Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Emblem of Empire: Address Delivered at the Progress Club, Vancouver, November 5, 1913
The visiting Briton has nothing to complain of in the hospitality accorded to him on the part of his London kinsman. He has joined the clubs and insti tutes of the metropolis, and these, while not alto gether inclusive, have interests and connections as wide as the Empire itself. But Vacuity itself, gap ing wide, has evervwhere stared him in the face where the great Imperial Thing ought to be. There has been nothing to appeal to his Imperial conscious ness - nothing to satisfy his Imperial pride. And. After all, it is something to create and nourish the Empire habit of mind; is it not also very much worth while to appeal to the Imperial imagination something to cultivate also the pride of Empire?
