The Pan-Angles; a consideration of the federation of the seven English-speaking nations

Excerpt from The Pan-Angles: A Consideration of the Federation of the Seven English-Speaking NationsThese pages are concerned with the English speaking people of 1914. Here will be found no jingoism, if this be defined as a desire to flaunt power for its own sake; no altruism, if this means placing the welfare of others before one's own; and no sentiment except that which leads to self-pre servation. No technical discussion of military or naval power is here attempted. The purpose of these pages is to indicate some of the common heritages of these English-speaking peoples, their need of land and their desire for the sole privilege of taxing themselves for their own purposes and in their own way.Federation is here recognized as the method by which English-speaking people ensure the freedom of the individual. It utilizes ideals and methods common to them all. Where it has been applied, it fulfils its dual purpose of protecting the group and leaving the individual unhampered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
