Excerpt from The Canadian Naval Question: Addresses
AN Act of Parliament always contains immediately after the title an interpretation clause having read which you know, or ought to know, precisely what the Act is dealing with. And because there is sometimes an uncertainty in men's minds as to the exact value attached by individual writers to particular words, I propose to follow the example of the Acts and attempt to define to my readers and myself what I mean by one or two of the most important words which I shall use.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book asserts that Britain's naval supremacy is the cornerstone of the empire it has developed across the globe. The author, an active participant in the Navy League on Canada's west coast, begins by establishing a definition for "Empire" before presenting an insightful argument regarding the critical importance of the Royal Navy. The author elucidates on the origins of the British Empire, tracing its roots back to the acts of chivalry and self-sacrifice from which the Royal Navy grew, then emphasizes that this body has historically been the protector of fair play and ordered liberty. Through this analysis, the author makes the case that the self-governance enjoyed by the Empire's Dominions is founded on the security provided by British naval power. The author concludes with a special note to Canadians, who have not yet been asked to contribute to the maintenance of this force but who, as the largest Dominion, should logically lead the way in demonstrating their commitment to the strength and security of the Empire as a whole.
