Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Preliminary Survey and Estimates
The anglo-saxon race, in sundry climates and conditions and under divers forms Of government, is unquestionably pre-eminent today in the civilisation Of the world.
It is not alone because they are the greatest traders, but because they are at the same time the greatest navigators and engineers Of the world that the English-speaking nations hold the proud primacy Of race. Whether it be at the first appearance Of railways upon the Eastern hemisphere, or the first cable-knot between the Old world and the new, or the development Of virgin continents, and the carrying Of a luxurious civilisation into the heart of nature's wilderness, the Anglo Saxon is always at the front.
