About this book
Critical Miscellanies (Vol. 3 of 3), Essay 9 carries the subtitle The Expansion of England and is by John Morley. The contents list names, among others, Mr. Green and his History of the English People, The secession of the American colonies, and Sir Henry Parkes on Australia. The text says that Mr. Seeley's aversion for the florid, rhetorical, and over-decorated fashion of writing history has not carried him to the opposite extreme.
The text says the history of the struggle between England and France for Canada and for India acquires new point at a moment when the old rivalries are again too likely to be awakened in Madagascar, in Oceania, and in more than one region of Africa. The text reports someone saying emphatically that an armed conflict between the mother country and a powerful adversary would certainly bring wide-ranging and terrible mischiefs upon the Australian colonies. The text says Englishmen at home withdrew the troops from New Zealand because we did not choose to pay for them, and that Englishmen in Canada and Victoria do their best to injure our manufactures because they wish to nurse their own.
