Excerpt from The Life and Times of Sir George Grey, K. C. B
The two great events which have taken place during the nineteenth century, and which must, beyond all others, influence the future of the world, are the rapid progress of the United States of America, and the foundation and growth of the great system of colonies belonging to the British Empire. All other matters recorded - the relative power of the nations of Conti mental Europe; the story of their wars and rivalries cannot alter the future course of human progress, but the marvellous development of a few communities scattered along the eastern sea-board of the North American Continent into the mightiest and most wealthy nation that the world has seen; the exten sion of the colonies of the British Empire over such considerable portions of the whole surface of the habitable globe; and the establishment of numerous free and prosperous states in Canada, in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Polynesia, in which the surplus population of European nations, especially of the English-speaking races, may find homes and subsistence for centuries to come, are the real factors of history for this period.
