The following chapter returns to Greece, the Turkish
Empire and its dependencies. The historian gives
striking picture of the British Empire, and here the
history scrupuOnsly exact, assumes the form of an
epic poem The policy Of the English is commercial,
and consists in increasing, at eat, in preserving,
the products of industry; opening to itself fresh
markets Hence fresh commercial treaties and fresh
conauests without, and a thousand problems for
the Government and for the Opposition within.

cracy Of proprietors and the democracy OF
the industrial classes, the statesman finds
