the Earliest Period to the Jubilee of Victoria, Queen and Empress, in the Year 1887
The rise and progress of the great colonial empire of Great Britain, the establishment of vast independent communities in Australia and New Zealand, etc., has also been treated as an important part of the History of England 3. For in their loyalty and sympathy with the mother country, these colonies are assuredly to be considered as a part of that Greater Britain destined to spread throughout the New World the best and most valuable traditions of the old. Australia and New Zealand, and even the new possessions of England in the Fiji Islands, are living records of the triumph of liberty, self-government, and the principles of equity and justice and their story emphatically belongs to the History of England.
The narrative has also been brought down to the latest date, con taining the momentous political changes of recent years, and closing with the Jubilee of 1887, on the completion of the fiftieth year of Queen Victoria's reign.
