Meakin, Walter. Life of an empire. *$1.80. Wessels.
7–38582.
A work whose aim is “to give clear and definite expression to some of the problems which confront the British Empire.... [The author] first traces the growth briefly, with compact and vivid narrative, of the empire from the time of the Romans to the present, presents the salient features of its different parts, discusses the problems and the tendencies of each locality, and in the final chapter considers the necessity of the unity of the empire and how it can be attained.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Mr. Meakin ... displays sound principle and good feeling generally expressed in commonplaces. On many of the grave questions of which he writes at length Mr. Meakin has failed to clear his mind. We find also a good many trifling errors which seem to show some deficiency in the equipment of our author.”
