Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Foundations of Success: A Plea for Rational Education
During the next century it would doubtless have seemed as absurd to the merchant princes of the great German confederacy, as the contrary pwposition now does to some sanguine men among ourselves, had they been told that their glories were destined to pass to the rough islanders whose ships were all but unknown in the Mediterranean, and whose manufactures did not sathoe to clothe their own commonalty but by the sixteenth century this event was already casting its shadow forward. The discovery of America, and the Reformation, which are the opening scenes of the drama of modern history, had brought forward Spain and Portugal as rivals to the Genoese, and had fired the English imagination by indicating a field for adventure, profit, and successful war which exactly suited the Anglo Saxon genius.
