Excerpt from The New Empire: Reflections Upon Its Origin and Constitution and Its Relation to the Great Republic
The Author"s justification for inflicting another book upon an overburdened world will not be found in any novel researches into the sources of history; nor in any absolute originality in the views that he endeavors to state, regarding the place of Canada among the English nations, the Constitution and future of the Empire, or the interests of the whole English-speaking world.
The very contrary is the only merit he can claim for this little work. He believes that he is merely giving expression to thoughts that are in many minds, if not on many lips. He will have reason to be well satisfied if it shall prove that he has succeeded in giving, even in a rude and incomplete manner, a tangible summary of the more or less floating convictions that prevail among his countrymen.
Some portion of the views here embodied were first sketched in the columns of the Toronto "Week," and the Author was as much encouraged as surprised by the expressions of concurrence which reached him privately from many Canadian public men.
