Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Is the British Empire the Result of Wholesale Robbery?
In any case, when the British Empire was being founded, the one enemy was Spain, and we may freely admit that if England did not succeed in snatching Spanish possessions, it was her poverty and not her will which was at fault. Spain, to our ancestors, repro sented the Scarlet Woman of the Apocalypse; and any measures taken against her would have seemed justified to the half-huecaneering, half-religious, temper of the time.
