Book Description
Excerpt from The Edge of Empire The bungalow stood back from the Gulmarg Road, its garden a riot of colour and scent, its front windows facing across a wide grass slope sprinkled with fruit trees in blossom that dropped to the noisy river some hundred feet below; while behind it the forest rose steeply like delicate green spray tossed in the air. Above the spring foliage came the darker green of pines growing in serried ranks along the, rockier higher slopes, then even the pines ceased and the snow began, leagues of diamond-shining whiteness rising in unmeasured heights against a sky of dazzling blue.

Excerpt from A Keystone of Empire The great park was smiling with the new, clean washed radiance of spring, under a velvety blue sky, seen through the tender foliage of veteran trees, stretch ing their mighty arms greedily towards the golden sun rays. On the mossy edge of a fountain stood a baby - rosy, chubby, golden-haired, and blue-eyed - peering intently into the transparent water, wherein the squat body of a big, green frog reposed comfortably upon a miniature bowlder, his round, topaz eyes gleaming just above the surface.

Excerpt from The Grenadier a Story of the Empire Good reader, I'll not burden you with a long preface nobody likes a long preface. This is a story of the Empire. Follow with me, then, the French eagles, from the towers of Saragossa to the Kremlin's gilded dome at Moscow, in that stirring epoch which, as even the Prince de Metternich was forced to admit, can receive no more fitting appellation than The Age Napoleon. If when you have finished you feel that you have derived some pleasure and some profit from my labor, I shall say, like Gaspard in my story, That will be nice. I would like that - and so, good-bye.

Book Description
Excerpt from Patriotism and Empire History and poetry, we may be sure, will not willingly let die the antique tale of the three hundred who at Thermopylae held out for Sparta against the Persian host, knowing that there could be but one end, and facing it with a stern exaltation, combing their long hair for that, the last festival, and singing the while - 'Singing of death and of honour that cannot die.' It is true, there are offsets. There was no military wisdom in defending the pass after the Persians had got behind it; and if it was to be defended, it should have been, as before, from the narrows, not, as was finally done, by way of a sortie.
