hi,torical importance have heel) predestined atla
ordered by the natural form of the Old World.—
,No Country lies so well protected as this sea-
fenced group of Islands : large enough to con-
tain a population which can repel all attack, but
not so extensive that strongly marked differences
divide, it within itself and break its power; with
this, incomparably well situated for commerce
with every country ; and finally, inhabited
by a People in whom the Gaelic blood is so
happily mixed with the German, as to produce
a nervous, enterpriling, intelligent race of men ;
endowed with such gifts of fortnne, this empire
may justly alledge a natural vocation to the So-
vereignty of the sea. In former times it sought
to extend its dominion on the Continent, but it
soon perceived that it could not effect much
against the race that inhabit it. Irl mo-
dern times, therefore, when the southern and
western worlds were opened, it quickly directed
thither its 'whole attention, and has stuck into the,
ground in distant Colonies she roots of the
power which blossoms in the island. The
modern art of navigation annihilates distance,
I and the remotest possessions lie in a nar-
. row circle round the seat of Empire, hrotight near
for its own use, hut far beyond the reach of the
enemy, who might covet :hem. Since that time
England, sufficient to itself, has withdrawn from_
the proper sphere of the politics of the Continent.
It has an interest in preserving an equilibrium of
power, and to prevent the arising (daily overgrown
Power ; because in the latter case alone it must
be ineyitably involved in the fate of the CoUti-
nent, hut in the former freely rises above it. It
is called upon to be the Guardian of the repose
of the Continent, maintaining, by its hite;-
•terenee by word and deed, the dutation of the
ancient once established order of things.—lts
only care is to hinder any colossus from aris-
ing, .which, setting one foot on the shores of the
continent, inay place the other upon the happy
Island ; in other respects it play leave to every one
the free developement of its powers. The minds
of a people, which, with persevsn ifetivity,
sir toggling with the wildest elemeids, is constantly
cruising in all (plasters of the. globe, sure of al-
ways finding again, at home, liharty and plenty,
and not made for nsrrow-hearted selfishness ; aid
thus the Powers beyond the seas are threatened
with no danger on this side,.and England's policy
in itself can have no hurtful influence except ac-
cidentally.
