England Itaelf was for three centuries a Bo- man colony, and an important snl stirring one, having, however, niere analogy iHu India than with Oanada or AustraUa. Eng- lish Britain, if we may use the term, began as a colony, but a colony of the true Eag- lish type the emigrants who came with Henglst and Horsa from the Elbe and the Weser oame to find a new home and remain in It. With mere or less indiamlminato slaughter ef the aborigines, a method wlilch has been enly too taittifaUy followed by their snooesaors, they cleared tiie country and bnUt thefar homestead amd fevuded their citlaa. For mora than a theuaand yeara did these Teuton caleniste go en de- velopiog the resources ef theb Island home, reoelvlng fresh and vigorous addMena, al- ways of essentially the sam« atoc^, before they liegan to look out westwards and southwards for fresh islands and othor cen- tinenta to harry and to settle and to nour- ish pewerful states. TABDT BEGINNINGS OF CONQUEST. The Portuguese and Spaniards, and even the French, were in the field long before England. Spain had a settlement in Do- minica as early as 1493, and Yaca de Gama reiched India in 1483. Within very few years India and South America had tbelr Portuguese and Spanish viceroys. In 1534 Jacques Cartler m»de his famous voyage up the csuntry in the name of the French sov- ereign. True, Oabot disoevered Newfound- land and the main land of North America in 1497, but he, like ether early western navigators, simply regarded, the new world as a barrier on the way to India. It was this latter land of fabulous riches that was the goal of the infiuit naval enterprise of England for many years after Oabot's dis- covery. The Portuguese menopoHzsd the rentes by the southern seas, and England had not yat a navy to cope wfth Its rival. The first effective English settlement on the island cannot be dated eialier than 1623, long before which Yirginia had been planted and Jamestown founded. True, in 15S0 the Britleh flag was planted in the West India island of Tobago, but that is- land was not efiectively occupied by Eng- land till 1703. MMntime, some roving Eng- lishmen had In 1605 planted a ere a in Bar- bados inscribed " James, king of England and of this Island," thoqgh there was no actual settlement till 1624 Bvrbadrs is one of the two or three British West India ialands that never changed hands. After all, however, Bermuda may fairly claim to be considered the earliest ef existing Eng- lish colonies, and it was oolenizad both frsm Virginia and England shortly after 1609 But later during the seventeenth century the growth of our colonial posses- sions was slow, if we except the New Eng- land Sates and the settlements en the east American coast to the south. Leaving these last out of view, as they no longer bo- long te us, our colonies at the close of the century welre few and scattered oampared with the enormous territories which Portu- gal and Spain, France and Holland, were endeavoring to drain of their wealth.- TWO HCNDBED YEABS AGO. At the end of the seventeenth century, be sides Newfoundland and Bermudas, and a few factories on the West African coast and in India, cf the present colonial empire we had possession, more or less stable, ef Jama- ica, Barbados, S!;. Christopher's Nevis, Turk's island, Antigna, Montserrat, Anipi- illa. Virgin Island. Bahamas and St. Hel- ena out in the Atlantic. The total area of these did not muoh exceed 60,000 (quare miles, for our African and Indian settlements, were little more than stations. Even if we added such parts of Neva Scotia and New Brunswick as were not occupied by France, the total area could scarcely be mere than 80,0C0 [quare miles. Daring the first half of the eignteenth century, if we except the confirmation to Great Britain of the ton North American colonies just mentioned, and one or two of the West India islands al- ready included, the only acquisition of im- portance as a foreign p o ss e ssion was Gibral- tar (i704), and that not as a colony but as a strategical station. A period of compar- ative quiesence prevailed during these fifty years previous to the outbreak ef the g|ra*t and leng-contlnned struggle between Bug- land and Framoo for supremacy on the seas. If not en land. THE FEBIOD OT THE FBENCH WABS. During the laat forty yeara of tiie eigh- teenth century, en the ether hand the broad foundations of Eogland'a Empire beyond the aeaa were firmly laid anbscquent oper- ations have mainly been in the way of de- velopment and cenaelldatien. The great atmggle between England and France for anpremaoy beyond Enn^ may be aald to have began simultaneoaaly in India and Canada. On the latter field It resulted In the capitalatien of Quebec in 1759, followed four yeara later by the oeadon ef the whole of Canada ao that England waa virtnally miatreaa of the whole of North America. In 1776 the Deolaratfon of Independence waa aignod, and in 1783 England had to re- dgn heraelf to ttie loaa of by far the meat vidnable half of her doniniena in America. The extent of our lost may bo estimated from the fact that o« trade with the United Statoa b equal to the total ef our eslonial trade, leaving India oat ef aooonnt^ and amonnta to mM-thlrdi of ear, entiro fonlgB meroe.

Thna, then, during the lattor half ef the eighteenth century we had a o oceeded In rapidly IncreaainR enr foreign pf sawadona by something like 6 500,000 square mllsa, reok^ ening the whole of AnatradlaaB virtually am- nexM. Daring the pr eaent century we have bean able to inoreaae thia area Iw about one- third, half ef it. at leaat, In India. Whtte, daring the laat elghty-aix yeara, we have been extending and cenfirmiag enr hold ever India, and while we have acquired one or two really impertant additions to ear col- onial possessions, it will be seen, aa we have aaid, tliat ear chief work baa been to devel- op and conaolidate the rcquIsMona ef the lattor half of the eighteentn century. In 1806 the Dutoh were compelled to hand over to ua their possessions in Senth Africa, which by the formation ef the Natal colony in 1838, and other subsequent annexat'oas, have been extended far beyond their origin- al boundaries. In 1807 we captured the tiny islet of Heligoland, and three years later, 1810, Mauritius capitulated, our pos- session ef the island being comfirmed by the Treaty of Paris, 1814. A year later, 1815, we acquired the Ionian Islands by treaty, enly to give them to Greece some fifty yeara after, and in the aame year we established our naval atation in Asoenalon. We all re- member the exolteteent ever the occupation ef Cyprus In 1878 IN OUB OWN TIMES The British North Borneo company was incorporated by royal charter in 1881. We have hardly yet recovered -frsm the excite- ment of raising the British flag over Sauth- ern New Guinea, the Niger mouths, and Bechuama land in 1883, while at this very moment our soldiers and. our civil servants are busy getting into working order the extonaive territory ef Upper Bnrmah, pre- clalmied English on the first day of the present vear. This last annexation, hew- ever, belongs rather to the record of our dominion in India, which has advanced so rapidly that the 200 000 square miles, and the 55.000.000 inhabitanu ef 1800 have grown to Bomf^thing like 1,500.000 square miles and 280,000.000 of a population. Thus, then, while the beginnings of the greatest colonial empire on record go back some 300 years, by far the greater portion of our foreign poBsessions have.been acquired during, the last 120 years. The statesmen under whom this great and widely scattered emphre was acquired and built up never entertained a doubt as to the necessity ef England, if she was to maintain her posi- tion among the nations. In taking this method of upholding her naval supremacy, of securing her influence In every quartur of the globe, of finding outlets for her rapidly Increasing pepulatUn^ and of keep- ing skll rivals out of the fisld.^ Of the nine mUUons or se of square miles over which our empire beyond the sea extends, some- thing like six and a half millions are in the main perfectly suited for European coleniz atlon. FBODUCrs OF THE EBfPIBE, Compare our foreign possessions with those of any other celoniu power â€" ^France, Spain, Portugal, HoUamd, and even Ger- many. Of the possessions of all these countries, French Algeria and perhaps New Caledonia aretheomy ones in whicn ac- climation for the European ia at all possible. Nearly every product which the earth is capable of yielding we can obtain in abund- amce within the borders ef our own pos- sessions. At home we still have plenty ef coal and iron Canada, Australia, New Zaaland, India, can send us ample stores ef every variety of grain animal products of all kinds Oanada, Australia, and the Cape can supply in abundance tea, oofise, sugar, cotton, and ether tropical and sub- tropical produota we can draw from both the. old and the new world of gold there is still no lack the tin mines of Tasmania are already funous, and both copper and tin are profitable preducta of New South Wales we have diamond mines in South Afrioa the wines ef Australia amd the Cape figure prominently In the exhibitieni Should our manufactures be paralysed, Canada might supply oa with blanketo and pianea. New Zealand with tweeda, Yiotoria with oarriagea. New South Walea with shoes, India tmd Malta with jewelry. The methods by which England baa gain- ed for heraelf thia enviable poaition among the natlona of the earth have been eaaenti- ally the aame aa theae by which our anoea- tora gained a footing in our ialand heme, whii£ they have raiaad to tiie prand poaitten of a mother of natlona. Aa a matter ef faot, keeplncc India out of view, about one half (3.800.000 aqnare mOes) 9i onr colonial poaaesslona have been obtained by legitimate oaptnra or oompnlaory oeaaien the other half by aettiemrnt or peaceful annexation. Under the former category we may fairly include the greater part of our Indian em- pire and of our great ooloaiea, Canada, the Capo, Oeylon, Bonaah and BrMah Guinea were obtdned in fair fight.

Bdgning |« a pro- fession like another, the fact that the King inherita his place and his duties bring one oommon to him and to great landlords, groat bankers, great brewers, and owners ef gnat shops. The Queen as she reflsoto upon tho past, must in the first instaiace regard it with a professional eye, and from that point of view she must look upon heraelf aa en the whola a anooaaaful woman. She has gained much and lest lltUeâ€" netting, indeed, ef value. Oonstitatienal revalty has snflered notUngIn her hands. She fcas deoldedly raised the oharactor of that branch of ths kingly prefeulen in the world's eyes, has made mankind think it more instead of less bsneficial and effective, and has indefinitely inoreased thdr rea^Uness te entenst it to women's charge. The long duration of her reign has increassd the general sense of the stability el tke system, as have also Ito free- dom from great blunders and the generad, though not complete, oontsntmont of her subjscte.

Nor is there any public evidence that the constitutional plan ef government, odd amd cumbrous as it seems to the philosopher, is drawing to a dose. The Queen may see signs of change that her subjscte denet, symptoms of grow- ing resistance, evidences of declhihig respect for the throne, indications that the props which supported it are beoeming unsteady but most observers, vre think, would agree in considering the English monarchy safer than in 1837. An abstract liking for Re- publicanism may have Increased, and un- doubtedly the desire te keep the throne in the background haa developed Itself and beceme mere conscious but tiie popular dis- like of royalty has died away, and with it an antipathy, keenly felt In many quarters down to 1837, for the particular dynasty. The Queen has never been "of Hanover," and has never been cenridered by her peo- ple anything but entirely E igUsh and that has been a cause of popularity. Her Majes- ty, looking back on eld memories, can hard- ly think otiierwlse than that; theugh It Koold bo mightily interesting to hear her own view of the position ef the throne in 1837 and 1886. She may have had direct powers in her earlier life, in the way of pa- tronage for example, which have slowly slipp^ away; she may have been less afraid ef Parliament when the trae people waa so completely outride it and she may feel that the separate volition of her minis- ters has grown strenger and mora enchain-, ing than it was when the sailor-King used to fume and swear. We do not think it haa been ao. for a certain awe ef the Queen has grown upon the men who come much in con- tact with her but only Her Majesty can toll exaclly what ef change there Has been. Zmta Morality' It is af no avail to shake your head, for I propose to show you in this brief artiole, that zigzag morality will apply admirably, to the eooasional acute curves In the line of conduct of certtdu individuals Inhabiting this mundane sphere. Many persons ef observant habits, must have noticed that there does exist a claaa of men who poaseas a double character or the power, when abroad, to metamorphese the morality whioh we have become aooua- tomed at heme, to aaaeciato with their namea. They are muoh like bate. We aemetimea mistake them for what they are not, bat what they aeem.
