The Character of the British Empire by Ramsay Muir explains how Britain was able to continue having complete control over its colonies all around the world. Excerpt: "Nearly all the great self-governing nations of the world are now combined in a desperate struggle against the scarcely-veiled military despotism of the Central European Powers, and the object of the struggle has been well denned by President Wilson as the securing of freedom for democracy so that it shall be safe from the threats of militarist and conquering empires."

Excerpt from The Character of the British Empire Nearly all the great self-governing nations of the world are now combined in a desperate struggle against the scarcely-veiled military despotism of the Central European Powers, and the object of the struggle has been well defined by President Wilson as the securing of freedom for democracy, so that it shall be safe from the threats of militarist, so conquering empires. In the forefront of the group of States engaged in the defence of democracy stands the British Empire, the greatest dominion that has ever existed in history, which covers a quarter of the earth's surface, and in which a quarter of the earth's population is subject (at any rate, in form) to the rule of two small European islands. The very existence of this huge Empire seems to many people to stultify in some degree the cause for which the world's democracies are fighting. It seems, at first sight, to be simply the greatest example of that spirit of conquest and of military dominion against which we are striving. This is the view taken by some neutrals. "Imperialism is the enemy," says one Swiss writer; "whatever from it takes, German or Russian, British or French, it is equally the foe of free government." The Germans themselves make great play with this notion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Examines the origins and effects of the imperial ethos. The book traces the careers of esteemed imperial figures and shows how they sought to inspire an obedience in the colonized based not merely on duty but on love. The result was a strange mixture of hypocrisy and racism.

THE BRITISH CHARACTERSTUDIED AND REVEALED BY E.M.DELAFIELDCONTENTS INTRODUCTION By E. M. DELAHELD FOREWORD BREEDING THE ARTS THE EMPIRE SPIRIT LOVE OF ANIMALS DOMESTIC SOCIAL SENSE RURAL TRAVEL SPORT INTRODUCTION by E. M. Delafield IT has been well saidby myself, as it chances that every Englishman is an average Englishman: its a national characteristic. What is more, no true Englishman would wish it to be otherwise. He prefers his neighbour to be an average Englishmanhe prefers to be one himself. He likes what he knows. The humour of Fonts drawings will appeal to him enormously, I hope and believebut that appeal will mostly lie in the fact that he recognises every situation por trayed as a thoroughly familiar one. His friends, his relations, and himself have all experienced those tendencies so trenchantly depicted by the artist, and have reacted to them in precisely the same way. He can therefore enjoy himself without having to think. For if there is one peculiarity in the British character that is more marked than another, it is this aversion from thought. At this stage I must digress, briefly, to say that if I have a fault to find with this book, it is that it was not called The English, rather than The British Character. My own remarks will be entirely con fined to the former, and will include neither the Scottish, the Irish, the Welsh, nor the farflung denizens of the British Empire. Quite a number of these are as ready as possible, for instance, to think wrongly, no doubt, on the part of the Irish, whimsicallywhich is worseon the part of the Scots, and unintelligibly on the part of the Welsh. But to return to the English. To think is no part of their character. Instead of thoughts, the English have traditions. The tradition of the Home, for instance. Even the Frencha volatile and irreverent race, with no marked bias in favour of Albionhave preferred not to translate this word, but to recognise it as unalterably English in origin and spirit by referring to it as le home. Yet how do the English treat le homethat is, theoretically and traditionally, the backbone of their country ? Their first care is to remove their children from it by sending them to boardingschool almost as soon as they can walk, and keeping them there until they are old enough to be sent still farther away. Their next is to avoid the proximity of their relations. Unlike the Latin races, the English seldom keep a widowed motherinlaw, an un married sister and a couple of canaries on the top floor, an asthmatic uncle and his housekeeper on the third, and a centenarian cousin in a little room behind the kitchen, They speak, write and sing of Home Sweet Home, and by this means have built up the tradition that it is a thoroughly English institution. Once tradi tion is firmly established, the thing is done. The danger of having to think is practically eliminated. Another tradition that is rooted not only in our own soil, but in the minds of the rest of the world, is the devotion of the English to animals.

This book is an examination of the concept of ‘character’ as a moral marker in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its main purpose is to investigate how the ‘character talk’ that helped to shape elite Britons’ sense of themselves was used at this time to convince audiences, both in Britain and in the places they had conquered, that empire could be morally as well as materially justified and was a great force for good in the world. A small group of radical thinkers questioned many of the arguments of the imperialists but found it difficult to escape entirely from the sense of moral superiority that marked the latter’s language.
