Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the British Commonwealth, Vol. 1 of 2: The Islands and the First Empire (to 1763) It is part of the plan of the book that the treatment should become fuller as the narrative draws nearer to our own time. The present volume extends to 1763, and covers all that part of the story which is common to all the English speaking peoples. It will be succeeded by a second volume of similar dimensions, which will bring the story down to the Great War.
