Deeds That Won the Empire: Historic Battle Scenes (Classic Reprint)

W.H. Fitchett

4.9/5 (31180 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Deeds That Won the Empire: Historic Battle Scenes The tales here told are written, not to glorify war, but to nourish patriotism. They represent an effort to renew in popular memory the great traditions of the Imperial race to which we belong. The history of the Empire of which we are subjects - the story of the struggles and sufferings by which it has been built up - is the best legacy which the past has bequeathed to us. But it is a treasure strangely neglected. The State makes primary education its anxious care, yet it does not make its own history a vital part of that education. There is real danger that for the average youth the great names of British story may become meaningless sounds, that his imagination will take no colour from the rich and deep tints of history. And what a pallid, cold-blooded citizenship this must produce! War belongs, no doubt, to an imperfect stage of society; it has a side of pure brutality. But it is not all brutal Wordsworth's daring line about "God's most perfect instrument" has a great truth behind it.
