Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems of Greater Britain, Vol. 1 of 2
IN 1866 67, on leaving Cambridge, I made a journey round the world on which I wrote a book of travel, the name of which has lived while the book is wholly out of date. Owing to the success of the title of Greater Britain, the work, since the cessation of its sale as a new book, has continued to be in demand - a demand which has shown no tendency to decrease with the lapse of years, - but has been a source of embarrass ment to the author, who could not but feel that the work had become in a great number of points wholly inapplicable to existing circumstances. In 1875 I made another journey round the globe, after which I added two chapters to Greater Britain, and, by the insertion of footnotes, tried to bring my volumes up to date.
