An Account of its Origin, Progress, and Present Position. With full descriptions of Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, and other Colonies and Dependencies. By Edgar SANDERSON, M.A. (Cantab.), Author of " History of the British Empire", "Outlines of the World's History", etc, etc. Beautifully illustrated throughout with full-page drawings by the most eminent artists. New Edition. Greatly enlarged, and brought down to the reign of King Edward VII. In 6 volumes, cloth elegant, olivine edges.

The reader will find a full account of every colony, possession, and dependency where flies the Union Jack. The wonderful tale of our progress in the United Kingdom receives full justice and is not less interesting, embracing as it does the civil and military history of our country, the reform legislation, the foreign policy of Britain, and the chequered history of Ireland. While the narrative deals, for the most part, with the nineteenth century, a thoroughly interesting account of Great Britain in the eighteenth century is also presented.
