| | | | QUEEN ELIZABETH. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, We may feel some reluctance in turning away from contemporary events of absorbing mag- nitude and interest to the history of a remote past. The recent expansion of the British Empire affords ample material for thrilling description and mature study. We live at a time when British valour and enterprise have transformed desert and boundless lands beyond the seas into prosperous communities, and when tempered by British civilisation the 250 millions of alien and turbulent races of India have settled down into contented and industrious fellow- subjects. At every point of the compass Britons are developing the resources of the world, one with us in the enjoyment of the same rights and material advantages, one in responding to the call of the same duties and responsibilities, one in loyalty and devotion to the Sovereign under whose beneficent rule the greatness of England has spread to the furthest regions of the globe.
