Excerpt from Lectures on British Colonization and Empire, First Series (1600-1783)

This little book, compiled from the most familiar and accessible materials, represents the first part of a design formed by the League of the Empire, whereby it is hoped to provide by means of illustrated lectures a historical outline of the growth of the British Empire. Experience proves that lectures illustrated by lantern-slides serve as an effective introduction to the study of history. But means and opportunity for this method are not everywhere available. This design is an attempt to supply the want by providing both a series of lectures arranged in historical sequence and also sets of slides illustrating them. The difficulties and drawbacks of such a scheme are obvious, but it is believed that its uses will outweigh these drawbacks. The limitations of length and of scope - each lecture to be adapted for pictorial illustration and for public delivery within the space of one hour - impose strict conditions of compression and selection, and leave little room for ornament or detail. Those who desire more may easily find means of satisfying their wholesome thirst.
